Constitutional Law - Colacurcio V. City Of Kent, Zachary J. Dalton
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Colacurcio v. City of Kent, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the City of Kent's Ordinance 3221, which required nude dancers to perform at least ten feet from patrons, did not violate the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The court found that, as a matter of law, the Kent ordinance was content-neutral and the ten-foot distance requirement was narrowly tailored and left open ample alternative avenues for communication of protected expression.

The Legitimacy Of The Juridical: Constituent Power, Democracy, And The Limits Of Constitutional Reform, Joel Colon-Rios
The Legitimacy Of The Juridical: Constituent Power, Democracy, And The Limits Of Constitutional Reform, Joel Colon-Rios
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article asks and answers the question of what conditions must be met for a constitutional regime to enjoy democratic legitimacy. It argues that the democratic legitimacy of a constitutional regime depends on its susceptibility to democratic re-constitution. In other words, it argues that a constitution must provide an opening, a means of egress for constituent power to manifest from time to time. In developing this argument, the article advances a distinction between ordinary constitutional reform -- understood as subject to certain limits -- and the exercise of constituent power through which a society produces novel juridical forms without being …

One New President, One New Patriarch, And A Generous Disregard For The Constitution:, Robert C. Blitt
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The government of Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC)--the country's predominant religious group--recently underwent back-to-back changes in each institution's respective leadership. This coincidence of timing affords a unique opportunity to reassess the status of constitutional secularism and church-state relations in the Russian Federation. Following a discussion of the presidential and patriarchal elections that occurred between March 2008 and January 2009, the Article surveys recent developments in Russia as they relate to the nation's constitutional obligations. In the face of this analysis, the Article argues that the government and the ROC alike continue to willfully undermine the constitutional principles of …

Deconstructing Transnationalism: Conceptualizing Metanationalism As A Putative Model Of Evolving Jurisprudence, Paul Enriquez
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article builds upon Philip C. Jessup's revolutionary scholarship to pave new pathways for interdisciplinary research and expand the normative constitutional framework of universal human problems. To that end, this Article ties American constitutional theory to the new era of international globalization and provides context that facilitates the discussion of racial and ethnic diversity in education from a domestic and international perspective. By arguing for compelling treatment of diversity in elementary and secondary learning institutions, this Article introduces a new theory of constitutional interpretation vis-&-vis international law. This theory, called metanationalism, rejects Harold Koh's theory of transnationalism and demonstrates that …
