The Right To Marry, Cass R. Sunstein Apr 2005

The Right To Marry, Cass R. Sunstein

Cardozo Law Review

The Supreme Court has said that there is a constitutional "right to marry"; but what can this possibly mean? People do not have a right to marry their dog, their aunt, June 29, a rose petal, or a sunny day. This essay attempts to make some progress in understanding both the content and the scope of the right to marry. With respect to content, it concludes that people have no more and no less than this: a right of access to whatever expressive and material benefits the state now provides for the institution of marriage. It follows that the right …

Judicial Selection And Democratic Theory: Demand, Supply, And Life Tenure, Judith Resnik Jan 2005

Judicial Selection And Democratic Theory: Demand, Supply, And Life Tenure, Judith Resnik

Cardozo Law Review

How ought a democracy select its judges? Critics in Canada, England, and Wales invoke the democratic values of accountability and transparency to call for a diminution in prime ministerial control over judicial appointments. In the United States, Article III of the Constitution's text directs that the President nominate - with the advice and consent of the Senate - life-tenured federal judges. Bitter conflicts about particular nominees have produced many proposals for changes of that system. And in those states that rely on various forms of judicial election, concerns focus on funding and campaigning. In short, both globally and locally, democracies …

Dialectic And Revolution: Confronting Kelsen And Gadamer On Legal Interpretation, Hans Lindahl Jan 2003

Dialectic And Revolution: Confronting Kelsen And Gadamer On Legal Interpretation, Hans Lindahl

Cardozo Law Review

This paper examines the general structure and conditions of legal interpretation that arise from confronting Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics with a determinate conception of legal interpretation suggested by Kelsen's Pure Theory of Law. The Gadamerian question, "What defines legal interpretation as interpretation?", suggests that Kelsen's reference to legal norms as "schemes of interpretation" must be radicalized: a hermeneutic circularity or dialectic is at work in the law, such that the legal interpretation of reality also changes, to a lesser or greater extent, the principle of interpretation - the legal norm. The Kelsenian question, "What defines interpretation as legal interpretation?", suggests …

The Virtue Of Vagueness In Takings Doctrine, Marc R. Poirier Nov 2002

The Virtue Of Vagueness In Takings Doctrine, Marc R. Poirier

Cardozo Law Review

In discussions of regulatory takings law, there appears to be an almost universal assumption that its vagueness is a bad thing, a mysterious dysfunction. This article argues that the vagueness in takings doctrine is quite functional and entirely appropriate. Since considerable vagueness turns out to be inevitable, this is just as well. Happily, over time, specific resource use conflicts and transitions sometimes do crystallize out into more predictable forms of law - new rules and customs about specific types of property. Within these specific and limited regimes, we can and should aspire to rules defining the circumstances under which the …
