Seth Barrett Tillman

This article is a response to Professor Josh Chafetz's Impeachment & Assassination, 95 Minn. L. Rev. 347 (2010).

This Article is a textual exploration of the Constitution’s varying usage in regard to office and officer. The Constitution uses a variety of phrases relating to office and officer, including: (A) Officer of the United States; (B) Office under the United States; (C) Office under the Authority of the United States; and (D) Officer (unmodified). The consensus position – as put forward by Professors Akhil R. Amar and Vikram D. Amar in 1995 – is that the Constitution’s varying terminology in regard …

Opening Statement, Citizens United And The Scope Of Professor Teachout’S Anti-Corruption Principle, In Tillman & Teachout, An Exchange, Seth Barrett Tillman

Seth Barrett Tillman

This is my opening statement in a 4-part exchange between Professor Teachout and me.

But, for legal academics, perhaps, the greatest sign of scholarly achievement is judicial reliance upon our craftsmanship. By any of these measures, Professor Teachout’s 2009 Cornell Law Review publication, The Anti-Corruption Principle, is a success. One short year after publication, in 2010, Anti-Corruption Principle was relied upon by Justice Stevens in his Citizens United v. Federal Elections Committee dissent, …

Reform The Filibuster, Now!: An Open Letter To The Leaders And Members Of The 112th Senate, Seth Barrett Tillman

Seth Barrett Tillman

When the new Congress meets in January 2011, the Presidency and Vice Presidency will be controlled by Democratic incumbents and the House will be controlled by a Republican majority. As a result, were the Senate to repeal or reform the filibuster -- each party would have a significant power base -- outside of the Senate -- from which to block objectionable legislation and to protect its policy agenda and interests. This situation presents a unique opportunity to reform or repair the imbecility (as the Founders would have expressed it) of the Senate, caused by Senate Rule XXII, the Filibuster Rule. …

The Mini-Unitary Executive And The Original Public Meaning Of The Opinions-In-Writing Clause (Not Yet Drafted, Planned For 2011-2012 Publication), Seth Barrett Tillman

Seth Barrett Tillman

This is paper is part of my continuing project of discussing the under explored clauses and private law linguistic origins of the Constitution of 1787. In this paper, I argue that the Opinions-in-Writing Cause was meant to serve a concrete purpose and, contrary to Hamilton, was no mere redundancy. The Opinions-in-Writing Clause effectuated the record keeping function of the Mini-Unitary Executive.
