De-Moralized: Glucksberg In The Malaise, Steven D. Smith Jan 2008

De-Moralized: Glucksberg In The Malaise, Steven D. Smith

Michigan Law Review

Ten years down the road, what is the enduring significance of the "assisted suicide" cases, Washington v. Glucksberg and Vacco v. Quill? The cases reflect an unusually earnest, but nonetheless unsuccessful, attempt by the Supreme Court to grapple with a profound moral issue. So, why was the Court unable to provide a more satisfying justification for its conclusions? This Article, written for a symposium on the tenth anniversary of Glucksberg,, discusses that question. Part I examines some of the flaws in reasoning in the Glucksberg and Quill opinions and suggests that these flaws stem from the opinion writers' …


Sex Offender Registration And Community Notification Policy: Past, Present, And Future, Wayne A. Logan Jan 2008

Sex Offender Registration And Community Notification Policy: Past, Present, And Future, Wayne A. Logan

Scholarly Publications

Based on a keynote address delivered in conjunction with the Journal's annual symposium, this paper examines several of the major legal and policy issues associated with sex offender registration and community notification laws. Particular attention is dedicated to the Adam Walsh Act, a federal law enacted in July 2006 that continues efforts by Congress to foster changes in state registration and notification regimes as a result of its Spending Clause authority. In addition to discussing the federalism implications of the AWA, the paper examines several of its most significant provisions, including those calling for empirical assessment of registration and community …


Indian Gaming On Newly Acquired Lands, Erik M. Jensen Jan 2008

Indian Gaming On Newly Acquired Lands, Erik M. Jensen

Faculty Publications

This symposium article examines the meaning of the term Indian lands - the lands that might become sites for Indian gaming-in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988. At its core, the term is unambiguous: it includes reservations and other lands that, at the time of IGRA's enactment, were held in trust by the United States for the benefit of American Indian nations. But Indian lands can include much more. Indeed, it is possible for real estate having only the most tenuous historical connections with a tribe (perhaps having no connections at all) to become Indian lands. The treatment of …


Parents Involved And The Meaning Of Brown: An Old Debate Renewed, Jonathan L. Entin Jan 2008

Parents Involved And The Meaning Of Brown: An Old Debate Renewed, Jonathan L. Entin

Faculty Publications

In Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 the Supreme Court debated the meaning of Brown v. Board of Education. This essay, prepared for a symposium on Parents Involved, traces the roots of the debate between color-blindness and anti-subordination to Brown itself and efforts to desegregate public schools in the wake of that decision but shows that the debate goes back at least as far as the tensions reflected in the first Justice Harlan's celebrated dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson.


From The Fringes Of Copyright Law: Examining California's True Name And Address Internet Piracy Statute, Brian Mcfarlin Jan 2008

From The Fringes Of Copyright Law: Examining California's True Name And Address Internet Piracy Statute, Brian Mcfarlin

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In 2004, California Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law California Penal Code section 653aa. Under the statute, anyone located in California who, "knowing that a particular recording or audiovisual work is commercial, knowingly electronically disseminates all or substantially all of that commercial recording or audiovisual work to more than 10 other people without disclosing his or her email address, and the title of the recording or audiovisual work" is guilty of a misdemeanor. While this statute allows copyright holders, such as music companies, to easily identify copyright infringers online, it accomplishes this goal by going outside of federal copyright law entirely …


A Reexamination Of The Tinker Standard: Freedom Of Speech In Public Schools, Jerico Lavarias Jan 2008

A Reexamination Of The Tinker Standard: Freedom Of Speech In Public Schools, Jerico Lavarias

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

The question of whether homosexuality is a sin has been, especially in the last decade, at the center of public discourse. People who practice any Christian religion would strongly answer in the affirmative to this question. However, we live in modem times where the right to freedom of speech and enjoyment of civil liberties are arguably at their height, and contrary to religious conclusions many positive viewpoints have arisen on the practice of homosexuality. Yet the debate continues. While there is no question to the right afforded to adults to freely and openly discuss the issue of whether homosexuality is …

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz Jan 2008

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz

Articles

The article challenges the traditional classification of removal proceedings as civil, arguing that expulsion, particularly for permanent residents, functions similarly to criminal punishment and should therefore be treated as criminal. It proposes a bifurcated approach distinguishing exclusion and expulsion, advocating for criminal protections in expulsion proceedings to align with historical and constitutional principles.


Mixed Speech: When Speech Is Both Private And Governmental, Caroline Mala Corbin Jan 2008

Mixed Speech: When Speech Is Both Private And Governmental, Caroline Mala Corbin

Articles

Speech is generally considered to be either private or governmental, and this dichotomy is embedded in First Amendment jurisprudence. However, speech is often neither purely private nor purely governmental but rather a combination of the two. Nonetheless, the Supreme Court has not yet recognized mixed speech as a distinct category of speech. This Article suggests considerations for identifying mixed speech and exposes the shortcomings of the current approach of classifying all speech as either private or governmental when determining whether viewpoint restrictions pass First Amendment muster. Treating mixed speech as government speech gives short shrift to the free speech interests …

‘Move On’ Orders As Fourth Amendment Seizures, Stephen E. Henderson Jan 2008

‘Move On’ Orders As Fourth Amendment Seizures, Stephen E. Henderson

Faculty Articles

If a police officer orders one to move on, must the recipient comply? This article analyzes whether there is a federal constitutional right to remain, and in particular whether a police command to move on constitutes a seizure of the person for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. Although it is a close question, I conclude that the Fourth Amendment typically does not restrict a move on (MO) order, and that substantive due process only prohibits the most egregious such orders. It is a question of broad significance given the many legitimate reasons police might order persons to move on, as …


The Forgotten Right: Section 9 Of The Charter, Its Purpose And Meaning, James Stribopoulos Jan 2008

The Forgotten Right: Section 9 Of The Charter, Its Purpose And Meaning, James Stribopoulos

The Supreme Court Law Review: Osgoode’s Annual Constitutional Cases Conference

This paper examines why section 9 of the Charter, the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned, has failed to flourish. The paper argues that the right has essentially remained dormant because the Supreme Court of Canada has not yet expressly identified the underlying purpose of this important constitutional guarantee. After briefly canvassing the current state of affairs under section 9, the paper shifts to a purposive analysis of the guarantee. Its historic antecedents, the provision’s drafting history, the international influences that helped shape its framing, the testimony of senior civil servants involved in its drafting, as well as …


"Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting": Congressman William Jefferson, The Saturday Night Raid, And The Speech Or Debate Clause, James W. Mcphillips Jan 2008

"Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting": Congressman William Jefferson, The Saturday Night Raid, And The Speech Or Debate Clause, James W. Mcphillips

Georgia Law Review

On May 20, 2006, for the first time in U.S. history, federal agents executed a search warrant in raiding the Capitol Hill office of a sitting member of Congress. The raid was the culmination of a fourteen month corruption and bribery investigation into Representative William J. Jefferson's business dealings in Africa. Supported by bipartisan outcry, Jefferson sought the return of the documents seized in the raid under the legislative immunity protection of the Speech or Debate Clause. In United States v. Rayburn House Office Building, the D.C. Circuit agreed with Jefferson that the FBI violated his constitutional rights and granted …


Ritual, Emotion, And Political Belief: The Search For The Constitutional Limit To Patriotic Education In Public Schools, Brent T. White Jan 2008

Ritual, Emotion, And Political Belief: The Search For The Constitutional Limit To Patriotic Education In Public Schools, Brent T. White

Georgia Law Review

Young children across America begin the school day with ritualized expressions of loyalty to the United States. Relying upon evidence from the cognitive and neurosciences, this Article argues that such patriotic rituals embed patriotic predispositions in children's unconscious at a time when they are especially vulnerable to emotional manipulation. These patriotic predispositions in turn sharply constrain children's future conceptions of political reality and shape their political beliefs. Additionally, by conditioning the same symbolic attachments in the vast majority of Americans, ritualized patriotic education contributes to the manipulation of the public by public officials, legitimizes anti-democratic aspects of the American system, …
