State F located in the southern half of the United States experienced a strong influx of retirees, due in part to its mild winters and in part to the generous health benefits that State F historically provided to its elderly residents who fell below the federal poverty line. State F’s Office of Budget Management determined that the influx of retirees would bankrupt State F’s health care benefit fund within five years. To preserve the fund and ensure the health of its citizens, State F revised its health care statute to make persons ineligible for coverage until they have lived in State F for at least one year.If a retiree, who was denied benefits because she just moved to State F, challenges the constitutionality of the statute in federal court, is she likely to prevail?

Beach City passed an ordinance prohibiting all of its police officers and firefighters from “moonlighting” (working a second job). The ordinance was passed to ensure that all police officers and firefighters were readily available in case an emergency should arise and for overtime work when the situation warranted it.

A police officer who wanted to moonlight as a dancer at a nightclub within Beach City limits brought suit in federal court, alleging that the ordinance violated her constitutional rights.Will the court likely find the ordinance constitutional as applied to the police officer?

Intending to encourage long-time resident aliens to become American citizens, State T passed a law denying numerous state and municipal jobs to persons who had been resident aliens for longer than 10 years.

State I’s highway speed limits were 65 miles per hour in its flat land regions and 55 miles per hour in its mountainous regions. To reduce traffic fatalities and combat the fact that most of the vehicles on state highways were exceeding posted speed limits, the State I legislature proposed banning the use of radar detectors. Citizens in the mountainous regions of State I, where most of State I’s highway fatalities occurred, generally supported the ban, but citizens in the flat regions of State I opposed the ban, so the legislature adopted a law banning use of radar detectors on any road with a speed limit below 60 miles per hour.Donald, a driver whose car was equipped with a radar detector. lived in the mountainous region of State I but frequently drove to State I’s flat region. While on a mountain highway with a posted speed limit of 55 miles per hour, Donald was pulled over by a State I trooper for speeding. While approaching Donald’s car, the State I trooper noticed that Donald’s radar detector was turned on. The trooper ticketed Donald for both speeding and illegal use of a radar detector. Donald challenges his ticket for use of the radar detector, arguing that it is unfair to allow people in the flat lands to use radar detectors while prohibiting residents of the mountainous region from using them.Which of the following statements is correct regarding the burden of proof in such a case?

Adherents of a particular religion whose tenets focused mostly on business practices forbade women from studying their sacred texts. A group of college students who were adherents of that religion applied to use an empty room at their state college to study sacred texts. The school permitted numerous student groups to use its facilities for extracurricular activities during times when classes were not in session. However, the school administration denied the requests from the group in question, claiming that it would be in violation of a state statute forbidding any group using public facilities to discriminate on the basis of race or gender. The students brought an action in federal court challenging application of the statute to them by the school administration.If the court finds the actions of the school valid, what is the most likely reason?
