Pokorny v. Ford Motor Co.

holding no error where a witness merely described her personal observations concerning the emotions of the victim during their counseling sessions | distinguishing casual encounter between police officer and college student from “the kind of association to which a specially protected constitutional right” might attach | “[I]t is well-established that a savings clause ... does not ‘save’ common law actions that would subvert a federal statutory or regulatory scheme.” | "Indeed, a taxpayer who owes back taxes for several years may pay interest on and sue with respect to only one of them.” | the question of express preemption is properly analyzed only after consideration of both Sections 1392(d) and 1397(k) | associations for purposes other than expression are more properly viewed as stemming from the Fourteenth Amendment right to substantive due process rather than from the First Amendment | a common law rule cannot prohibit the exercise of a federally granted option | a common law rule cannot prohibit the exercise of a federally granted option | the right of intimate association is not protected by the first amendment | casual chit-chat between two people not protected First Amendment activity
