Donald Trump and the Weight of Presidential Speech
President Trump’s habit of making off the cuff remarks and veering off script that sometimes contradicts official White House policy raises the question: when and how much should the president’s speech matter in the courts? With litigations on the travel bans, sanctuary cities, and other executive actions, the courts are grappling with this issue. Professor Shaw explores how courts have historically examined such speech and offers her proposal for a legal framework.
