More on Important Supreme Court Preemption Case: Watters v. Wachovia Bank

By Brian Wolfman

     Today's Washington Post has this informative article on Watters v. Wachovia Bank, which presents the question whether the National Bank Act preempts states' efforts to regulate the lending activities of state-chartered subsidiaries of national banks.  The case will be argued in the Supreme Court on November 29.  We previously posted many of the Supreme Court briefs here.  On the day before the argument, the American Enterprise Institute is sponsoring a forum featuring speakers who take different views on this important preemption question.
