Reagan, Bush And The Supreme Court, Arthur J. Kropp Jan 1992

Reagan, Bush And The Supreme Court, Arthur J. Kropp

University of Richmond Law Review

What may be the most significant achievement of the Reagan-Bush years is one we have only begun to appreciate: the radical revolution in the federal courts. After nearly three terms of conservative presidents bent on remaking the federal judiciary, the courts have been transformed. They are far more conservative, and, despite Administration rhetoric to the contrary, decidedly more activist.


A Social-Conservative Comment On The New Supreme Court, Gary L. Bauer Jan 1992

A Social-Conservative Comment On The New Supreme Court, Gary L. Bauer

University of Richmond Law Review

I recall seeing a column, not long ago, which referred to the Supreme Court as increasingly "a right-wing playground." Liberal groups may be able to raise funds off this impression, but if conservatives rely on it, they are in for a rude awakening when the gavel falls.


Saving The Honorable Court: Assessing The Proper Role Of The Modern Supreme Court, Michael Allan Wolf Jan 1992

Saving The Honorable Court: Assessing The Proper Role Of The Modern Supreme Court, Michael Allan Wolf

University of Richmond Law Review

There are few greater delights in legal scholarship than the opportunity to have the last word in a symposium featuring distinguished - and dramatically differing - viewpoints. The thirteen contributions that precede this afterword offer a provocative and representative set of reactions to the ongoing debate over the role of the Supreme Court in the American polity. This debate is by no means new, or even middle-aged. The struggle over the confirmation of Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is but the latest in a long line of pressure points in American constitutional history - events such as controversial Supreme Court decisions, …

Up In Smoke: Fourth Amendment Rights And The Burger Court, Gerald S. Reamey Jan 1992

Up In Smoke: Fourth Amendment Rights And The Burger Court, Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

When Warren Burger was appointed Chief Justice in 1969, he was expected to lead the Supreme Court away from its liberal, value-laden approach to constitutional adjudication. Indeed, a retrospective of the court’s work during the seventeen years Warren Burger served as Chief Justice reveals the expected conservative trend of the Chief Justice himself, as well as the Supreme Court generally. It does not, however, reflect wholesale rejection of the most controversial civil liberties decisions rendered by the Warren Court. It is also unclear that Chief Justice Burger was responsible for the Court’s retrenchment on civil liberties where it did occur. …


Balancing The Federal Judiciary, Anne Bryant Jan 1992

Balancing The Federal Judiciary, Anne Bryant

University of Richmond Law Review

Since the American Association of University Women first published the associational brief "Balancing the Federal Judiciary" in 1988, two new Associate Justices (David Souter and Clarence Thomas) have joined the Supreme Court. The Court has continued to chip away at the rights of women and minorities, with damaging decisions in areas such as reproductive rights (e.g., Webster v. Reproductive Health Services) and employment discrimination(e.g., Wards Cove Packing Company v. Atonio). With a conservative majority in place on the Supreme Court until well into the next century and Reagan and Bush appointees comprising more than half of the nation's federal judges, …

The Supreme Court: New Hope For The Restoration Of Federalism, Beverly Lahaye, Ellen O. Smith

University of Richmond Law Review

The recent philosdphical shift of the Supreme Court toward a more restrained or "conservative" approach to constitutional adjudication brings with it hope for the revitalization of federalism as a constitutional and political principle.
