Did The Founding Fathers Do "A Heckuva Job"? Constitutional Authorization For The Use Of Federal Troops To Prevent The Loss Of A Major American City, Michael Greenberger
Did The Founding Fathers Do "A Heckuva Job"? Constitutional Authorization For The Use Of Federal Troops To Prevent The Loss Of A Major American City, Michael Greenberger
Schmooze 'tickets'
As the one year anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast passed, the highly critical reports of the Bush Administration's mismanagement of the response to that catastrophe continued to mount. Central to the criticism of the Administration was its indecisiveness in deploying military assets to rescue and protect Gulf Coast citizens overwhelmed by one of the country's worst natural disasters. The President failed to act because of a perceived lack of statutory and constitutional authority to override the Louisiana Governor's refusal to allow the Federal government to have ultimate control over the deployment of Federal troops …
Oy Canada! Trade's Non-Solution To "The Problem" Of U.S. Drug Prices, Daniel Gilman
Oy Canada! Trade's Non-Solution To "The Problem" Of U.S. Drug Prices, Daniel Gilman
Faculty Scholarship
Price disparities—price “differentiation” or “discrimination”—in pharmaceuticals markets have, in recent years, been the subject of much discussion. Price sensitivity should come as no surprise: Medicines play an increasingly important role in healthcare, while pharmaceuticals prices continue to rise. When prices vary greatly within markets or between neighboring markets, the pressure towards arbitrage is clear. This paper considers the question whether the re-importation of medicines from Canada or the EU is well advised and argues that it is not. First, we might reasonably question the extent to which we wish, as a matter of policy, to manage pharmaceuticals pricing; among other …
The Alfonse And Gaston Of Governmental Response To National Public Health Emergencies: Lessons Learned From Hurricane Katrina For The Federal Government And The States, Michael Greenberger
The Alfonse And Gaston Of Governmental Response To National Public Health Emergencies: Lessons Learned From Hurricane Katrina For The Federal Government And The States, Michael Greenberger
Faculty Scholarship
Hurricane Katrina renewed an old debate concerning which level of government should lead the response effort to catastrophic disasters. Traditionally, emergency response is handled at the most local level possible. Hurricane Katrina, however, and other catastrophes that may be labeled "Incidents of National Significance," are examples of emergencies of such magnitude that federal assets must be brought to bear to respond adequately to the situation. As such Incidents will almost always affect interstate commerce, Congress' commerce powers justify federal intervention in, and if necessary, supervision of the response. In such situations, the National Response Plan provides for extensive coordination between …

False Conflict: Who's In Charge Of National Public Health Catastrophes, Michael Greenberger
Faculty Scholarship
Hurricane Katrina renewed an old debate concerning which level of government should lead the response effort to catastrophic disasters. Traditionally, emergency response is handled at the most local level possible. The National Response Plan (NRP) adheres to this tenet, while providing for extensive coordination between the federal government and states and localities, if necessary. In doing so, the NRP provides procedures to ensure that federal assets may be brought to bear, without stomping on the nation's time honored commitment to the principles of federalism.
Facial Challenges, Legislative Purpose, And The Commerce Clause, David L. Franklin
Facial Challenges, Legislative Purpose, And The Commerce Clause, David L. Franklin
ExpressO
Over the past decade or so, the Supreme Court has issued an extraordinary and highly controversial series of decisions concerning the scope of Congress’s power. Yet beneath the surface of the debate over the federalism cases lies a parallel dispute that has received far less academic notice. This dispute concerns the proper mode of judicial review in cases testing the scope of congressional power. The uncertainty is greatest in the Commerce Clause area, where the Court’s recent cases—including its 2005 decision in Gonzales v. Raich—have shown a strong preference for facial challenges, in sharp contrast to the Court’s traditional inclination …
Taxpayer Standing And Daimlerchrysler V. Cuno: Where Do We Go From Here?, Kristin E. Hickman, Donald B. Tobin
Taxpayer Standing And Daimlerchrysler V. Cuno: Where Do We Go From Here?, Kristin E. Hickman, Donald B. Tobin
Faculty Scholarship
In granting certiorari in the case of Daimler-Chrysler Corp. v. Cuno, the Supreme Court asked the parties to brief "whether respondents have standing to challenge Ohio's investment tax credit." This report applies modern standing doctrine to the Cuno case and concludes that the Cuno plaintiffs do no have standing to raise their claims in federal court. Moreover, the authors write, allowing the Cuno plaintiffs' case to be resolved in federal court would open the federal court system to a wide range of taxpayer challenges better left to the political branches of government. Nevertheless, they recognize that there may be …
Separate But Taxed: A Rejection Of The Steamlined Sales Tax Project Through A Commerce Clause And Federalist Analysis, Gregory R. Evans
Separate But Taxed: A Rejection Of The Steamlined Sales Tax Project Through A Commerce Clause And Federalist Analysis, Gregory R. Evans
American University Law Review
Sales and use taxes, which are levied by forty-five states, have long been an important source of revenue for state and local governments. The rigid structure of these long-standing taxes, however, has been strained by the rapid evolution of the online economy. As a result, the Multistate Tax Commission (“MTC”) devised a plan, the Streamlined State Sales Tax Project (“STP”), to recapture some of the revenue that state and local governments might otherwise lose as consumer purchases migrate from local retailers to online sellers. This plan, approved reciprocally by the states, but not by Congress, was designed by state legislators …
The Rush To The Goblin Market: The Blurring Of Quill'S Two Nexus Tests, H. Beau Baez Iii
The Rush To The Goblin Market: The Blurring Of Quill'S Two Nexus Tests, H. Beau Baez Iii
Seattle University Law Review
Part II of this Article begins with a brief introduction to sales and use taxes in the United States. Although these taxes are complementary in nature, they are treated differently for constitutional purposes. This Part then examines the Due Process Clause and Commerce Clause constraints on state taxation, which are animated by very different concerns. Next, this Part explores footnote eight in Quill to dispel the notion that Quill established a facts-and-circumstances test. The section concludes by discussing the problems lower courts have had in applying the Quill nexus tests. The primary problem encountered by the lower courts, exemplified by …

The New Commerce Clause Doctrine In Game Theoretical Perspective, Maxwell L. Stearns
The New Commerce Clause Doctrine In Game Theoretical Perspective, Maxwell L. Stearns
Faculty Scholarship
The Roberts Court emerges at a critical juncture in the development of Commerce Clause doctrine. While the Commerce Clause doctrine implicates concerns for federalism and separation of powers, both of which are rooted in the earliest part of our constitutional history, the new Court presents an ideal opportunity to critically assess existing doctrines and to develop new analytical paradigms. The Rehnquist Court succeeded for the first time in sixty years in imposing substantive limits on the scope of this important source of Congressional power. That Court proved far less successful, however, in developing a coherent normative theory that reconciles the …

In a unique decision, the Fifth Circuit in National Solid Waste Management Ass'n v. Pine Belt Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA) used the prudential zone of interests standing test to bar the plaintiffs, who met constitutional standing requirements, from filing a facial, per se challenge under the dormant Commerce Clause. Six Mississippi counties and cities that are members of the Pine Belt Regional Solid Waste Management Authority (the Authority) had enacted flow control ordinances that required all solid waste collected in their six jurisdictions be sent to the Authority's facilities, and, thus, prohibited the export of waste to alternative, …
