The Future Of The Foreign Commerce Clause, Scott Sullivan
The Future Of The Foreign Commerce Clause, Scott Sullivan
Journal Articles
The Foreign Commerce Clause has been lost, subsumed by its interstate cousin, and overshadowed in foreign relations by the treaty power. Consistent with its original purpose and the implied, but unrefined view asserted by the judiciary, this Article articulates a broader and deeper Foreign Commerce power than is popularly understood. It reframes doctrinal considerations for a reinvigorated Foreign Commerce Clause--both as an independent power and in alliance with other coordinate foreign affairs powers--and demonstrates that increasing global complexity and interdependence makes broad and deep federal authority under this power crucial to effective and efficient action in matters of national concern.

Our Constitutional Commons, Blake Hudson, Brigham Daniels
Our Constitutional Commons, Blake Hudson, Brigham Daniels
Journal Articles
While much has been written about the U.S. Constitution, very little, if anything at all, has been said about the ways in which the Constitution shares attributes with the commons. This article examines the Constitution and the efforts to influence the shape and scope of its application through the lenses developed by scholars for assessing both common good and public good resources. Focusing on these interrelated lenses provides a unique perspective on both the U.S. Constitution and those attempting to influence its text and its interpretation. The synergy and interaction between the common good and public good dimensions of the …
Structural Environmental Constitutionalism, Blake Hudson
Structural Environmental Constitutionalism, Blake Hudson
Journal Articles
Environmental constitutionalism is of increasing importance as both national and subnational governments seek to facilitate environmental protection through constitutional provisions. Most environmental constitutionalism scholarship focuses on textual constitutional provisions protecting fundamental substantive or procedural citizen rights to a quality environment — what might be termed “fundamental environmental constitutionalism.” Yet another type of environmental constitutionalism is of equal or perhaps even more importance — that is, “structural environmental constitutionalism.” This form of environmental constitutionalism regards the allocation of environmental regulatory authority among levels of government, a particularly salient issue in federal systems of government. This article describes the key attributes of …
Isolated Wetland Commons And The Constitution, Blake Hudson, Michael Hardig
Isolated Wetland Commons And The Constitution, Blake Hudson, Michael Hardig
Journal Articles
Isolated wetlands provide great ecological and economic value to the United States. While some states provide protection for isolated wetlands, a great many do not. These wetlands are also left outside the ambit of federal wetland regulatory protections under the Clean Water Act, with its murky jurisdictional reach. Notwithstanding jurisdictional questions under current federal statutes, the U.S. Supreme Court has gone so far as to call into question the constitutionality of federal isolated wetland regulation. This Article makes a normative argument that, in the absence of state or local programs providing holistic isolated wetland protection, federal action is needed. The …
Charitable Organization Oversight: Rules V. Standards, Philip T. Hackney
Charitable Organization Oversight: Rules V. Standards, Philip T. Hackney
Journal Articles
Congress has traditionally utilized standards as a means of communicating charitable tax law in the Code. In the past fifteen years, however, Congress has increasingly turned to rules to stop fraud and abuse in the charitable sector. I review the rules versus standards debate to evaluate this trend. Are congressional rules the best method for regulating the charitable sector? While the complex changing nature of charitable purpose would suggest standards are better, the inadequacy of IRS enforcement and the large number of unsophisticated charitable organizations both augur strongly in favor of rules. Congress, however, is not the ideal institution to …

Should The Irs Never "Target" Taxpayers? An Examination Of The Irs Tea Party Affair, Philip T. Hackney
Should The Irs Never "Target" Taxpayers? An Examination Of The Irs Tea Party Affair, Philip T. Hackney
Journal Articles
This article is part of a symposium held at Valparaiso University Law School entitled "Money in Politics: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."
In 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration faulted the Internal Revenue Service for the appearance of impartiality because it used names and policy positions such as “Tea Party” and conservative ideology to pick applications for tax-exempt status for greater scrutiny. The Inspector General's review came after members of Congress accused the Service of "targeting" conservative organizations. This Article finds the Inspector General's claim lacks a firm foundation. The use of names to select organizations …

Young V. United Parcel Service, Inc.: Mcdonnell Douglas To The Rescue?, William Corbett
Young V. United Parcel Service, Inc.: Mcdonnell Douglas To The Rescue?, William Corbett
Journal Articles
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978 can be interpreted in two obvious ways: one interpretation requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees, and the other does not require such accommodations. In Young v. United Parcel Service, Inc., the Supreme Court held that in some cases employees may be able to prove intentional pregnancy discrimination based on an employer's failure to make accommodations for the pregnant employee when the employer makes accommodations for other disabled employees. Rather than reaching this result by interpreting the statute to require reasonable accommodations, however, the Court held that plaintiffs with "indirect evidence" of …
Does Situationism Excuse? The Implications Of Situationism For Moral Responsibility And Criminal Responsibility, Ken Levy
Journal Articles
Criminal responsibility is almost universally thought to require moral responsibility. Using the psychological theory of "situationism,'" however, I will argue that criminal responsibility can survive-and therefore that defendants can be justly punished-without moral responsibility.
