Clash Of The First And Second Amendments: Proposed Regulation Of Armed Protests, Katlyn E. Deboer Jan 2018

Clash Of The First And Second Amendments: Proposed Regulation Of Armed Protests, Katlyn E. Deboer

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The United States has strayed far from its traditional use of citizen militias to demand freedom from the British and has taken a deep dive into a practice of flaunting weapons at political protests as a display of bravado to provoke fear, chill opposition, and reap media attention. The recent "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and its resulting violent pandemonium brought the issue of open carry protests to the forefront of public discourse. Armed protesters cling to their First and Second Amendment rights as shields to justify the semiautomatic firearms slung about their backs, but is this faith …


Hating Hate Speech: Why Current First Amendment Doctrine Does Not Condemn A Careful Ban, Rory K. Little Jan 2018

Hating Hate Speech: Why Current First Amendment Doctrine Does Not Condemn A Careful Ban, Rory K. Little

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In the wake of the 2017 Charlottesville protests and the recent revival of "white supremacy" rallies, some constitutional scholars have asserted once again that a "hate speech ban" is unconstitutional under the First Amendment. There are certainly strong policy and historical arguments to oppose such a ban, although the Supreme Court upheld such a ban in 1942 and has never overruled that precedent. The doctrinal objection to such a ban is based on a restrictive adoption of Brandenburg v. Ohio, and a failure to fully explicate the alternative ground for prohibition found in the Supreme Court's repeated definition of "fighting …


Proceed With Caution: Hate Speech Regulation In Japan, Junko Kotani Jan 2018

Proceed With Caution: Hate Speech Regulation In Japan, Junko Kotani

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The Diet of Japan enacted the Hate Speech Elimination Act in 2016 amid heated debates over the appropriate role that the government should play in confronting the vulgar racist hate speech that had been permeating the country. The Act, however, does not criminalize or make illegal hate speech and is thus criticized by Professor Craig Martin. This Article argues that while the principles of freedom of speech under the Constitution of Japan may tolerate criminalization of narrowly defined hate speech, one should be cautious in advocating for immediate criminalization of racist hate speech in the country. This Article provides an …

How The Lone Star State's Refusal To Expand Medicaid Is Leaving Pregnant Women More Alone Than Ever, Naomi Strauss Jan 2018

How The Lone Star State's Refusal To Expand Medicaid Is Leaving Pregnant Women More Alone Than Ever, Naomi Strauss

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Texas's maternal mortality rates are alarmingly high, reflecting a larger trend across the United States. By analyzing structural and social factors, this Note suggests that increasingly restrictive access to family planning and women's health clinics across Texas has contributed to this public health crisis. Further complicating matters, the limited availability of quality maternal health data makes it hard to disentangle causes and effects. In order to correct this disturbing trend which stands in stark contrast to the rest of the developed world-states should expand Medicaid coverage and access to services for all. California, for example, has implemented programs, which have …

Sanctuary Networks As Integrative Enforcement, Ming Hsu Chen Jan 2018

Sanctuary Networks As Integrative Enforcement, Ming Hsu Chen

Faculty Scholarship

intended focus is on the widespread response—in cities, churches, campuses, and corporations that together comprise “sanctuary networks”1—to the Trump Administration’s Executive Order 13768 Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States2 as an instance of the changing relationship between federal, local, and private organizations in the regulation of immigration. After briefly covering the legal background of the Trump Interior E.O., the focus of the Article shifts to the institutional dynamics arising in communities. These institutional dynamics exemplify the beginnings of a reimagi cement policy with a more integrative flavor.


Leveraging Social Science Expertise In Immigration Policy, Ming Hsu Chen Jan 2018

Leveraging Social Science Expertise In Immigration Policy, Ming Hsu Chen

Faculty Scholarship

The longstanding uncertainty about how policymakers should grapple with social science demonstrating racism persists in the modern administrative state. This Essay examines the uses and misuses of social science and expertise in immigration policymaking. More specifically, it highlights three immigration policies that dismiss social scientific findings and expertise as part of presidential and agency decision- making: border control, crime control, and extreme vetting of refugees to prevent terrorism. The Essay claims that these rejections of expertise undermine both substantive and procedural protections for immigrants and undermine important functions of the administrative state as a curb on irrationality in policymaking. It …

What Prohibition Teaches About Guns And Abortion: How Alcohol Can Save Individual Rights, Jesse D.H. Snyder Jul 2017

What Prohibition Teaches About Guns And Abortion: How Alcohol Can Save Individual Rights, Jesse D.H. Snyder

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The Supreme Court has made numerous decisions regarding the constitutionality of abortion and gun ownership. Both highly cherished individual rights are systematically and consistently litigated. This article will explore how the documented history of Prohibition can be used to save both abortion and gun rights by examining how individual rights impact society as a whole. In addition, this article will examine the impact a oncerecognized right has when it is no longer in place. Prohibition can be used as a mechanism to ensure ongoing protections of these cherished individual rights.

Background Checks And Employment Discrimination: Distant Parallels Between U.S. And Eu Privacy Regimes, Eugene Frid Jan 2017

Background Checks And Employment Discrimination: Distant Parallels Between U.S. And Eu Privacy Regimes, Eugene Frid

UC Law SF International Law Review

In 2012, Halstead Management Company offered Kevin A. Jones a job as a doorman in New York City. After the company requested a criminal background check on Mr. Jones, his offer was rescinded. Although Mr. Jones had no criminal record, Sterling Infosystems, the large company tasked with doing the background check, mixed up his information with the information of Kevin M. Jones, a different man with at least three criminal convictions.


Legal Censure Of Unconventional Expressions Of Love And Sexuality; Finding A Place In The Law For Bdsm, Anne Onoma Jan 2017

Legal Censure Of Unconventional Expressions Of Love And Sexuality; Finding A Place In The Law For Bdsm, Anne Onoma

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The laws against assault and battery do not provide an exception for consensual BDSM. Consequently, a BDSM practitioner may be charged with criminally assaulting or battering a sexual partner despite having engaged in an activity that was completely consensual and not harmful in any meaningful way. Consent is the legal difference between sex and rape, and so consent should also be the difference between BDSM and criminal assault or battery. However, courts remain unwilling to even consider a defense of consent in assault and battery cases that include alleged BDSM activities. This note will explore the multiple ways in which …


Johnson V. United States: The Impact On Texas' Habitual Offender Statute, Emily Frances Lynch Jan 2017

Johnson V. United States: The Impact On Texas' Habitual Offender Statute, Emily Frances Lynch

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In 2015, the Supreme Court struck down the residual clause of a major federal "habitual offender" statute in Johnson v. United States. The Court determined that combining the ambiguously worded "residual clause" with a pure "categorical approach" for interpreting qualifying crimes violated the notice provision of the Due Process Clause. Additionally, the Court identified an inability to create a clear and consistent standard of application for applying the residual clause as a second independent ground for holding the residual clause unconstitutional. Although the Court's holding specifically applied to a federal sentencing enhancement scheme, the holding is undoubtedly applicable to state …


Trumping Asylum: Criminal Prosecutors For Illegal Entry And Reentry Violate The Rights Of Asylum Seekers, Natasha Arnpriester Jan 2017

Trumping Asylum: Criminal Prosecutors For Illegal Entry And Reentry Violate The Rights Of Asylum Seekers, Natasha Arnpriester

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Criminal prosecution for the immigration-related infractions of illegal entry and illegal reentry have escalated dramatically under the Trump Administration, which has made targeting immigrants a top priority. This escalation is happening at a time when the population coming to the U.S. southern border is largely seeking safety from persecution and danger. The United States does not recognize asylum as a defense to illegal entry or illegal reentry, and asylum seekers are not excluded from being charged and criminally prosecuted for these infractions, despite U.S. treaty obligations prohibiting this practice. As a result, people coming to the United States to seek …


The Fragile Victory For Unaccompanied Children's Due Process Rights After Flores V. Sessions, Elizabeth P. Lincoln Jan 2017

The Fragile Victory For Unaccompanied Children's Due Process Rights After Flores V. Sessions, Elizabeth P. Lincoln

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In 2017, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found that when the federal government detains an unaccompanied child, that child has the right to request legal review of his or her custody before an immigration judge. In Flores v. Sessions, the court reaffirmed the right, which had been present in the text of the laws governing the treatment of immigrant youth, but had been ignored by executive branch bodies. In its analysis, the court considered the relationship between a twenty-year-old settlement and two acts of Congress that govern the treatment of immigrant youth. The Flores decision affects the lives of …
