Roasting The Pig To Burn Down The House: A Modest Proposal, Stuart M. Benjamin Jan 2009

Roasting The Pig To Burn Down The House: A Modest Proposal, Stuart M. Benjamin

Faculty Scholarship

This essay addresses the question whether one should support regulatory proposals that one believes are, standing alone, bad public policy in the hope that they will do such harm that they will ultimately produce (likely unintended) good results. For instance, one may regard a set of proposed regulations as foolish and likely to hobble the industry regulated, but perhaps desirable if one believes that we would be better off without that industry. I argue that television broadcasting is such an industry, and thus that we should support new regulations that will make broadcasting unprofitable, to hasten its demise. But it …

Proactive Legislation And The First Amendment, Stuart M. Benjamin Jan 2000

Proactive Legislation And The First Amendment, Stuart M. Benjamin

Faculty Scholarship

In this Article, I contend that First Amendment principles dictate a presumption against legislation that is based on predictive harms, but that the presumption will be overcome if a court independently determines that there is a likelihood of irreparable harm. Part I briefly discusses the level of harm required to justify legislation that infringes upon First Amendment rights. Part II turns to proactive legislation, giving some examples of predictive harms. Part III describes the Supreme Court's responses to legislative findings in the First Amendment context, and Part IV discusses the difference between predictive harms and other legislative findings. Part V …
