Holdings, Dicta, And The Paradigms Of Precedent, Randy J. Kozel

Randy J Kozel

In United States v. Windsor, the Supreme Court invalidated a key provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. In doing so, it raised significant questions about the power of states to limit the institution of marriage to opposite-sex couples. That issue was not presented in Windsor itself, but Windsor’s reasoning and rhetoric have already begun to play a pivotal role in ensuing challenges to state laws. Determining the future effects of Windsor, or of any other Supreme Court decision, requires defining the scope of judicial precedent. One account of precedent is restrictive: Only a court’s holdings must …

Health Care Reform: Law And Practice, Mary Ann Chirba, Alice Noble, Michael Maddigan

Mary Ann Chirba

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and commonly referred to as "Obamacare" or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), into law. With the passage of the ACA, Congress put an end to the century-long quest to secure coverage for all Americans facing steadily rising costs for increasingly sophisticated health care. In closing the book on that struggle, however, the law opened another. Health Care Reform: Law and Practice is designed to assist health care and legal professionals who need to understand what the law says, how it works, and …

Led Blindly: One Circuit's Struggle To Faithfully Apply The U.S. Supreme Court's Religious Symbols Constitutional Analysis, William Janssen

William M. Janssen

The United States Supreme Court is a teaching court. Its primary role, once explained Justice O’Connor, “is to guide and shape the development of federal law generally, so as to enable lower courts to perform their responsibilities more effectively and fairly.” Yet, in few areas has the Court done as poor a teaching job as it has in its Establishment Clause jurisprudence. Venturing into that collected body of law, one judge bemoaned, is entering “Establishment Clause purgatory.” This article explores the Supreme Court’s religious symbol jurisprudence (namely, displays of Ten Commandments, crèches, menorahs, Latin crosses, religious inscriptions, and the like), …

Brandishing The First Amendment: Commercial Expression In America, Tamara Piety

Tamara R. Piety

Over the past two decades, corporations and other commercial entities have used strategic litigation to win more expansive First Amendment protections for commercial speech—from the regulation of advertising to the role corporate interests play in the political process, most recently debated in the Supreme Court case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Tamara R. Piety, a nationally known critic of commercial and corporate speech, argues that such an expansion of First Amendment speech rights imperils public health, safety, and welfare; the reliability of commercial and consumer information; the stability of financial markets; and the global environment. Prof. Piety appeared …
