Washington V. Glucksberg’S Original Meaning, Marc Spindelman
Washington V. Glucksberg’S Original Meaning, Marc Spindelman
Cleveland State Law Review
This Article elaborates and defends Washington v. Glucksberg’s original meaning both on its own terms and against accounts of Glucksberg that depict it as having announced and followed a strict test of history and tradition as its basic approach to Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process rights.
The nominal occasion for the present return to Glucksberg and its original meaning is the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

The Mad Hatter’S Quip: Looking For Logic In The Independent State Legislature Theory, Nicholas Maggio, Foreword By Brendan Buschi
Touro Law Review
The Supreme Court is set to hear a case that threatens the bedrock of America’s democracy, and it is not clear how it will shake out. The cumbersomely named “Independent State Legislature Theory” is at the heart of the case Moore v. Harper, which is before the Supreme Court this term. The theory holds that state legislatures should be free from the ordinary bounds of state judicial review when engaged in matters that concern federal elections. Despite being defeated a myriad of times at the Supreme Court, the latest challenge stems from a legal battle over North Carolina’s redistricting maps. …
