The Perils Of Panama--Are United States Employees Of The Panama Canal Commission Exempt From United States Income Taxation?, Pamela P. Bond

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Since the enactment of the Panama Canal Treaty (the Treaty) on October 1, 1979, United States citizens employed by the Panama Canal Commission have come to the United States federal courts seeking exemption from income taxation. The Commission employees have based their claims on an executive agreement which accompanied the Treaty. Specifically, they have relied on the language found in article XV of the Agreement in Implementation of Article III of the Panama Canal Treaty (the Implementation Agreement).

Banning The Bomb: Law And Its Limits, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Faculty Scholarship

We can all agree with the contributors to this volume that nuclear weapons present the threat of unimaginable devastation that could bring an end to civilization and even to life on this planet. The grim calculations and stark images come back again and again, but they cannot be repeated too often: over 50,000 weapons in the United States and Soviet arsenals, each with a destructive force dwarfing the explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; radiation effects producing indescribable suffering and death; environmental damage that defies quantification or prediction; the specter of nuclear winter rendering the earth uninhabitable. No rational being can …

The Role Of The President And Omb In Informal Rulemaking, Peter L. Strauss, Cass R. Sunstein

Faculty Scholarship

Regulatory reform has been a subject of frequent discussion in the last decade, especially in the context of presidential efforts to assert control over the rulemaking process. Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan have all attempted to increase presidential authority over regulation. In particular, President Reagan has issued two executive orders that give the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) considerable power over the rulemaking activities of executive agencies.

In this article, we set forth our views on the role of presidential supervision in the regulatory process, with particular attention to the questions raised by the recent executive orders.

The Concept Of Religion In State Constitutions, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

A year and a half ago an article of mine was published on religion as a concept in constitutional law. The article concerned how courts should approach decisions about whether a belief, practice, organization, or classification is religious. The article did not address, except in passing, what the constitutional standards under the free exercise and establishment clauses should be if something that is religious is aided or inhibited in some way. Since in most cases arising under the religion clauses, the presence of something religious is not itself disputed, my article concerned only a small slice of religion cases.

“Freedom” And ”Coercion”—Virtue Words And Vice Words, Peter Westen

Duke Law Journal

Much has changed since young Thomas Jefferson took up his quill pen in the winter of 1781 and wrote by candlelight about "freedom" and "coercion." More has changed since Plato lauded freedom and derogated coercion two thousand years earlier. 2 The material changes in the way we live are obvious. The normative changes in what we value -- in what we regard as good and evil, right and wrong -- are equally dramatic: the abolition of chattel slavery, the disestablishment of religion, the end of indentured servitude, the demise of monarchy, the prohibition of torture and blood sanctions, the banning …

The Market Participant Test In Dormant Commerce Clause Analysis—Protecting Protectionism?, Richard H. Seamon

Duke Law Journal

The Supreme Court's traditional analysis of state actions under the dormant commerce clause 1 has undergone two important modifications over the past decade. 2 In the first, the Court established a rule under which certain state actions that are within the scope of the dormant commerce clause may be deemed per se invalid, without inquiry into the extent to which the challenged state action burdens interstate commerce or furthers legitimate local objectives. 3 In the second, the Court fashioned a threshold inquiry to determine whether state action constitutes "market participation," 4 in which case it lies outside the scope of …

A Truce In The Takeover Wars?, Gary S. Lawson

Faculty Scholarship

To a casual observer, hostile corporate takeovers may seem as pointless and destructive a form of modern warfare as the Iran/Iraq conflict. "Raiders" strike with bear hugs, junk bonds, and two-tier tender offers. Incumbent managers respond with poison pills, greenmail payments, shark repellents, and golden parachutes. Congress is wearying of the strife, and may soon impose a cease-fire on the combatants -but to whose benefit?
