Independent Agencies Under Attack: A Skeptical View Of The Importance Of The Debate, Susan Bartlett Foote
Duke Law Journal
The 1980s have witnessed two related but distinct attacks on independent agencies. 1 One attack is grounded in constitutional theory. Some have argued that independent agencies, those "strange amalgam[s]" that blend the functions of all three branches but are the creatures of none, violate the separation of powers doctrine in the Constitution. 2 This approach has been labeled "neoclassical" 3 or the "new formalism." 4 These terms suggest a rediscovery of fundamental constitutional principles. Another attack proceeds from an organizational perspective. Without clear lines of authority from one branch of government, independent agencies are politically unaccountable, and therefore vulnerable to …
A Job For The Judges: The Judiciary And The Constitution In A Massive And Complex Society, Neil K. Komesar
A Job For The Judges: The Judiciary And The Constitution In A Massive And Complex Society, Neil K. Komesar
Michigan Law Review
This article attempts that task by exploring the elements of institutional choice in constitutional law. Part I takes an overview of the general division of decisionmaking responsibility between the political processes and the courts. It also examines the failures of existing theories to take account of this division of responsibility. Part II identifies two theories of political malfunction - those circumstances in which political processes are subject to significant doubt or distrust and, therefore, prime candidates for judicial review. Part III examines the characteristics - limits, biases, and abilities - of the judiciary and the potential for judicial response to …

Judicial Conscience And Natural Rights: A Reply To Professor Ledewitz, Harry V. Jaffa
Judicial Conscience And Natural Rights: A Reply To Professor Ledewitz, Harry V. Jaffa
Seattle University Law Review
In our Spring 1987 issue, Professor Jaffa authored an essay in which he posited that the fundamental principles of equality and other tenets of natural law expressed in the Declaration of Independence were originally intended to be the principles of the Constitution of 1787 Professor Jaffa asserted that while the Framers believed in the "law of nature and nature's God," many contemporary constitutional thinkers, including fellow conservatives Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Attorney General Edwin Meese, do not. Thus, Jaffa argued, those conservatives "who today most aggressively appeal to the doctrine of original intent are among its most resolute antagonists." …

Reconstructing The Takings Doctrine By Redefining Property And Sovereignty, John Martinez
Reconstructing The Takings Doctrine By Redefining Property And Sovereignty, John Martinez
Fordham Urban Law Journal
In 1987, the Supreme Court decided three cases involving "takings" challenges to governmental exercise of the power to control land use. This trilogy of cases affirmed the continuing validity of a three-part analytical model in addressing the takings problem: (1) is private property involved; (2) has governmental action so affected it as to require a remedy; and (3) what remedy should be provided? This Article critically examines that model and argues that the first two questions are fundamentally indistinguishable and that to treat them as distinct inquiries is unworkable. The Article then proposes a functional approach under which individuals are …
