Presidential Popular Constitutionalism, Jedidiah Purdy Jan 2009

Presidential Popular Constitutionalism, Jedidiah Purdy

Fordham Law Review

This Article adds a new dimension to the most important and influential strand of recent constitutional theory: popular or democratic constitutionalism, the investigation into how the U.S. Constitution is interpreted (1) as a set of defining national commitments and practices, not necessarily anchored in the text of the document, and (2) by citizens and elected politicians outside the judiciary. Wide-ranging and ground-breaking scholarship in this area has neglected the role of the President as a popular constitutional interpreter, articulating and revising normative accounts of the nation that interact dynamically with citizens’ constitutional understandings. This Article sets out a “grammar” of …

Proper Assertion Of The Deliberative Process Privilege: The Agency Head Requirement, Shilpa Narayan Jan 2008

Proper Assertion Of The Deliberative Process Privilege: The Agency Head Requirement, Shilpa Narayan

Fordham Law Review

Can any employee of an executive agency assert the deliberative process privilege in order to withhold information in response to a valid request? This Note examines the agency head requirement for assertion of the deliberative process privilege and concludes that only executive officials possessing policy-making authority may invoke the privilege. Such privilege determinations must come from a policy-making official in order to curb abuse and maintain the integrity of executive decisions. Recognition of such a policy-making distinction with regard to the agency head requirement will serve both the Executive’s and the public’s interest in ensuring effective governance.

The Incoherence Between Rawls's Theories Of Justice, Thomas W. Pogge Jan 2004

The Incoherence Between Rawls's Theories Of Justice, Thomas W. Pogge

Fordham Law Review

Would it be desirable to reform the global institutional order in conformity with the principles Rawls defends in A Theory on Justice? Rawls himself denies this and proposes a different moral theory (The Law of Peoples) for the relations among self-governing peoples. While sharing a questionable, purely recipient-oriented approach, his two theories differ importantly in substance and structure. The former gives weight only to the interests of individual persons, yet the latter gives no weight to these interests at all. The former theory is three-tiered and institutional, centering on a public criterion of justice that is justified through a contractualist …
