The Long-Term Implications Of Gonzaga V. Doe, Bradford Mank
The Long-Term Implications Of Gonzaga V. Doe, Bradford Mank
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
State and local governments are often responsible for disbursing federal medical, educational, and welfare benefits. What happens when they deny or revoke them unfairly? Some recipients have used 42 U.S.C. § 1983 as a way to enforce the underlying statutes. The Supreme Court decision in Gonzaga University v. Doe, 536 U.S. 273 (2002), made this more difficult. In doing so, the Court adopted stringent rules for the use of § 1983 to enforce any federal laws, including the nation’s civil rights laws.
Reading Amendments And Expansions Of Title Vii Narrowly, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Reading Amendments And Expansions Of Title Vii Narrowly, Henry L. Chambers, Jr.
Law Faculty Publications
Throughout Title VII’s history, Congress has amended and expanded Title VII. Often, the Supreme Court has read such amendments and expansions narrowly, even as it generally reads Title VII broadly or narrowly depending on the case before it. The Court’s approach to Title VII expansions may merely indicate that the Court believes that such statutory alterations should be read only as broadly as necessary to effectuate their purposes. However, regardless of why the Court has interpreted these expansions narrowly, that the Court has done so suggests that Congress ought to consider carefully how it amends or expands Title VII in …

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The history of the Voting Rights Act began with the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. African-Americans have faced numerous roadblocks in exercising their right to vote. A few of these roadblocks include property tests, poll taxes, and gerrymandering of voting districts. The federal government attempted to combat these procedures by passing legislation. Initially, these laws tried to weaponize case-by-case litigation, but these laws were ineffective due to the far reach of voter discrimination and the sluggish pace of the litigation process. To better combat the issue, Congress attempted to use the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to deal with systemic …
A Deer In Headlights: The Supreme Court, Lgbt Rights, And Equal Protection, Nan D. Hunter
A Deer In Headlights: The Supreme Court, Lgbt Rights, And Equal Protection, Nan D. Hunter
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
In this essay, I argue that the problems with how courts apply Equal Protection principles to classifications not already recognized as suspect reach beyond the most immediate example of sexual orientation. Three structural weaknesses drive the juridical reluctance to bring coherence to this body of law: two doctrinal and one theoretical. The first doctrinal problem is that the socio-political assumptions that the 1938 Supreme Court relied on in United States v. Carolene Products, Inc. to justify strict scrutiny for “discrete and insular minorities” have lost their validity. In part because of Roe v. Wade-induced PTSD, the courts have …
Reflections On The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The March And The Speech: History, Memory, Values, Edward A. Purcell, Jr.
Reflections On The Fiftieth Anniversary Of The March And The Speech: History, Memory, Values, Edward A. Purcell, Jr.
Articles & Chapters
This article considers the significance of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on one of its signature events, the March on Washington in 1963 and the “I Have a Dream” speech that Martin Luther King gave on the occasion. Blending historical analysis with personal memory, it considers the long struggle for civil rights, the impact of both the March and the Speech, and the meaning they held for those who shared their ideals and sought to fulfill their goals. The article then traces the decline of the Civil Rights Movement in the altered political and social …
Obergefell'S Conservatism: Reifying Familial Fronts, Clare Huntington
Obergefell'S Conservatism: Reifying Familial Fronts, Clare Huntington
Fordham Law Review
I am delighted with the result in Obergefell v. Hodges, but I am unhappy with the Court’s reasoning. In lieu of a straightforward, and far more defensible, decision based purely on the Equal Protection Clause, Justice Kennedy’s reliance on the Due Process Clause is deeply problematic.
Race, Dignity, And The Right To Marry, Robin A. Lenhardt
Race, Dignity, And The Right To Marry, Robin A. Lenhardt
Fordham Law Review
Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges asserts legal marriage’s capacity to afford same-sex couples a measure of “equal dignity” and belonging too long denied. In this Essay, I ask whether there is any reason to believe that marriage could do the same for African Americans. Could broader entrance into marriage, as some conservatives suggest, provide Blacks—gay and straight—a measure of belonging that has been frustratingly elusive, even as the nation prepares to celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment’s ratification?
