Re: Con Law MC
Conlaw MC advice:
When looking at fact patterns that address state action and a citizen's rights...
Know your levels of scrutiny.
Many (on the bar) are easy to solve this way; do not get distracted by a sucker choice.
ex: "Sally wants to sue becasue a new ordinance has stopped parking around her store"...
(blah blah blah... they will draw it out with nonsense..)
The bottom line is:
Know that based on the facts "Sally" is NOT a protected class (EP= rational basis)
and... Parking is not a fundamental right (DP = rational basis)
So, she loses, unless rational basis fails. And It won't.
So, knowing the levels of scrutiny allows for quick dismissal of options.
And, as I was taught: "Privileges and Immunities" is almost always a sucker choice.
Almost.... heh heh.
hope that helps.
also: watch for the "If" clause that crowbars in the RIGHT answer using the words you know are the wrong answer!
They will lead you to an obvious answer (sucker choice!)... then make THE OPPOSITE the right answer by adding "if".
Yep. Sneaky.
