the significant point about the petition cause is we know historically that petitions are frequently, maybe even quintessentially, on matters of private as well as public concern. you can submit petitions on matters of public concern, but the vast majority of petitions that would have been known to the farmers of the first amendment or matters of private concern. if you had a problem with the government, you send in a petition asking for it to be dealt with. his point is that the first amendment has different protections. the free-speech clause is not the only thing there. there is the speech clause. there is protection. there is assembly. there is free exercise of the establishment related to religion. he says if you look at the purposes of the speech clause it may be logical to give greater protection for matters of public concern, but if you are looking at the petition cause it does not have within it and the preference or greater importance for public rather than private. if anything, it has the other way. the majority opinion written by justice kennedy essentially reduces the pet

generic manufacturers have to petition the fda. you have justice sotomayor saying we have never found it so easy to make out a case of preemption. the majority, she wrote, presumed the drug manufacturer was not obligated under federal law to petition to change the label if the manufacturer was chris with the label did not provide adequate warning. she would have found at the very least the manufacturer was obliged to bring such a petition to the fda. the court found otherwise and again did not mention the presumption against pre-emption. in a very significant development, a plurality of the court, in a part justice kennedy did not join, appeared to reject the presumption against pre- emption. this is a major development. it is four justices, including the chief. it is based on a novel, texture list, and original interpretation of the supremacy clause that arose in a law review article by caleb nelson of the university of virginia. it was left to justice sotomayor to reject the move toward a more original list understanding of the s
