Longing For Loving, Katherine M. Franke
Longing For Loving, Katherine M. Franke
Faculty Scholarship
Our task in this Symposium is to place Loving v. Virginia in a contemporary context: to interpret, if not reinterpret, its meaning in light of the settings in which race, sexuality, and intimacy are being negotiated and renegotiated today. So we might ask, in what way are Mildred and Richard Loving role models for us today? How, if at all, does the legal movement for marriage equality for interracial couples help us think through our arguments and strategies as we struggle today for marriage equality for same-sex couples?
One way to frame these questions is to ask whether there is …

The relationship between lobbying and campaign finance is complex, contested, and changing.

A handful of individual states – states that have historically carried out few or no executions – probably will abolish capital punishment over the next twenty years, which will create political momentum and ultimately a federal constitutional ban on capital punishment in the United States. It is entirely reasonable to expect that, by the mid-twenty-first century, capital punishment will have the same status internationally as torture: an outlier practice, prohibited by international agreements and …

Brief Comments On An Intermediate Position, Kent Greenawalt

I am going to start with some clarifications about how I see this topic. Some of what I say may be a bit repetitive, but I think it can be helpful. I do not see this subject as mainly about the force of the Establishment Clause. With Judge McConnell, I think there is a big difference between promoting a religious position, let's say, which I think teaching creationism is, and deciding some moral or political issue based on a religious judgment, such as whether there should be restrictive abortion law. And I do not think this is a question of …
