Interpreting The Fourteenth Amendment: Two Don'ts And Three Dos, Garrett Epps
Interpreting The Fourteenth Amendment: Two Don'ts And Three Dos, Garrett Epps
All Faculty Scholarship
A sophisticated reading of the legislative record of the framing of the Fourteenth Amendment can provide courts and scholars with some general interpretive principles to guide their application of the Amendment to current legal problems. The author argues that two common legal conceptions about the Amendment are, in fact, misconceptions. The first is that the Amendment was chiefly concerned with the immediate situation of freed slaves in the former slave states. Instead, he argues, the legislative record suggests that the framers were broadly concerned with the rights not only of freed slaves but also of foreign-born immigrants in the North …

Emergency Federalism: Calling On The States In Perilous Times, Adam M. Giuliano
Emergency Federalism: Calling On The States In Perilous Times, Adam M. Giuliano
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The attacks of September 11 prompted a historic debate concerning terrorism and domestic emergency response. This ongoing dialogue has driven policy decisions touching upon both liberty and security concerns. Yet despite the enormous effort that has gone into the national response, the role of the sovereign states, and with it federalism, has received comparatively little attention. This Article explores the relevance of federalism within the context of the "War on Terror" and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Acknowledging that theories of federalism developed elsewhere are insufficient, he outlines a doctrine of 'emergency federalism.' The author argues that the Framers …
A Wolf In Sheep’S Clothing: The Unilateral Executive And The Separation Of Powers, Thomas J. Cleary
A Wolf In Sheep’S Clothing: The Unilateral Executive And The Separation Of Powers, Thomas J. Cleary
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “The United States Constitution vests all executive powers in a president. This is the unitary executive theory. By virtue of this, many believe the president is vested with the power to act unilaterally. This is the unilateral executive theory. However, the unilateral executive portends more than action. In reality, the unilateral executive theory provides an opportunity to implement a unilateral agenda. Thus, the aim of this paper is to consider executive power, the separation of powers, and the unilateral executive theory to determine if presidential power under the separation of powers doctrine is actually “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” …

Abraham Lincoln And The Development Of The "War Powers" Of The Presidency, Allen C. Guelzo
Civil War Era Studies Faculty Publications
By conferring on the President the title of "commander in chief," the Constitution created an awkward and undefined area of presidential prerogative. The first President to have to confront this ambiguity was Abraham Lincoln, who developed a presidential "war powers" doctrine based on his presidential oath, the Constitution's "republican guarantee," and the necessity imposed by the novelty of a civil war. This doctrine was seriously contested in Lincoln's time by both Congress and the judiciary, and it continues to be an unresolved constitutional question in the present. But Lincoln's use of such war powers is one demonstration of how a …

When The Immovable Object Meets The Unstoppable Force: Search And Seizure In The Age Of Terrorism, Anthony C. Coveny
When The Immovable Object Meets The Unstoppable Force: Search And Seizure In The Age Of Terrorism, Anthony C. Coveny
Anthony C Coveny Ph.D.,J.D.,MA.
Abstract In 2001, the airborne attack on the World Trade Center, unlike any other in U.S. History, shook America to her core. In the process, the hand of government was strengthened at the expense of the constitutional liberties afforded by the Fourth Amendment. MacWade v. Kelly is just one more example of the increasing governmental interest in securing this nation from another terrorist attack, and in so doing, subjecting Americans to more “big brother” government. In MacWade, the New York Police Department faced down a 42 U.S.C 1983 challenge to its Container Inspection Program (CIP) in the name of security. …
Originalism And The Problem Of Fundament Fairness, R. George Wright
Originalism And The Problem Of Fundament Fairness, R. George Wright
R. George Wright Professor
Originalism is perhaps the most prominent theory of how to interpret the Constitution. Originalism, however, rests upon a process of constitutional drafting and ratification that systematically excluded important demographic groups. Originalism thus rests on a fundamental injustice. Crucially, this fundamental injustice is not confined to the past once the various excluded groups gain the franchise. Originalist theories remain crucially tainted and skewed, particularly with respect to constitutional questions on which originally excluded groups had interests diverging from those of non-excluded groups. The continuing effects of the fundamental unfairness of the constitutional drafting and ratifying process are explored through considering the …

Theses and Dissertations
Le but de cette thèse est de présenter une vue d’ensemble du Traité constitutionnel européen, et d’apporter une explication quant à son rejet par une majorité d’électeurs français lors du référendum tenu le 29 mai 2005. Dans un premier temps, nous présenterons les fondements et principes de cette constitution, mais aussi certaines idées faisant débat au sein de l’Union européenne afin d’en comprendre les enjeux. Ensuite, nous considérerons des points de vue partagés ou divergents parmi les partis et les politiciens qui ont appelé à voter NON parmi la gauche, l’extrême gauche, la droite et l’extrême droite. Enfin, nous tâcherons …

This report is the first part of a two part study on the functioning of the constitutional and legal redress mechanism for the protection of the most basic of rights, the right to life and liberty, during the period of insurgency in Kashmir: 1990 to 2003. The report is pivoted around a study of petitions for a writ of habeas corpus, filed by the families of the affected persons. All these persons were subjected to illegal arrest (and unacknowledged) arrest and detention by the security forces in Kashmir. Most of them were never seen again. For comparison, we have also …

A Copyright Conundrum: Protecting Email Privacy, Ned Snow
A Copyright Conundrum: Protecting Email Privacy, Ned Snow
Faculty Publications
The practice of email forwarding deprives email senders of privacy. Expression meant for only a specific recipient often finds its way into myriad inboxes or onto a public website, exposed for all to see. Simply by clicking the "forward" button, email recipients routinely strip email senders of expressive privacy. The common law condemns such conduct. Beginning over two-hundred-fifty years ago, courts recognized that authors of personal correspondence hold property rights in their expression. Under common-law copyright, authors held a right to control whether their correspondence was published to third parties. This common-law protection of private expression was nearly absolute, immune …

Love V. Virginia: The Constitutionality Of The Marshall/Newman Amendment, Pavitra Mohan Ram
Love V. Virginia: The Constitutionality Of The Marshall/Newman Amendment, Pavitra Mohan Ram
ExpressO
My comment explores the constitutionality of a recent amendment in Virginia, the Marshall/Newman Amendment, which bans gay marriage and civil unions between unmarried people, and precludes Virginia from recognizing such arrangements formed in other states. The analysis is particularly timely, because even though the Democrats have regained a majority in Congress, and a traditionally Republican Virginian constituency just elected a Democratic senator, a majority of Virginians adopted this Amendment, indicating conservative values still reign.
The comment argues that the Amendment is demonstrably inconsistent with the mandates of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. The first provision seeks to ban …

The Takings Clause, Version 2005: The Legal Process Of Constitutional Property Rights, Mark Fenster
UF Law Faculty Publications
The search for coherence in takings jurisprudence has resulted in a multitude of theories but no consensus. Each theory -- whether based on conceptions of common law property rights or constitutional conceptions of justice, or based on utility, natural law, or communitarian or republican conceptions of the good --offers significant insight into the vexing legal, political, and normative issues that judicial enforcement of the Takings Clause raises. But no single theory of property or of constitutional limits on state regulation and expropriation has proven capable either of satisfactorily rationalizing existing takings law or of persuading the courts or the theory's …
