" Major, governing, federalism cases get glancing review, while pages 
are spent on Carolene Products, fn. 4, which was dead doctrine on arrival."

Now that I've seen MH's statement, above, for a second time, I'm going 
to say that I was puzzled by it the first time and remain puzzled as to 
why Fn. 4 is said to have been DOA.  I think I've seen all sorts of 
references that made me think it had continuing vitality, but perhaps 
I've been deceived. 

I've lent Prof. Hamilton's new book on FA-religion out to a student and 
so can't quote the title, but found it informative, helpful, etc.
