We close our discussion of Justice O’Connor’s legacy by soliciting your predictions for the future. Which of the Justice’s decisions will continue to endure and influence the law, and which are likely to be overruled or modified? Ultimately, how do you think history will remember Justice O’Connor?
We continue our Community discussion of Justice O’Connor’s legacy by asking you for your thoughts on the ways in which Justices O’Connor and Kennedy have occupied the role of the Court’s “swing vote.” As the ideological centers of their respective Courts, these two Justices have been extraordinarily influential, but they have not always taken the same approach to their role.
Today in the Community we consider some of Justice O’Connor’s decisions that have been modified by the current Court.
This week in the Community we discuss the legacy of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. We’d like to kick off the discussion by asking your thoughts on Justice O’Connor’s most significant contributions to the Court’s practice and jurisprudence.

Today in the Community we continue our discussion of FCC v. Fox, which was argued on Tuesday. Our subtopic for today is whether – putting to the side the enormous amount of media attention that the case has received – the regulation of “fleeting indecency” is in fact an important First Amendment issue.
The enforcement of obscenity regulations is arguably paradoxical given that policies must be sufficiently comprehensive to explicate what is prohibited, but not over-inclusive in the abstract so as to chill speech.
Today in our discussion of FCC v. Fox we ask: Can regulation of indecency be justified by the need to protect children? If so, how might the logic of this decision differ from that of the majority ruling last Term in Brown v. EMA? We hope you will participate.
This week we discuss the regulation of broadcast and other media. On Tuesday the Court will hear oral arguments in Federal Communications Commission v. Fox Television Stations.
For our final discussion topic of the week, we ask you to look into your crystal ball and predict how you think the Court will rule in the Texas redistricting cases.
