Federal Court Jurisdiction Over Private Tcpa Claims: Why The Federal Courts Of Appeals Got It Right, Kevin N. Tharp

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 protects the privacy interests of residential telephone subscribers by placing restrictions on unsolicited, automated telephone calls to the home and facilitates interstate commerce by restricting certain uses of facsimile machines and automatic dialers. Since the statute is silent regarding federal district court jurisdiction over private TCPA claims, federal courts scramble in search for existing law to support their conclusions that the TCPA divests federal district courts of jurisdiction over private TCPA claims.

The Demise Of Hypothetical Jurisdiction In The Federal Courts, Scott C. Idleman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Recent years have witnessed a modest but expanding Supreme Court effort to return the national government to its structural first principles.' Foremost among these is that federal power, although vast, is neither inherent nor unbounded, but consists only of that granted by the Constitution. In 1998, the Court remained steadfast to this precept, thwarting yet another attempt by a federal branch to exceed its limited and enumerated constitutional powers. This time, however, the perpetrator was none other than the Article IH judiciary itself. In Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Environment, the Court formally denounced the federal court practice …
