This begins the analysis of federal judicial power under Article III, starting with the Eleventh Amendment and whether a court has jurisdiction. 08:55 Eleventh Amendment: State Sovereign Immunity States, agencies, and officials are immune in federal court unless exceptions like consent or valid congressional abrogation apply. 13:14 Justiciability and Standing Requirements For a federal court to hear a case, there must be standing—injury in fact, causation, and redressability—plus attention to ripeness and mootness. 16:42 Hypotheticals, Taxpayer Suits, and Mootness Several classic hypotheticals demonstrate when a case is not justiciable, including taxpayer standing and the effects of changed circumstances. 20:39 Congress and Enumerated Powers Congress must rely on Article I, Section 8 to pass laws—typically involving the Taxing Power, Spending Power, or the Commerce Clause. 22:27 When Spending Becomes Coercion Congress can encourage state action through funding conditions, but cannot coerce or commandeer state governments. 24:38 The Commerce Clause: Channels, Instrumentalities, and Substantial Effects Congress can regulate commerce via physical channels, people or goods moving through them, or any activity with a substantial effect on interstate commerce. 27:09 Commercial vs. Non-Commercial Activity If an activity is economic in nature, Congress can apply the aggregation doctrine—but non-commercial acts like gun possession in school zones fall outside that scope. 30:29 Wrapping Up Federal Powers The video ends by previewing presidential power and summarizing the “Power of the Feds” analysis—a key category on bar exam essays.
