Say Cheese: The Constitutionality Of State-Mandated Airtime On Public Broadcasting Stations In Wisconsin, Andrew D. Cotlar
Say Cheese: The Constitutionality Of State-Mandated Airtime On Public Broadcasting Stations In Wisconsin, Andrew D. Cotlar
Federal Communications Law Journal
Last year, the State of Wisconsin passed legislation which would require statechartered public broadcasting television networks to carry political advertising for candidates free of charge. In this article, Andrew Cotlar raises many concerns about the wisdom of such legislation and the impact this trend may have on public broadcasters throughout the nation. The author begins by analyzing the current position of the law on political access requirements, at both federal and state levels, and then argues that the public television stations should continue to be free to exercise substantial editorial discretion. The Article proceeds to critique the Wisconsin statute as …

Executing The Laws Or Executing An Agenda: Usurpation Of Statutory And Constitutional Rights By The Department Of Justice, Christopher C. Sabis
Executing The Laws Or Executing An Agenda: Usurpation Of Statutory And Constitutional Rights By The Department Of Justice, Christopher C. Sabis
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The Department ofJustice (DOJ) can compel individuals and entities to sacrifice their constitutional or statutory rights. The DOJ can do so through brute political force, settlements and consent decrees, selective statutory enforcement, and prosecutions that coerce future actors not to pursue goals contrary to the policy desires of the executive branch. The current regime provides few constraints on the DOJ's ability to abuse its legal authority to achieve political objectives. This unbridled power jeopardizes the rights of both opposing and third parties.
This Note examines, in a bipartisan manner, the methods the Justice Department employs that deprive opponents or third …

Barriers To Participation, Trevor Potter, Marianne H. Viray
Barriers To Participation, Trevor Potter, Marianne H. Viray
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Despite the nation's founding commitment to participatory democracy, many barriers to candidate and public participation in the electoral process are damaging the public's confidence that our elections are fair and open to full participation by candidates and voters.
The nominating processes created by the two major parties mainly serve the goals of party "insiders" and the more politically extreme factions, at the expense of competition and public confidence in the two-party system. At the same time, barriers to minor party and independent candidates-closed primaries, excessive early-voter registration requirements and complicated state primary and general ballot access requirements-operate to foreclose the …

Keeping Up With The Neighbours: Canadian Responses To 9/11 In Historical And Comparative Context, Reg Whitaker
Keeping Up With The Neighbours: Canadian Responses To 9/11 In Historical And Comparative Context, Reg Whitaker
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The impact of 9/11 on Canada is assessed in historical context, in relation to the coming of the Cold War in the 1940s and the October 1970 Le Front de Liberation du Quebec terrorist crisis in Quebec. Canadian policy responses to 9/11 are then considered in the comparative context of responses from Canada's closest neighbours, the United States and the United Kingdom. Although to some degree, Canada can be seen to be trying to 'keep up with the neighbours', Canadian responses are more determined by specifically Canadian requirements, especially the need to protect Canadian sovereignty and economic security from the …
Civil Resistance And The Diversity Of Tactics In The Anti-Globalization Movement: Problems Of Violence, Silence, And Solidarity In Activist Politics, Janet Conway
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article examines the (re)emergence of large-scale civil disobedience and the accompanying debates about violence and non-violence in the contemporary anti-globalization movement. Rooted in the Canadian movement but in conversation with wider debates, the article tracks movement practices and debates from the Battle of Seattle through to the Quebec Summit. The debate took a new turn in Genoa, with massive police brutality and the killing of a protester, and again following the events of September 11, 2001. The central argument of the article is that the new forms of civil resistance embody a critique of prevailing forms of organization, participation, …
Popular Rogues: Citizen Opinion About Political Corruption, Darrell M. West, Katherine Stewart
Popular Rogues: Citizen Opinion About Political Corruption, Darrell M. West, Katherine Stewart
New England Journal of Public Policy
Trust in the honesty of public officials is a crucial condition for stable democratic systems. Yet despite the presumed centrality of honesty in government, there has been a long tradition of “popular rogues” who are considered dishonest and corrupt, but retain popularity for their strong and effective leadership. In this paper, we look at the phenomenon of popular rogues using the case of the former Mayor Buddy Cianci of Providence, Rhode Island. With data from two statewide Rhode Island opinion surveys (one before the trial and the other at its end), we present a “teeter-totter” model of public opinion whereby …
