Through A Prism Darkly: Surveillance And Speech Suppression In The Post-Democracy Electronic State", David Barnhizer Jan 2013

Through A Prism Darkly: Surveillance And Speech Suppression In The Post-Democracy Electronic State", David Barnhizer

David Barnhizer

Through a PRISM Darkly: Surveillance and Speech Suppression in the “Post-Democracy Electronic State” David Barnhizer There is no longer an American democracy. America is changing by the moment into a new political form, the “Post-Democracy Electronic State”. It has “morphed” into competing fragments operating within the physical territory defined as the United States while tenuously holding on to a few of the basic creeds that represent what we long considered an exceptional political experiment. That post-Democracy political order paradoxically consists of a combination of fragmented special interests eager to punish anyone that challenges their desires and a central government that …

Opening The Courthouse Doors: Allowing A Cause Of Action To Arise Directly From A Violation Of The Ohio Constitution, David M. Gareau

Cleveland State Law Review

This note will explain why Ohio's Constitution should be looked to as the source of meaningful remedy when its provisions are violated.

Constitutional Citizenship, Paul Brest Jan 1985

Constitutional Citizenship, Paul Brest

Cleveland State Law Review

Our practices for determining issues of public morality are deeply flawed. We rely too heavily on the Supreme Court of the United States to determine them for us. We give too much responsibility to the Court, and too little to other institutions; we evade our own responsibility as citizens in a democratic polity. The problem is not that too many issues are "constitutionalized," for many of our most important public moral issues are quite properly treated as constitutional questions. The problem, rather, is that we assume that only the Court is authorized to decide, or is capable of deciding, constitutional …


Executive Privilege: Rhyme Without Reason, Stephen W. Gard Jan 1974

Executive Privilege: Rhyme Without Reason, Stephen W. Gard

Stephen W. Gard

This Article will examine the validity of a presidential claim of executive privilege when exercised against a congressional inquiry by analyzing positions previously taken by proponents of executive privilege. First, the historical usage theory, often cited as a justification for the privilege, will be reevaluated, and it will be suggested that historical precedeht does not support the existence of such a theory. Second, the separation of powers justification will be undercut by close examination of the constitutional principles involved. Finally, attack will be waged on the various public policy arguments used to support the privilege.
