Summary
Moore v. City of East Cleveland1 is both a victory and a missed opportunity. It is a victory in the context of the U.S. Supreme Court’s pronouncement of the reach of the Fourteenth Amendment’s protection of families. Moore extends the understanding of the liberty interest in family and family life found by the Court in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to members of an extended family. Such reading of the liberty interest extends protections, given historical trends regarding who lives in extended families, to the poor, to minorities, to immigrant families, and to cultural “others.”
