The Vote On Bilingual Education And Latino Identity In Massachusetts, Jorge Capetillo-Ponce
The Vote On Bilingual Education And Latino Identity In Massachusetts, Jorge Capetillo-Ponce
Gastón Institute Publications
In November 2002, the Massachusetts electorate voted overwhelmingly to pass Referendum Ballot Question 2 (Q. 2), sponsored by California millionaire Ron Unz. The passage of this initiative by close to 70% of the voters effectively ended bilingual education in the state as it had been known for thirty years. Exit polling done at selected cities in Massachusetts by the Mauricio Gaston Institute and UMass Poll revealed, however, that out of a total 1,491 Latinos polled, a vast majority of them, around 93%, had voted in favor of rejecting Q. 2 and keeping bilingual education in place.
Indeed, Q. 2 became …
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 …

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, …
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 …

Invisible Foundations: Science, Democracy, And Faith Among The Pragmatists, Patrick J. Deneen
Invisible Foundations: Science, Democracy, And Faith Among The Pragmatists, Patrick J. Deneen
Pragmatism, Law and Governmentality
Today science is almost universally regarded as an ally of democracy. Religion - once viewed by Tocqueville as the great support of democratic mores, in contrast to the materialism of then-contemporary atheists who threatened to undermine democratic commitments - is now viewed by many as antithetical to the openness and provisionality that marks both science and democracy. As framed by the neo-pragmatist Richard Rorty, religion is a "conversation-stopper," the very definition of anti-democratic, anti-scientific anti-pragmatism.
Whereas a pragmatic form of faith, notably "democratic faith," secures belief in an ever improving future, the "politics of skepticism" is reinforced by the initial …
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 …

The Internet And The Persistence Of Law, Justin Hughes
The Internet And The Persistence Of Law, Justin Hughes
Articles
Since legal commentators first confronted cyberspace, three broad stories have emerged to describe the interrelation of law and the Internet: the "no-law Internet," the "Internet as a separate jurisdiction," and Internet law as "translation" of familiar legal concepts. This Article reviews these stories, focusing on how ongoing "translation" is giving way to a growing convergence in Internet law. The Article makes the case for convergence among legal responses to cyberspace and proposes a basic taxonomy for different models of convergence. With this taxonomy, the Article examines the ways in which convergence is occurring, as well as its effects on both …

The Immigration Paradox: Poverty, Distributive Justice, And Liberal Egalitarianism, Howard F. Chang
The Immigration Paradox: Poverty, Distributive Justice, And Liberal Egalitarianism, Howard F. Chang
All Faculty Scholarship
The immigration of unskilled workers poses a fundamental problem for liberals. While from the perspective of the economic welfare of natives, the optimal policy would be to admit these aliens as guest workers, this policy would violate liberal egalitarian ideals. These ideals would treat these resident workers as equals, entitled to access to citizenship and to the full set of public benefits provided to citizens. If the welfare of all incumbent residents determines admissions policies, however, and we anticipate the fiscal burden that the immigration of the poor would impose, then our welfare criterion would preclude the admission of unskilled …

Not Mere Rhetoric: On Wasting Or Claiming Your Legacy, Justice Scalia, Marie Failinger
Not Mere Rhetoric: On Wasting Or Claiming Your Legacy, Justice Scalia, Marie Failinger
Faculty Scholarship
The thesis of the article is that the Court’s enterprise is centered on preserving community through an ethics of warranted trust, and that Scalia’s rhetoric often rejects such an ethic. A modern democratic citizen, along with his whole community, instead finds himself in the situation of necessary trust in democratic institutions like the Supreme Court. The willingness of a political community ultimately to place its trust in authority is partially dependent on that authority’s commitment to, and skill at, creating a convincing argument. The practice of rhetoric recognizes the dynamics of a relation of trust: the rhetor must put his …

The Secession Reference And The Limits Of Law, Richard Kay
Faculty Articles and Papers
When the Supreme Court of Canada issued its judgment on the legality of unilateral Quebec secession in August 1998 many Canadians did not know what to make of it. The Court held that the only lawful way in which Quebec might depart the Canadian federation was through one of the amendment mechanisms provided in the Constitution Act 1982. It thus affirmed that Quebec could not secede without the agreement of at least the Houses of the federal Parliament and some number of provincial legislative assemblies. Prime Minister Chretien declared the next day that the judgement was a victory for all …

Science, Identity, And The Construction Of The Gay Political Narrative, Nancy J. Knauer
Science, Identity, And The Construction Of The Gay Political Narrative, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
This Article contends that the current debate over gay civil rights is, at base, a dispute over the nature of same-sex desire. Pro-gay forces advocate an ethnic or identity model of homosexuality based on the conviction that sexual orientation is an immutable, unchosen, and benign characteristic. The assertion that, in essence, gays are "born that way," has produced a gay political narrative that rests on claims of shared identity (i.e., homosexuals are a blameless minority) and arguments of equivalence (i.e., as a blameless minority, homosexuals deserve equal treatment and protection against discrimination). The pro-family counter-narrative is based on a behavioral …

Erlandson V. Kiffmeyer: Minnesota’S Absentee Voting Laws Following The Sudden Death Of Incumbent Candidate Paul Wellstone, Elizabeth M. Brama
William Mitchell Law Review
This article addresses the legal and practical effects of Senator Wellstone's death and the court's absentee ballot decision in Erlandson v. Kiffmeyer. Part II discusses other, surprisingly common, instances when a candidate has died or withdrawn close to an election, and examines Minnesota's approach to pre-election vacancies. Part III explores the Erlandson decision and the facts giving rise to it. Part IV then analyzes the court's decision and the legislature's reaction to it. Finally, Part V concludes that if the state has an acknowledged goal of enfranchising absentee voters even after an unexpected, catastrophic event, then state law must be …

Nigeria's Crisis Of Corruption--Can The U.N. Global Programme Hope To Resolve This Dilemma?, Nicholas A. Goodling
Nigeria's Crisis Of Corruption--Can The U.N. Global Programme Hope To Resolve This Dilemma?, Nicholas A. Goodling
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Transparency International consistently rates the levels of corruption in Nigeria among the highest in the world. Pervasive corruption appears to permeate many levels of Nigerian society. The current Nigerian government, however, has taken great steps to combat this problem through cooperation with the U.N. Global Programme.
This Note examines the structure and goals of the Global Programme and evaluates Nigeria's participation in the project. Part I provides a background analysis of corruption, the effects of corruption, and Nigeria's efforts to curb corruption. Part III analyzes the basic structure of the Programme, while Part IV outlines Nigeria's efforts pursuant to the …
