Term Limits And Electoral Competitiveness: California's State Legislative Races, John Lott, Kermit Daniel
Term Limits And Electoral Competitiveness: California's State Legislative Races, John Lott, Kermit Daniel
Coase-Sandor Working Paper Series in Law and Economics
California’s legislative term limits have dramatically reduced campaign expenditures. Real expenditures during the three general elections after the term limits initiative passed in 1990 were lower than in even 1976. This drop has occurred at the same time that races have become closer contests and more candidates are running for office. By any measure, term limits have coincided with large changes in the level of political competition, even before term limits have forcibly removed a single politician from office. The changes are so large that more incumbents are being defeated, races are closer, more candidates are running, and fewer single …

The Problematics Of Moral And Legal Theory, Richard A. Posner
The Problematics Of Moral And Legal Theory, Richard A. Posner
Articles
In these Holmes Lectures, delivered a century after the publication of Oliver Wendell Holmes's great essay The Path of the Law, Judge Posner argues for an essentially Holmesian conception of the proper relations among modern normative moral philosophy ("academic moralism"), morality, and law. Academic moralism, he argues, lacks either the intellectual cogency or the emotional power to change people's beliefs or behavior; the power to do so resides in "moral entrepreneurs," which academic moralists emphatically are not. Academic moralism's lack of cogency disqualifies it to guide judicial decisionmaking even - in fact, especially - in cases involving controversial moral issues, …

Is Tobacco A Drug? - Administrative Agencies As Common Law Courts Regulations, Cass R. Sunstein
Is Tobacco A Drug? - Administrative Agencies As Common Law Courts Regulations, Cass R. Sunstein
Articles
Professor Cass Sunstein argues that the FDA has the authority to regulate tobacco products. He considers the text of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which supports the FDA assertion, and the context of its enactment, which argues against the FDA. He resolves the tension between text and context in favor of FDA jurisdiction by turning to the emerging role of administrative agencies. In modem government, he contends, administrative agencies have become America's common law courts, with the power to adapt statutory regimes to new facts and new values when the underlying statute is ambiguous. Professor Sunstein's Article, like …
