[edit] Next PCA
[edit] Nominations
Voting for the next PCA may begin at any time. The following articles have been nominated:
- Marbury v. Madison - established judicial review
- Hamdi v. Rumsfeld - government's ability to detain unlawful combatants
- Webster v. Reproductive Health Services abortion regulation
- United States v. Carolene Products Co. Footnote four started modern levels of judicial scrutiny
- Prize Cases presidential power in wartime
- While I can't think of any off the top of my head, I'm proposing a case that, unlike the ones above, doesn't have very much substance to it at all, yet it has had a powerful effect on law. That way, everyone could get involved and work to build it from nothing.
- Category:U.S._Supreme_Court_stubs is full of short articles (and a few that no longer deserve the stub designation).
- Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, extremely short right now, yet an interesting case involving free speech
- Bush v. Gore - controversial case indirectly deciding 2000 U.S. Presidential Election
[edit] Voting
- Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition
- I'd forgotten about this case, but now I remember hearing about the court's fascinating reasoning.--Kchase T 15:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Since MZM suggested it, I'll register a vote for him (her) as well, though these tend just to be pile-ons.--Kchase T 15:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)- Making it an official vote. --MZMcBride 20:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
