Home Rule And Local Political Innovation, Richard Briffault
Home Rule And Local Political Innovation, Richard Briffault
Faculty Scholarship
As demonstrated by San Francisco's recent adoption of instant runoff voting and New York City's recent expansion of its program for funding candidates for municipal office, local governments around the country have been actively engaged in examining and revising electoral and governmental processes. These local initiatives include alternative voting systems, campaign finance reforms, conflicts of interest codes, term limits, and revisions to tax, budget and legislative procedures. These local innovations illustrate both the capacity of local governments to restructure basic features of their political organization and their interest in doing so. Local political innovations also test the scope of local …
Income Tax Discrimination And The Political And Economic Integration Of Europe, Michael J. Graetz, Alvin C. Warren Jr.
Income Tax Discrimination And The Political And Economic Integration Of Europe, Michael J. Graetz, Alvin C. Warren Jr.
Faculty Scholarship
In recent years, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has invalidated many income tax law provisions of European Union (EU) member states as violating European constitutional treaty guarantees of freedom of movement for goods, services, persons, and capital. These decisions have not, however, been matched by significant EU income tax legislation, because no EU political institution has the power to enact such legislation without unanimous consent from the member states. In this Article, we describe how the developing ECJ jurisprudence threatens the ability of member states to use tax incentives to stimulate their domestic economies and to resolve problems of …
The New Biopolitics: Autonomy, Demography, And Nationhood, Jedediah S. Purdy
The New Biopolitics: Autonomy, Demography, And Nationhood, Jedediah S. Purdy
Faculty Scholarship
Political thinkers have long worried that freedom might be selfundermining, tending to erode the liberal rights and democratic politics that form its foundations. The argument has ancient and modern versions, versions of the political left and of the right. No doubt the only adequate answer is the sum of the answers to many particular questions: whether and when popular elections undermine liberal rights, how free markets enhance or undermine democracy, and so forth. In this article, I address an emerging problem in a central area of contemporary freedom: reproductive autonomy. I ask whether reproductive autonomy can undermine the political conditions …
The Politics Of Same-Sex Marriage Politics, Katherine M. Franke
The Politics Of Same-Sex Marriage Politics, Katherine M. Franke
Faculty Scholarship
In this Essay I would like to share some reflections on the politics of same-sex marriage politics. In a very short period of time, this issue has moved to the center of the gay and lesbian rights movement as well as larger mainstream political and legal debates. Some have even argued that this issue affected, if not determined, the outcome of the 2004 presidential election. This, I believe, is rather an overstatement, but I must concede that the issue has gained traction in ways that most of us would not have predicted five years ago. The states of Vermont and …
Gendered Subjects Of Transitional Justice, Katherine M. Franke
Gendered Subjects Of Transitional Justice, Katherine M. Franke
Faculty Scholarship
Transitional societies must contend with a range of complex challenges as they seek to come to terms with and move beyond an immediate past saturated with mass murder, rape, torture, exploitation, disappearance, displacement, starvation, and all other manner of human suffering. Questions of justice figure prominently in these transitional moments, and they do so in a dual fashion that is at once backward and forward looking. Successor governments must think creatively about building institutions that bring justice to the past, while at the same time demonstrate a commitment that justice will form a bedrock of governance in the present and …
Reining In The Supreme Court: Are Term Limits The Answer?, Arthur D. Hellman
Reining In The Supreme Court: Are Term Limits The Answer?, Arthur D. Hellman
Book Chapters
Once again, life tenure for Supreme Court Justices is under attack. The most prominent proposal for reform is to adopt a system of staggered non-renewable terms of 18 years, designed so that each President would have the opportunity to fill two vacancies during a four-year term. This book chapter, based on a presentation at a conference at Duke Law School, addresses the criticisms of life tenure and analyzes the likely consequences of moving to a system of 18-year staggered terms for Supreme Court Justices.
One of the main arguments for term limits is, in essence, that the Supreme Court should …
