The Vote Is Precious, Melissa A. Logan
The Vote Is Precious, Melissa A. Logan
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
This Note traces the history of the voter suppression in the United States, connecting present-day efforts to restrict access to the polls to harmful practices of the past. After demonstrating that the United States has never truly fulfilled the promise of the Fifteenth Amendment—that no citizen shall be denied the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude—I argue that the federal government must take steps to protect voters from racial discrimination. I propose that Congress can use the power bestowed to it under the Elections Clause to regulate the time, place, and manner of elections …
Drawing The Line For Democratic Choice: How The Petition Clause Can Restore A Citizen’S Right To Participate In Commission-Driven Redistricting, Mateo Forero
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
In this Article, I argue that commission-driven redistricting (and the “apolitical” process enshrined therein) frustrates a citizen’s right to meaningfully participate in electoral design. This right is fundamental, and has long been safeguarded by the First Amendment’s assertion that “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging . . . the right of the people . . . to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Accordingly, I propose that courts use the Petition Clause as a constitutional remedy against rules that abridge substantive public input in commission-driven redistricting. To illustrate this claim, I analyze how one commonly …

Inefficient Inequality, Shi-Ling Hsu
Inefficient Inequality, Shi-Ling Hsu
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
For the past several decades, much American lawmaking has been animated by a concern for economic efficiency. At the same time, broad concerns over wealth and income inequality have roiled American politics, and still loom over lawmakers. It can be reasonably argued that a tension exists between efficiency and equality, but that argument has had too much purchase over the past few decades of lawmaking. What has been overlooked is that inequality itself can be allocatively inefficient when it gives rise to collectively inefficient behavior. Worse still, some lawmaking only masquerades as being efficiency-promoting; upon closer inspection, some of this …

Sequela: Casey, Gonzales, And State Legislatures' Unscrupulous Use Of Science In Crafting Legislation To Regulate Pregnant Women And Women's Access To Reproductive Health, Samantha Von Ende
Sequela: Casey, Gonzales, And State Legislatures' Unscrupulous Use Of Science In Crafting Legislation To Regulate Pregnant Women And Women's Access To Reproductive Health, Samantha Von Ende
Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality
Sparked by the unprecedented number of reproductive healthcare restrictions proposed and enacted by state governments from 2010 to 2014, this Note seeks to document the troubling trend and varying manifestations of legislation premised on unsound scientific evidence and purportedly enacted to advance states' recognized interests in protecting women's health and potential life. Such legal restrictions take many forms and are divided into four categories for the purpose of this paper: (1) Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws; (2) Fetal Protection Laws that criminalize the behavior of pregnant women; (3) Fetal Protection Laws that impose complete bans on abortion …
