Proposition 8 Is Unconstitutional, But Not Because The Ninth Circuit Said So: The Equal Protection Clause Does Not Support A Legal Distinction Between Denying The Right To Same-Sex Marriage And Not Providing It In The First Place, Nathan Rouse Mar 2013

Proposition 8 Is Unconstitutional, But Not Because The Ninth Circuit Said So: The Equal Protection Clause Does Not Support A Legal Distinction Between Denying The Right To Same-Sex Marriage And Not Providing It In The First Place, Nathan Rouse

Seattle University Law Review

In Perry v. Brown, the Ninth Circuit held that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. But in doing so, the court stepped back from the breadth of the district court’s decision. The Ninth Circuit did not address whether same-sex marriage is a fundamental constitutional right. Nor did the Ninth Circuit address whether the Equal Protection Clause categorically prevents states from limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. Instead, the Ninth Circuit reached the narrow conclusion that Proposition 8 violates the Equal Protection Clause because it withdrew a preexisting legal right from a marginalized group without any legitimate purpose. The Ninth Circuit should have held …

Explaining The Progression Of The Rights Of Same-Sex Couples In South America, Daniel De La Cruz Mar 2013

Explaining The Progression Of The Rights Of Same-Sex Couples In South America, Daniel De La Cruz

San Diego International Law Journal

A trend of rights advocacy has recently developed in the international community. Organizations dedicated to the principle of advancing the rights of historically under-represented and oppressed social groups have proliferated around the globe. The growth of the gay rights movement in recent years has resulted in the expansion of civil liberties afforded to same-sex couples. The movement has gained significant success in symbolic expression. Even without much knowledge of the movement, one typically associates a rainbow flag, the Greek letter lambda, and the word “pride” with the effort. Unfortunately, the movement has not achieved comparable substantive success. Same-sex couples continue …

Narrative Pluralism And Doctrinal Incoherence In Hosanna-Tabor, Frederick Mark Gedicks Mar 2013

Narrative Pluralism And Doctrinal Incoherence In Hosanna-Tabor, Frederick Mark Gedicks

Mercer Law Review

The federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination are among the most important statutes ever enacted. They constitute the most significant federal commitment to eradication of the unjustified discrimination in the economic sector that has persisted since Reconstruction. The laws nevertheless did not address one significant issue: whether and how anti-discrimination norms should apply to ministers and other religious leaders employed by churches and other religious congregations.

The laws are not wholly silent, to be sure. They allow religious groups to discriminate in favor of members of their own religion when they hire leaders, thus avoiding (what we might hope are) hypothetical …

Brown V. Board In The World: How The Global Turn Matters For School Reform, Human Rights, And Legal Knowledlge, Martha Minow

San Diego Law Review

Global perspectives can contribute to our understandings of any one nation’s laws and decisions. In this light, America’s educational landmark, Brown v. Board of Education, matters not just for the United States but around the world. Inside the United States, a cottage industry of academic scholars studies the influence of Brown where the decision’s impact reaches well beyond racial desegregation of schools. The litigation has by now a well-known and complicated relationship to actual racial integration within American schools, as the case perhaps exacerbated tensions and slowed otherwise gradual reform, and perhaps at the same time galvanized the social movement …
