Election could sway U.S. Supreme Court’s take on key constitutional provisions

    The U.S. Supreme Court's future rulings on campaign spending, school choice, individual gun rights, and government's general power to regulate "commerce" all hang in the balance as voters head to the polls this fall.

    That was the warning Wake Forest University Professor John Dinan delivered during a speech Monday to the John Locke Foundation's Shaftesbury Society. Dinan's remarks were tied to the commemoration of the 229th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution.

    Dinan focused on four constitutional provisions on voters' figurative "national ballot" in November. Whoever wins the presidential election will appoint a U.S. Supreme Court justice who could break a 4-4 deadlock on all four provisions. In the video clip above, Dinan outlines the most important provision. The other provisions deal with First Amendment implications of school choice and the establishment of religion, Second Amendment gun ownership rights, and the Constitution's treatment of commerce.
