Models Of The Opinion Function Of The Attorney General: A Normative, Descriptive, And Historical Prolegomenon, John O. Mcginnis
Cardozo Law Review
The judiciary is not the only branch of government that offers authoritative constructions of the Constitution and other federal laws. Since the beginning of the Republic, the executive branch has made formal pronouncements on constitutional and statutory issues of such a substantial scope and variety that they rival the opinions of the Supreme Court. A public recording of the executive branch's most authoritative legal voice is contained in forty-three volumes of published opinions of the Attorney General and sixteen volumes of published opinions of the Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC")-the office to which the Attorney General now delegates the great …

A Further Word Against Consensus, John O. Mcginnis
A Further Word Against Consensus, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
In their Response to my Essay, Professors Strauss and Sunstein not only take issue with a few of my arguments but also suggest a measure of consensus between their views and mine on the confirmation process.1 While I very much appreciate their proffer of half an olive branch, upon reflection I believe that the differences between us concerning the confirmation process remain very great and illustrate even more profound differences concerning the premises and structure of our republican Constitution.

Evolving Thresholds Of Nuisance And The Takings Clause, John A. Humbach
Evolving Thresholds Of Nuisance And The Takings Clause, John A. Humbach
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article reviews the historical tradition in which the common law core of nuisance has been the frequent subject of statutory additions and refinements, providing most of our modern law of land use and environmental protection. Until Lucas, the Takings Clause had not been treated as a charter establishing the courts as boards of revision to rethink and selectively veto legislative determinations in the land use field. Within the scope of “total takings,” however, Lucas has converted the Takings Clause from its original meaning and made it exactly that.
"Taking" The Imperial Judiciary Seriously: Segmenting Property Interests And Judicial Revision Of Legislative Judgments, John A. Humbach
"Taking" The Imperial Judiciary Seriously: Segmenting Property Interests And Judicial Revision Of Legislative Judgments, John A. Humbach
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article examines the diversion of the Takings Clause from its historic limited role to that of a charter for courts to second-guess legislative determinations of land-use rights and wrongs. As we shall see, prior to Lucas the Supreme Court and others following its lead have generally not regarded the Takings Clause as a warrant for reaching de novo determinations on land use problems and then substituting such judicial determinations, if different, for those of the legislature. Some notable exceptions in the Claims Court and Federal Circuit will then be considered along with the ostensible Supreme Court authority, a sentence …

The Constitutional Ghetto, Robert L. Hayman, Nancy Levit
The Constitutional Ghetto, Robert L. Hayman, Nancy Levit
Faculty Works
The goal of this Article is to assess two Supreme Court desegregation decisions. It is our view that Board of Education v. Dowell and Freeman v. Pitts are, by almost every measure, seriously flawed decisions. The opinions of the Court rest on epistemic premises - reductionist views of race and racism, and an absurdly formalistic conception of equality - that are by turns either anachronistic, cramped and inauthentic, or demonstrably wrong. Worse, they promote a vision of American society - fragmented, hierarchical, and shamelessly individualistic - that is fundamentally inconsistent both with the egalitarian norms embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment …
Constitutional Law--First Amendment--No Constitutional Right To Vote For Donald Duck: The Supreme Court Upholds The Constitutionality Of Write-In Voting Bans In Burdick V. Takushi, Jeanne M. Kaiser
Faculty Scholarship
This Note examines the Supreme Court decision in Burkick v. Takushi in detail and questions the Court's conclusion that the voters' interest in casting write-in votes is so slight that write-in bans are presumptively valid. The Note concludes that the Burdick decision is both inconsistent with the Court's previous ballot access jurisprudence, and restricts the electoral process at a time when voters are clamoring for more diverse choices in the voting booth. Section I of this Note briefly reviews a number of cases that considered the constitutionality of legislation governing candidate access to election ballots. The ballot access cases are …
Rights As Trumps, Dan T. Coenen
Rights As Trumps, Dan T. Coenen
Scholarly Works
In this essay, I question Professor Fallon's strong rejection of the notion that "rights are trumps" by making four points. First, rights are trumps in the single, but important, sense that they preclude the exercise of powers granted to government by the constitutional text. Second, rights sometimes operate as trumps on governmental powers in the very purse sense that they cut off all consideration of governmental interests. Third, even when the Court considers government interests in dealing with rights, it often does so on such a restricted basis that the description of rights as "trumps" remains accurate. Finally, even accepting …

The 1991 Supreme Court Term: Review And Outlook, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The 1991 Supreme Court Term was the first during which justices originally appointed by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush-Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, and Clarence Thomas-constituted a majority. The term's main surprise, however, was that this majority of five-indeed, a majority of six when Chief Justice William Rehnquist, elevated to that position by President Reagan precisely because of his judicial philosophy, is included-did not forge a consistent jurisprudential majority characterized by the strict interpretative approach favored by their sponsoring presidents. While, generally speaking, the Court's decisions certainly continued to represent a departure from the expansive …
