Hypothetical: For the hypothetical, you should be prepared to state the legal question, constitutional provision, and ALL relevant case law and doctrines. Much like the midterm, each hypothetical should be written in the style of a judicial opinion that cites relevant case law to justify your decision.

If other cases and doctrines might apply and can reasonably be used, you can receive extra credit for discussing them.   Picard v. TN Dept of Treasury (3025)  The Planet (state) of Tennessee enacts the “Starfleet Tax Act,” a planetary-level income tax on federal retirement benefits. Jean-Luc Picard retires from the Federal Starfleet and is surprised when he gets a tax bill from the planet of Tennessee for his retirement benefits. He has a friend who retired from the Tennessee Planetary Waste Treatment plant, and his friend isn’t being taxed. Apparently, Tennessee added a provision in the new tax code that exempts Tennessee Planet employees from paying the tax on their retirement funds. Picard is pissed. He sues.
