Blind Leading The "Colorblind": The Evisceration Of Affirmative Action And A Dream Still Deferred, Amy L. Knickmeier
Blind Leading The "Colorblind": The Evisceration Of Affirmative Action And A Dream Still Deferred, Amy L. Knickmeier
Northern Illinois University Law Review
The age of race-conscious remedial programs is coming to its demise. This Comment analyzes the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to school desegregation decrees and affirmative action programs in higher education. Furthermore, the Comment addresses the progressively hostile attitude exemplified by the judiciary toward such programs when Constitutional violations are absent. Finally, this Comment argues that racism continues to extensively influence societal views and behaviors. Therefore, until more viable and effective solutions to racism are implemented, race-conscious affirmative action plans must survive. Consequently, the Supreme Court ought to mandate a lenient standard of review to race-based remedial programs in higher …
Congruence Principle Applied: Rethinking Equal Protection Review Of Federal Alienage Classifications After Adanrand Constructors, Inc. V. Peña, Victor C. Romero
Congruence Principle Applied: Rethinking Equal Protection Review Of Federal Alienage Classifications After Adanrand Constructors, Inc. V. Peña, Victor C. Romero
Journal Articles
This article suggests that the Supreme Court's 1995 decision in Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Peña constitutes a starting point for a renewed dialogue on the intersection of race, noncitizens' rights, and immigration law.
Part I of this Article examines the historical foundations of the plenary power doctrine up to the current dichotomy between judicial review of state and federal alienage classifications under equal protection. Part II reviews the Adarand decision, arguing that Justice O'Connor's congruence principle provides the bulwark for a revision of judicial review of federal legislation, especially in light of the historical and continuing perception of Asian- and …

Anti-Immigrant Backlash And The Role Of The Judiciary: A Proposal For Heightened Review Of Federal Laws Affecting Immigrants Comment., Valerie L. Barth
Anti-Immigrant Backlash And The Role Of The Judiciary: A Proposal For Heightened Review Of Federal Laws Affecting Immigrants Comment., Valerie L. Barth
St. Mary's Law Journal
The hostile environment in the United States toward immigrants, as indicated by the Welfare Reform Act and Proposition 187, calls for a more meaningful judicial review of laws affecting immigrants. Although subjecting the federal government’s actions regarding immigrants to heightened review might seem to be a radical step, this Comment will explain why such a move is necessary. Part II discusses historical justifications for subjecting state and federal laws affecting immigrants to different levels of scrutiny under the Equal Protection Clause. Part III presents arguments for labeling immigrants a “suspect” class. Part IV considers the constitutionality of the Welfare Reform …

Integrity And Universality: A Comment On Dworkin's Freedom's Law, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Ronald Dworkin has done more than any other constitutional lawyer, past or present, to impress upon us the importance of integrity to constitutional law, and hence to our shared public life. Far from being merely a private virtue, Dworkin has shown that integrity imposes constraints upon and provides guidance to the work of judges in constitutional cases: Every constitutional case that comes before a court must be decided by recourse to the same moral principles that have dictated results in relevant similar cases in the past. Any group or individual challenging the constitutionality of legislation which adversely affects his or …
