The Cable-Telco Cross-Ownership Prohibition: First Amendment Infringement Through Obsolescence, Michael G. Oxley
The Cable-Telco Cross-Ownership Prohibition: First Amendment Infringement Through Obsolescence, Michael G. Oxley
Federal Communications Law Journal
Since 1970, the FCC has prohibited all telephone companies from providing video programming in their local service areas. The primary rationale behind this prohibition was to promote the cable industry. Since 1984, however, the cable industry has seen tremendous growth with very little competition. New technology and market demands have now necessitated a reevaluation of the ban on cable-telco cross-ownership. The Author argues that with the changes that have occurred in the marketplace, the ban is now both an invalid prior restraint and an infringement on commercial expression and thus a violation of the First Amendment rights of telephone companies. …
The Cable Act And Municipal Ownership: A Growing First Amendment Confrontation, Carl R. Ramey
The Cable Act And Municipal Ownership: A Growing First Amendment Confrontation, Carl R. Ramey
Federal Communications Law Journal
In many communities across the nation cable subscribers depend on government-owned cable television systems for their communication services. This phenomenon may have started out to be fairly insignificant, but as a result of the cable explosion, government ownership of cable systems presents a threat to free expression. Governmental overbuilding and direct competition with private cable service providers have been the subject of unsuccessful First Amendment challenges. The threat of government control of cable systems, though, is potentially dramatic and poses serious First Amendment questions. The Author concludes that private ownership should be encouraged, and public ownership should only be allowed …

The Television Violence Act Of 1990: A New Program For Government Censorship?, Julia W. Schlegel
Federal Communications Law Journal
The Television Violence Act of 1990 is designed to encourage the networks, the cable industry, and independent stations to reduce the amount of violence currently shown on television. To accomplish this goal, the Act grants a three-year antitrust exemption to the television industry so that it may meet and develop joint standards aimed at reducing the amount of violence currently shown on television. The Act's sponsor, Senator Paul Simon, emphasized that the Act simply encouraged the broadcast industry to set standards; it did not require them to do so. However, in December 1992, when the television industry had still not …

Duke V. Cleland: The Eleventh Circuit Neglects The First Amendment Rights Of Political Parties And Allows States To Limit Ballot Access Of Presidential Primary Candidates, Steven A. Kirsch
Vanderbilt Law Review
Notwithstanding H. Ross Perot's strong third place finish in the 1992 Presidential election,' history suggests a successful presidential candidate must be a member of one of the two major political parties to win. As a result, many candidates compete for each major party's nomination. Moreover, the leaders of state Democratic and Republican parties that hold presidential primaries often have attempted to remove the lesser-known, and sometimes politically unpopular, candidates from the ballot. One argument advanced by state party leaders in support of their attempts to prevent some candidates from appearing on the ballot is that the political party has a …

Contexts Of The Political Role Of Religion: Civil Society And Culture, David Hollenbach S.J.
Contexts Of The Political Role Of Religion: Civil Society And Culture, David Hollenbach S.J.
San Diego Law Review
This Article argues that we need to frame the question of the relation of religion to public life in a way that goes beyond discussion of the direct impact of religious convictions on policy choices. The Article considers religion's public influences, such as its influence on the multiple communities and institutions of civil society and on the public self-understanding of a society called culture. In considering these influences, the author offers a new perspective on the role of religious belief in the decisions of those who draft legislation, reach judicial decisions, administer the domestic and foreign affairs of the nation, …

Braun V. Soldier Of Fortune: Tort Law Enters The Braun's Age As Constitutional Safeguards For Commercial Speech Buckle 'Neath The Crunch Of Third-Party Liability, Timothy J. Tatro
San Diego Law Review
Advertising is more than just a substantial source of revenue for publications. This author contends that advertising embodies the liberties of free speech and free press secured to all of us so fundamentally by the First Amendment. This Casenote analyzes Braun v. Soldier of Fortune Magazine, Inc., in which the Eleventh Circuit held a magazine liable for negligently publishing a gun-for-hire advertisement that allegedly resulted in the death of the plaintiff's father. The author is critical of this decision, noting the detrimental, long-reaching effects of sustaining a negligence action that penetrates so deeply into First Amendment freedoms.

Braun V. Soldier Of Fortune Magazine, Inc.: Advertisement For Hit Man Brings Four Million Dollar Hit To Publisher, Mae Charles Babb
Braun V. Soldier Of Fortune Magazine, Inc.: Advertisement For Hit Man Brings Four Million Dollar Hit To Publisher, Mae Charles Babb
Mercer Law Review
In Braun v. Soldier of Fortune Magazine, Inc., the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a district court's holding that the First Amendment does not insulate a magazine publisher from liability for publishing a commercial advertisement that presents a substantial danger of harm to the public. In adopting this affirmative duty to examine an advertisement's language, the court imposed tort liability on Soldier of Fortune Magazine ("SOF") for the criminal acts of its advertiser, a third party not joined in the suit. This decision strikes the correct balance between preserving the free flow of commercial information through advertisement with the need to …
Church Of The Lukumi Babalu Aye V. City Of Hialeah, Paul L. Bader
Church Of The Lukumi Babalu Aye V. City Of Hialeah, Paul L. Bader
Mercer Law Review
In Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah, a Florida district court has gone further than any other federal court in proscribing a church's right to exercise its religious beliefs. The district court found that the city's interests in public health, child welfare, and animal welfare were sufficient to override the protection provided under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment. After the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in an unpublished opinion the Supreme Court granted certiorari to decide whether the First Amendment protects a religion's practice of animal sacrifice. The Supreme Court has …
The Right To Religion-Based Exemptions In Early America: The Case Of Conscientious Objectors To Conscription, Ellis M. West
The Right To Religion-Based Exemptions In Early America: The Case Of Conscientious Objectors To Conscription, Ellis M. West
Political Science Faculty Publications
One of the more controversial decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in recent years was its decision in the case of Employment Division, Oregon v. Smith, which raised the basic issue of whether the free exercise clause of the First Amendment guarantees a right to religion-based exemptions, i.e., whether it gives persons and groups a prima facie right to be exempt from having to obey valid laws when they have religious reasons for noncompliance. More specifically, in Smith, two Native Americans claimed that their prosecution for using an illegal drug, peyote, was precluded by the free exercise …
Starting From Scratch: The First Amendment Reporter-Source Privilege And The Doctrine Of Incidental Restrictions, Marcus A. Asner
Starting From Scratch: The First Amendment Reporter-Source Privilege And The Doctrine Of Incidental Restrictions, Marcus A. Asner
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note examines reporters' claims to a First Amendment reporter-source privilege in light of First Amendment doctrine as a whole. Part I briefly explains the current state of reporter-source privileges and the policies behind them. Part II then attempts to identify doctrinal support for the press's claim to a First Amendment privilege. Part II rejects the notion that the First Amendment affords special protection to the press as an institution. A reporter's status as a member of the institutional media is not irrelevant, however, and the well-established principle that the government may not target or single out the press for …

Souring On Lemon: The Supreme Court's Establishment Clause Doctrine In Transition, Roald Y. Mykkeltvedt
Mercer Law Review
In his opinion for the Court in the landmark case of Everson v. Board of Education, Justice Black held that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment erected a high and impregnable "wall of separation" between church and state. Relying primarily on the writings of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson to discern the intentions of the framers, Justice Black maintained that, at the very least, the establishment proscription meant that

Lee V. Weisman: No Reason To Give Thanks, William Jonathan Martin Ii
Mercer Law Review
In Lee v. Weisman, the United States Supreme Court held that nonsectarian prayers delivered at public school graduation ceremonies violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. In reaching its decision, the Court purposefully disregarded the analytical framework established by Lemon v. Kurtzman, and its progeny, in favor of a coercion test. In so doing, the Court's decision not only failed to solve the problems associated with the Lemon framework, but also left Establishment Clause jurisprudence in a greater state of disarray and uncertainty than previously had existed.

State Restrictions On Violent Expression: The Impropriety Of Extending An Obscenity Analysis, Jessalyn Hershinger
State Restrictions On Violent Expression: The Impropriety Of Extending An Obscenity Analysis, Jessalyn Hershinger
Vanderbilt Law Review
A group of minors allegedly attacked a nine-year-old girl at a San Francisco beach and "artificially raped" her with a bottle. The minors attacked the girl after watching and discussing a television network movie that portrayed a similar rape. The victim sued the network, claiming that it was negligent in airing the program.' In Miami Beach, a teenage boy shot and killed his eighty-three- year-old neighbor. Following his conviction, the minor sued three television networks for damages, alleging that a decade of viewing extensive television violence had incited him to imitate the acts that he had seen. Nineteen-year-old John McCollum …
Sex, Violence, And Profanity: Rap Music And The First Amendment, Jon Christopher Wolfe
Sex, Violence, And Profanity: Rap Music And The First Amendment, Jon Christopher Wolfe
Mercer Law Review
Lauded by some and condemned by others, rap music does not want for a divergence of views on its nature, meaning, or message. The deluge of profanity coupled with vivid images and themes of sex and violence have provided fertile ground for discussion of rap's merits. Critics have characterized rap as "ugly macho boasting," "bombastic, self-aggrandizing," and "repulsive." Rap artist Ice Cube's Death Certificate album was the subject of a rare editorial comment by Billboard magazine deriding the lyrics as "the rankest sort of racism and hatemongering." Detractors fear that the violently negative messages promote a value system that celebrates …

Blackmail: Dde-Type Inquiries - 1993, Wendy J. Gordon
Blackmail: Dde-Type Inquiries - 1993, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
DDE-type inquiries usually emerge from a particular brand of intuitionistically-applied deontology which one might call a "theory of side-constraints". From the deontologic notion that "persons are ends, not means," philosophers of this stripe have intuited a number of constraints that should constrain moral actors regardless of the cost. The science of side-constraints is obviously inconsistent with theories such as utilitarianism and economic wealth-maximization, where assessing the costs and benefits of an action constitute the primary guide for action. By contrast side-constraint philosophers tell us that one may not kill another person even to save a large number of other persons; …

Freedom Of Speech For Libraries And Librarians, Rodney A. Smolla
Faculty Publications
Noting the recent bicentennial of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Professor Smolla considers the role of librarians in opposing censorship. He proposes a new principle of "professionalism" to establish the librarian's role, and discusses the principle in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Board of Education v. Pico.
