Remanding To Congress: The Supreme Court's New ʺOn The Recordʺ Constitutional Review Of Federal Statutes, A. Christopher Bryant, Timothy J. Simeone Jan 2001

Remanding To Congress: The Supreme Court's New ʺOn The Recordʺ Constitutional Review Of Federal Statutes, A. Christopher Bryant, Timothy J. Simeone

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

In recent years, the fate of federal statutes has increasingly turned on the contents of their formal legislative records. The Supreme Court has shown a new willingness to find statutes unconstitutional because their legislative records do not support the factual judgments that justify congressional action. In this Article, Professors Bryant and Simeone trace the development of the trend toward increased judicial scrutiny of legislative records in recent Supreme Court rulings on the constitutionality of federal statutes. They then critique the Court's new approach, arguing that it is not only inconsistent with precedent, but also fundamentally ill advised, most importantly because …

Why Dosen't She Leave - The Collision Of First Amendment Rights And Effective Court Remedies For Victims Of Domestic Violence, Laurie S. Kohn Jan 2001

Why Dosen't She Leave - The Collision Of First Amendment Rights And Effective Court Remedies For Victims Of Domestic Violence, Laurie S. Kohn

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

Why doesn't she leave? This is a commonly asked question by people confounded by the phenomenon of women who stay in battering relationships despite the abuse they endure. Social scientists have offered many explanations to elucidate this seemingly paradoxical behavior. This article, however, focuses on a pervasive and previously unexamined explanation: the victim's fear that the batterer will publicize truthful confidential information about her. Typically, the batterer will threaten that if the victim leaves him, he will disseminate information such as the victim's HIV status, sexual orientation, or immigration status. The stakes are high. The victim will fear, often rationally, …


Colorblind Redistricting: Racial Proxies As A Solution To The Court's Voting Rights Act Quandry, Michelle E. O'Connor-Ratcliff Jan 2001

Colorblind Redistricting: Racial Proxies As A Solution To The Court's Voting Rights Act Quandry, Michelle E. O'Connor-Ratcliff

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

This Note explores the crossroads of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, redistricting, strict scrutiny, the colorblind ideal, and racial proxies. Although better than total rejection of race as a consideration in redistricting, racial proxies are not good enough. The unattained colorblind ideal should not be treated as if it were reality. We are not yet a colorblind society and are likely a long way from it. Race awareness does have a part to play in building America into the Court's dream utopia that eventually becomes colorblind. Racial proxies only prompt states to pretend that race is not a factor …

Do As I Say And Not As I Do: Dickerson, Constitutional Common Law And The Imperial Supreme Court, Kevin Mcnamee Jan 2001

Do As I Say And Not As I Do: Dickerson, Constitutional Common Law And The Imperial Supreme Court, Kevin Mcnamee

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Comment examines the Supreme Court's Miranda jurisprudence through the lens of the "constitutional common law" theory, which suggests that the Supreme Court has crafted a large body of subconstitutional rules that are not compelled by the text of the Constitution but serve to protect values implicit in the text. As a result, such rules are subject to the limitations of modification and nullification by later courts. After presenting the characteristics of the constitutional common law theory and its relationship to federalism and separation of powers, the author suggests that the theory can explain the erosion of Miranda decision's brightline …

Federal Preemption Of State Tort Claims, Marin Roger Scordato Jan 2001

Federal Preemption Of State Tort Claims, Marin Roger Scordato

Scholarly Articles

This article explores a continuing disagreement among Justices of the United States Supreme Court regarding the proper doctrinal framework for federal preemption jurisprudence. This important difference in views became apparent in the four federal preemption cases that the Supreme Court decided during its 1999-2000 term. The article describes this critical disagreement among the Justices, places it in the larger context of preemption doctrine, and then carefully analyzes a number of possible resolutions.

Federal preemption is an area of enormous practical and theoretical importance. It is a subject that has earned a regular place on the Supreme Court's docket for many …


May The Child Online Protection Act Rely On Community Standards To Identify Material That Is Harmful To Minors?, Susanna Frederick Fischer Jan 2001

May The Child Online Protection Act Rely On Community Standards To Identify Material That Is Harmful To Minors?, Susanna Frederick Fischer

Scholarly Articles

The Communications Decency Act, the government's previous attempt to protect minors from online pornography, was struck down in 1997 on the grounds that it required Internet content to be judged by the standards of the community most likely to be offended by it. Now the Court has agreed to review the constitutionality of the new Child Online Protection Act, which seeks to address the Court's free-speech concerns by regulating Web communications in a manner similar to existing laws restricting minors' access to print pornography.


Enforcing Federal Civil Rights Against Public Entities After Garrett, Roger C. Hartley Jan 2001

Enforcing Federal Civil Rights Against Public Entities After Garrett, Roger C. Hartley

Scholarly Articles

In this article, I focus on the Section 5 branch of the federalism revival, the branch that was at issue in Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama v. Garrett, and the one that is most likely to arise when litigating on behalf of or against an arm of state government. In order to position Garrett doctrinally, I first describe the conceptual framework that determines the validity of Congress' effort to abrogate state judicial sovereignty. This is an abridged version since more complete histories have been reported widely, both recently in these pages, and in many other journals. I …

Antiterrorism Military Commissions: Courting Illegality, Jordan J. Paust Jan 2001

Antiterrorism Military Commissions: Courting Illegality, Jordan J. Paust

Michigan Journal of International Law

On November 13, 2001, President Bush issued a sweeping and highly controversial Military Order for the purpose of creating military commissions with exclusive jurisdiction to try certain designated foreign nationals "for violations of the laws of war and other applicable laws" relevant to any prior or future "acts of international terrorism." The Order reaches far beyond the congressional authorization given the President "to use all necessary and appropriate force," including "use of the United States Armed Forces," against those involved in the September 11th attack "in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by …

Freedom Of Expression In New York State: What Remains Of People Ex Rel. Arcara V. Cloud Books, Inc.?, Jeremy J. Bethel Jan 2001

Freedom Of Expression In New York State: What Remains Of People Ex Rel. Arcara V. Cloud Books, Inc.?, Jeremy J. Bethel

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note explores the decline of People ex rel. Arcara in New York State jurisprudence over the last decade. It first describes traditional and contemporary methods of testing free expression infringements, including a discussion of federal minimum standards, and protection expansions implemented by the New York Court of Appeals. Next, it describes the effect of federal "secondary effects" jurisprudence upon the People ex rel. Arcara standard, and how that encounter skewed lower court application of that standard for all cases involving "content-neutral" infringement of protected speech. Finally, it examines the illogical consequences of the court of appeals' method of deciding …


Do The Clothes Make The Man? Implications Of A Witness' Status In The Determination Of Probable Cause, Jessica Ward Jan 2001

Do The Clothes Make The Man? Implications Of A Witness' Status In The Determination Of Probable Cause, Jessica Ward

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note examines police determination of probable cause based on witness credibility. It first sets out the probable cause standard and details the relevant probable cause case law and the policy considerations behind the Fourth Amendment. Next, it examines different types of witnesses the police encounter and analyzes whether the status of the witness implies more or less credibility. Finally, it evaluates the factors that officers apply in their determination of witness credibility. This Note concludes that the status of the witness should not be determinative, but rather should be just one of the factors the police take into account …
