Assessing The New Judicial Minimalism, Christopher J. Peters
Assessing The New Judicial Minimalism, Christopher J. Peters
All Faculty Scholarship
In this article, which has been published in slightly revised form at 100 Colum. L. Rev. 1454 (2000), I critique some recently prominent arguments for "judicial minimalism" in constitutional decisionmaking. Current minimalist arguments, I contend, are primarily "policentric," that is, focused on the role the judiciary can play in bolstering the accountability and deliberativeness of the political branches. Drawing in part on a previous article, I offer an alternative approach to minimalism that is "juricentric" - focused on the inherent democratic legitimacy of the adjudicative process and the unique competence of that process to produce decisions about individual rights. I …
Race And The Australian Constitution: From Federation To Reconciliation, George Williams
Race And The Australian Constitution: From Federation To Reconciliation, George Williams
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
The framing of the Australian Constitution initiated a pattern of discrimination against Australia's Indigenous peoples. They were cast as outsiders to the nation brought about in 1901. This pattern was broken in 1967 by the deletion of the discriminatory provisions from the Constitution. Today, there is strong community support in Australia for the reconciliation process, which would involve recognition of Indigenous peoples as an integral and unique component of the Australian nation. However, this has yet to be translated into substantive legal outcomes. The author analyses the interaction of issues of race and the Australian Constitution as it has affected …
Constitutional Approaches To Privatization: An Inquiry Into The Magnitude Of Neo-Liberal Constitutionalism, David Schneiderman
Constitutional Approaches To Privatization: An Inquiry Into The Magnitude Of Neo-Liberal Constitutionalism, David Schneiderman
Law and Contemporary Problems
Schneiderman discusses whether constitutional rules in the state capitalist mode that redistribute property ownership more widely can survive the pressures generated by the neo-liberal model of constitutionalism. Schneiderman considers privatization programs that concern the divestiture of state assets, or denationalization through the sale of shares or assets to employees and employee associations.

Indirect Constitutional Discourse: A Comment On Meese, Robert F. Nagel
Indirect Constitutional Discourse: A Comment On Meese, Robert F. Nagel
Law and Contemporary Problems
Nagel responds to Alan J. Meese's comments on Pres Clinton's actions following the Supreme Court's decision in "Regents of the University of California v. Bakke." While the Clinton Administration's strategy does not produce the best possible form of constitutional dialogue, it does produce another recognizable form of dialogue, one full of confusion and hypocrisy but a surprisingly central and entrenched part of the practice of judicial review itself.
An Economic Analysis Of The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Travis C. Wheeler
An Economic Analysis Of The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Travis C. Wheeler
Law and Contemporary Problems
As an attempt by Congress to overturn a Supreme Court ruling by statute, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), although passed by a congressional landslide, was one of the most controversial pieces of legislation passed during Bill Clinton's presidency. Wheeler examines RFRA from a law and economics perspective to show that, as a method by which Congress attempted to impose its definition of a constitutional right upon the courts, the Act was inefficient.
The Clinton Administration And War Powers, Lori Fisler Damrosch
The Clinton Administration And War Powers, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Law and Contemporary Problems
Damrosch compares the record of the Clinton Administration with those of its predecessors, after first briefly locating US war powers practice in the context of crossnational comparisons. Pres Clinton has been more respectful of Congress's constitutional role than either Pres Reagan or Pres Bush, yet less successful in persuading Congress to exercise the responsibility that goes along with the claim of constitutional power.
The Scope Of “High Crimes And Misdemeanors” After The Impeachment Of President Clinton, Neil Kinkopf
The Scope Of “High Crimes And Misdemeanors” After The Impeachment Of President Clinton, Neil Kinkopf
Law and Contemporary Problems
Kinkopf believes that the House of Representatives' decision to impeach Pres Clinton on the charge that he committed perjury before the grand jury, a charge that did not involve official conduct, was proper. Even though Pres Clinton's misconduct was not a proper basis for impeachment or conviction, his case demonstrates that if would be terribly unwise to understand official misconduct to be a necessary element of a high crime or misdemeanor.
The Special Constitutional Structure Of The Federal Impeachment Process, Michael J. Gerhardt
The Special Constitutional Structure Of The Federal Impeachment Process, Michael J. Gerhardt
Law and Contemporary Problems
Gerhardt offers a general explanation of the federal impeachment process and relates it to the impeachment of Pres Bill Clinton. The first feature of the constitutional allocation of power for impeachment and removal is that it facilitates and rewards a pragmatic or flexible analysis and impedes a formalistic analysis of the fundamental question at the core of Pres Clinton's impeachment proceedings--whether his conduct constituted a "high Crime or Misdemeanor."

The President And Choices Not To Enforce, Peter L. Strauss
The President And Choices Not To Enforce, Peter L. Strauss
Law and Contemporary Problems
Strauss explores the context of executive non-enforcement in a broad way that may help in understanding situations in which the President believes a particular statute is inconsistent with one or another provision of the Constitution and, therefore, should not be enforced.
Writing Off Race, Girardeau A. Spann
Writing Off Race, Girardeau A. Spann
Law and Contemporary Problems
Because the US Constitution says absolutely nothing about affirmative action, the Supreme Court should have absolutely nothing to say about it either. Rather, the political branches should set the nation's affirmative action policy, and they should do so with political leadership provided by the President. Spann considers Pres Clinton's record on affirmative action.
Suing States For Money: Constitutional Remedies After Alden And Florida Prepaid, Michael Wells
Suing States For Money: Constitutional Remedies After Alden And Florida Prepaid, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
On June 23, 1999, the Supreme Court handed down three noteworthy decisions bearing on the law of constitutional remedies. Alden v. Maine struck down an attempt by Congress, acting under its Article I powers, to subject states to suits in state court on federal statutory grounds. Florida Prepaid Postsecondary Education Expense Board v. College Savings Bank curbed Congress' power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to authorize suits against state governments on constitutional grounds, reasoning that a case cannot be made for the federal cause of action unless state law remedies are inadequate. A companion case, College Savings Bank …
Presidential Non-Enforcement Of Constitutionally Objectionable Statutes, Dawn E. Johnsen
Presidential Non-Enforcement Of Constitutionally Objectionable Statutes, Dawn E. Johnsen
Law and Contemporary Problems
Johnsen considers the legitimacy of what he terms "presidential non-enforcement," that is, whether and when the President may disobey an unambiguous congressional command enacted in conformity with the constitutionally prescribed lawmaking process on the ground that the President believes the law is unconstitutional.
Constitutionalism In The Shadow Of Doctrine: The President’S Non-Enforcement Power, David Barron
Constitutionalism In The Shadow Of Doctrine: The President’S Non-Enforcement Power, David Barron
Law and Contemporary Problems
Barron challenges the court-centered approach to the scope of the President's non-enforcement power. He contends that a President, notwithstanding that he considers himself bound by the Supreme Court's constitutional interpretations, should resolve three distinct questions in determining whether he may faithfully decline to enforce a statute by virtue of its unconstitutionality.
Impeachment As Congressional Constitutional Interpretation, Neal Kumar Katyal
Impeachment As Congressional Constitutional Interpretation, Neal Kumar Katyal
Law and Contemporary Problems
Katyal argues that one can adhere to originalism in the context of judicial interpretation and, nevertheless, believe in a broader style of interpretation for the legislature. He illustrates the point with three examples--the roles of history, precedent, and moral philosophy--in discussing the case of Pres Bill Clinton's impeachment.

The Constitutional Legacy Of Chief Justice Brian Dickson, Robert J. Sharpe
The Constitutional Legacy Of Chief Justice Brian Dickson, Robert J. Sharpe
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
Chief Justice Brian Dickson played a central role in the elaboration of the fundamental values of the Canadian Constitution. He took a balanced approach to federalism, favouring neither federal nor provincial claims and inviting cooperation through overlapping jurisdiction. Dickson transformed the rule of law from a background value to an operative constitutional principle. His judgments on the rights of minorities reflect a remarkable empathy for the plight of the disadvantaged. Democracy informed all aspects of his constitutional thinking. Dickson rejected the contention that judicial review is anti-democratic, and his constitutional legacy reflects a sustained effort to harmonize all four fundament …

The Case For Including Marks V. United States In The Canon Of Constitutional Law, Maxwell L. Stearns
The Case For Including Marks V. United States In The Canon Of Constitutional Law, Maxwell L. Stearns
Faculty Scholarship
In this essay, I would like to suggest adding a single case, with appropriate commentary, to the canon of constitutional law, as presented in introductory casebooks. Specifically, I suggest including Marks v. United States, as a principal case, or in the form of a detailed summary, immediately before or after the first major plurality decision. I should note that the case is rather short – nine pages in the U.S. Reports – and that it nominally involves obscenity doctrine. I would suggest, counterintuitively perhaps, that the case is more fruitfully presented toward the beginning of an introductory course in constitutional …

Disentangling Deregulatory Takings, Jim Rossi, Susan Ackerman-Rose
Disentangling Deregulatory Takings, Jim Rossi, Susan Ackerman-Rose
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Constitutional takings protections, such as those in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, create a potential for state liability for changes in regulatory policy by governments. This Article critiques takings jurisprudence in the context of two infrastructure investment issues: the stranded cost problem facing United States utility industries, which has given rise to claims of compensation for deregulatory takings; and the development of standards to protect direct foreign investment in developing countries. In both contexts, traditional legal doctrines do not adequately provide for the type of remedy sought so courts are in need of standards to assist them …
