Why Professor Redish Is Wrong About Abstention, Michael Wells
Why Professor Redish Is Wrong About Abstention, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
Most critics of the Supreme Court's abstention doctrines have attacked the substantive merits of rules that channel constitutional litigation away from federal courts and into state courts instead. In a recent article, Martin Redish raises an interesting objection to abstention from a different perspective. He addresses the institutional legitimacy of the rules and contends that whatever their merits, rules like these should be made only by Congress and not the Supreme Court, for they contravene Congress' intent to grant federal courts jurisdiction over constitutional claims against state actors. Part I of this article describes the context in which the choice …

"We The People": John Locke, Collective Constitutional Rights, And Standing To Challenge Government Action, Donald L. Doernberg
"We The People": John Locke, Collective Constitutional Rights, And Standing To Challenge Government Action, Donald L. Doernberg
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The Article is presented in three Parts. Part I documents the enormous effect that Locke's political philosophy had on the Constitution's Framers and traces the idea of collective rights through Locke's Second Treatise, showing how Locke viewed government as a trustee and society as the settlor-beneficiary that forms and gives legitimacy to the government. Part II reviews the development of the current doctrine of standing and demonstrates how the current standing model creates a class of cases where government may, with impunity, violate the Constitution. Part III demonstrates the anomaly of the Supreme Court's current doctrine in a society founded …
Constitutional Citizenship, Paul Brest
Constitutional Citizenship, Paul Brest
Cleveland State Law Review
Our practices for determining issues of public morality are deeply flawed. We rely too heavily on the Supreme Court of the United States to determine them for us. We give too much responsibility to the Court, and too little to other institutions; we evade our own responsibility as citizens in a democratic polity. The problem is not that too many issues are "constitutionalized," for many of our most important public moral issues are quite properly treated as constitutional questions. The problem, rather, is that we assume that only the Court is authorized to decide, or is capable of deciding, constitutional …

Fairness After The Charter: A Rose By Any Other Name?, A. Wayne Mackay
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
On at least a short term basis the Charter of Rights and Freedoms has made a significant dent in the Canadian legal landscape. Not only has it produced a veritable cottage industry for practising lawyers and legal academics - it has raised some of the most fundamental questions about which institutions should shape public policy in Canada. The courts have a bold new mandate to measure the acts of the legislative and executive branches of the government against the new standards of the Charter. When these agencies are found wanting, they are to be checked and their illegal actions invalidated. …

During the past year, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided a number of significant appeals involving constitutional issues. As is generally the case, most of the issues presented to the Second Circuit were also under judicial scrutiny in other federal appellate courts. Four first amendment cases decided by the court—three dealing primarily with freedom of religion and a fourth with freedom of the press—are particularly noteworthy and merit review.

Rethinking Selective Enforcement In The First Amendment Context, Karl S. Coplan
Rethinking Selective Enforcement In The First Amendment Context, Karl S. Coplan
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Note argues for the use of a balancing-of-interests approach in place of the current two-part test when enforcement policies are challenged on first amendment grounds. The Note begins by explaining the current two-part test and analyzing how it conflicts with other first amendment doctrines. Next, an inquiry into the development of current law reveals that the origins of both the selective prosecution defense and its motive requirement lie in equal protection review of administrative action. These roots suggest a defect in the application of an equal protection test in place of a direct application of the first amendment. The …

Substantive Due Process And The Scope Of Constitutional Torts, Michael L. Wells, Thomas A. Eaton
Scholarly Works
The thesis of this Article is that both the Supreme Court and its critics have failed to identify and confront the central issue presented by these due process constitutional tort cases. That issue is neither procedural fairness nor the choice between state and federal courts. It is deciding whether a government-inflicted injury to life, liberty, or property violates the substantive protections of the due process clauses and thereby warrants a constitutionally derived tort remedy. In Part II of this Article we examine the Supreme Court's decisions in this area, focusing primarily on Parratt v. Taylor. We demonstrate that neither Parratt …
