Due process
Article Abstract:
The leading due process cases decided by the US Supreme Court during the 1991 term included Planned Parenthood v Casey and Foucha v Louisiana. In Planned Parenthood v Casey, the court upheld informed consent and reporting requirement provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982, further eroding women's reproductive rights. In Foucha v Louisiana, the court again departed from its two-tier framework for analyzing substantive due process claims, suggesting the need for an intermediate level of scrutiny.

Foreign affairs power - the Massachusetts Burma law is found to encroach on the federal government's exclusive constitutional authority to regulate foreign affairs
Article Abstract:
A Massachusetts law prohibiting local governments from conducting business with companies trading with Burma was properly ruled unconstitutional in National Trade Council v. Baker on the ground that the law unlawfully intruded on the federal government's exclusive authority over foreign affairs. The US District Court for Massachusetts missed an opportunity, however, to distinguish between local interest laws with and without a 'foreign affairs purpose.'
