Through The Looking Glass Of Teaching: The Death Penalty And The Political Culture Of Detached Passions, Adelaide H. Villmoare
Through The Looking Glass Of Teaching: The Death Penalty And The Political Culture Of Detached Passions, Adelaide H. Villmoare
Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest
Today, despite daily struggles in courtrooms against capital punishment, there appears little legal room to challenge the death penalty. Most constitutional questions appear "settled. Given the present composition of the Supreme Court, there is scant expectation of any major reversals. Also, the Court's future is to be decided by a President who was governor of a state that has executed more people since 1976 than any other state in the nation. While abolitionist scholars and activists continue to raise constitutional issues, the most dramatic events challenging the death penalty have occurred in the larger political arena outside the courtroom.

A Dynamic, New Age Of Political Participation, James S. Gilmore Iii

For Virginians, the new millennium marked more than the passage of a symbolic moment in time. We wrote history, dawning a dynamic, new age of political freedom and progress in the Commonwealth.
Enclave Districting, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Enclave Districting, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Law Faculty Publications
Congressional districting has historically fostered single-member, geographically compact districts consisting of contiguous territory and has resulted in common representation for those who live near each other. Underlying compact districting is the assumption that people living relatively close together share political interests that can be adequately served by common representation. When the United States was a sparsely populated agrarian nation and only the propertied were the enfranchised, providing common representation based on residential proximity was sensible. Over time, however, the connection between residence and political interests has diminished. In the wake of the Supreme Court's suggestion that representation should focus on …
A Grand Notion For Power-Center Lawyers, Porcher L. Taylor Iii
A Grand Notion For Power-Center Lawyers, Porcher L. Taylor Iii
School of Professional and Continuing Studies Faculty Publications
Like leaders of so many administrations before them, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, both lawyers, surrounded themselves with an inner circle composed mainly of lawyers-turned-political advisers and policy bureaucrats.
Some would argue that lawyers and politics are a bad brew. But lawyers trust lawyers so much that some will steadfastly defend their political bosses, even if that means being key players in the potential cover-up of a crime. In their skewed minds, accusations of crimes by leaders of the opposing political party are merely biased power politics.
A Matter Of Power: Structural Federalism And Separation Doctrine In The Present, Frances Howell Rudko
A Matter Of Power: Structural Federalism And Separation Doctrine In The Present, Frances Howell Rudko
University of Richmond Law Review
Public reaction to the 1823 Supreme Court decision in Green v. Biddle prompted John Marshall's letter to Henry Clay, who had argued the case as amicus curiae for the defendant. The letter is significant because Marshall, who had been a legislator himself, candidly expresses not only his personal dissatisfaction with the congressional assault on the 1823 decision but also the constitutional basis for his opinion. The significance of Marshall's extrajudicial opinion becomes more apparent when it is considered in the aftermath of the recent tug-of-war between Congress and the Court which culminated in the decision in City of Boerne v. …

Separation Of Powers And The 1995-1996 Budget Impasse, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Separation Of Powers And The 1995-1996 Budget Impasse, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Law Faculty Publications
Separation of powers doctrine will have implications for any budget regime which contemplates explicit power sharing. This Article examines the possible separation of power pitfalls which threaten to undermine the emergence of a relatively healthy new budget regime and the creative mechanisms necessary to make that regime work. The Constitution does not provide many explicit instructions regarding the federal budgeting process. Thus, whether a particular budget arrangement is a good one requires a largely political analysis. Whether a particular budget arrangement is constitutional must be answered by the Supreme Court. On what basis the Court should make such a decision, …
The Democratic Entitlement, Thomas M. Franck
The Democratic Entitlement, Thomas M. Franck
University of Richmond Law Review
Elsewhere, writing in January, 1992, I indicated my belief that we are witnessing "the emergence of a community expectation: that those who seek the validation of their empowerment" must "patently govern with the consent of the governed. Democracy, thus, is on the way to becoming a global entitlement, one that increasingly will be promoted and protected by collective international processes.."
The Paradox Of United State Democracy, C. A. Gearty
The Paradox Of United State Democracy, C. A. Gearty
University of Richmond Law Review
This program is about a paradox at the heart of American democracy. We take it for granted that elected officials, like President Bush and members of Congress, run America. In fact, many of the country's most important decisions are taken by nine unelected lawyers accountable to no one. It is a paradox which is increasingly under scrutiny as more and more Americans are coming to question the power of their Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court As A Political Institution, Benjamin L. Hooks
The Supreme Court As A Political Institution, Benjamin L. Hooks
University of Richmond Law Review
The august Supreme Court of the United States is a political institution and has been virtually from the beginning. That today's Court finds itself at the center of intense ideological and political debate should surprise few serious students of American political and constitutional history.
