《公民自由与（后肯尼迪）罗伯茨法院：隐私、言论和宗教》

BU Law marked Constitution Day with a panel that considered some of the decisions from the past Supreme Court term.

随着最高法院2017-18年任期的结束，最高法院的关键一票——肯尼迪大法官宣布退休。 BU Law celebrated Constitution Day with “《公民自由与（后肯尼迪）罗伯茨法院：隐私、言论和宗教》,” a panel that considered some of the most controversial decisions from the past term in the areas of privacy, religion, and speech, in which Justice Kennedy often played a critical role. These include the Court’s decisions to uphold the travel ban (特朗普诉夏威夷案), reverse a ruling against baker Jack Phillips for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple (杰作蛋糕店诉科罗拉多州民权委员会案), strike down California’s rules concerning crisis pregnancy centers (美国国家图联诉贝塞拉案), and rule that Fourth Amendment expectations of privacy limit government’s ability to monitor persons through their cell phones (卡彭特诉美国). The panel also discussed how the post-Kennedy Court might address future controversies over these issues.
