Contempt Of Congress: A Reply To The Critics Of An Absolute Rule Of Statutory Stare Decisis, Lawrence C. Marshall

Michigan Law Review

In the law school tradition of "suspending belief," Professor Eskridge has created a hypothetical in which I, in my first case as Chief Justice of the United States, must decide whether to adhere to various antiquated and seemingly erroneous precedents interpreting the Mann Act. Eskridge assumes that I will feel compelled to adhere to these decisions, for to do otherwise, he contends, would force me to abandon the proposal for an absolute rule of statutory stare decisis that I advanced recently in this Law Review. Eskridge then offers a variety of critiques of my thesis, coming from perspectives as diverse …

The Case Of The Amorous Defendant: Criticizing Absolute Stare Decisis For Statutory Cases, William N. Eskridge Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Earlier in this the first year of the new millennium, Professor Larry Marshall was appointed Chief Justice of the United States. The first important case coming before the Marshall Court involved the government's prosecution of Frankly Amorous under the White Slave Traffic Act of June 25, 1910 (the Mann Act), as amended. Defendant Amorous was a law student in Virginia who paid for the airplane ticket of his female lover to travel from North Carolina to Virginia for the admitted purpose of having extramarital sexual relations. The U.S. Attorney prosecuted Amorous for violating the Mann Act, which criminalizes the knowing …

Regulating Violent Pornography, Deana Pollard

Vanderbilt Law Review

In recent years the regulation of pornography has received much attention. Traditionally, conservatives have scorned pornography of all types on the basis that pornography is immoral. More recently, some feminists have attacked pornography from a civil rights perspective,claiming that pornography is the sexually explicit subordination of women that leads to discrimination against women in all aspects of life. Nonetheless, the first amendment currently protects all forms of pornography from regulation unless the material is deemed "obscene.

"Researchers, however, have shown that certain types of pornography, such as violent, sexually explicit materials, specifically harm women. The proven relationship between violent pornography …

Impending Legal Issues For Integrated Broadband Networks, Michael I. Meyerson

All Faculty Scholarship

Given human nature, computer networks are prone to many of the same legal problems that have affected earlier forms of communication. The insatiable human appetite for mischief, information, pornography, and anti-competitive activity guarantees that the many legal conflicts that afflict computers, telephones, cable television, and broadcasting will be visited upon IBNs. This article focuses on several of these legal problems. By examining the history of controversies involving the electronic media and breaches of security, protection of privacy, regulation of sexual material and refusals to deal, this article attempts to outline some ways to think about applying the lessons from the …

Remaking The Constitution: A Critical Reexamination Of The Bowers V. Hardwick Dissent, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

Not only in folklore do historical watersheds spring from trickles. We all have heard that Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lamp to start the Chicago fire, and even sober history texts tell us that one Gavrilo Princip started World War I. Princip was a politically overactive Serbian nationalist destined to die of tuberculosis in an Austrian prison, but not before immortalizing himself on June 28, 1914. That day the nineteen-year-old Princip shot and killed Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his wife as they rode in an open car through Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. The occasion, or excuse, for release of smoldering …

Women In The Aids Epidemic: A Portrait Of Unmet Needs, Arlene Zarembka, Katherine M. Franke

Faculty Scholarship

While rarely a month goes by that the topic of AIDS escapes discussion in the legal literature, a survey of legal publications reveals that the implications of AIDS for women has received scant treatment by legal commentators. Unfortunately, this neglect is not unique to the legal community, but reflects a larger societal disinterest in women with AIDS.

In fact, this epidemic looks quite different from the perspective of women. The medical, social, and legal needs of women affected by AIDS are in many ways needs that preexisted AIDS, but which have been magnified by the threat and implications of HIV …

The Confrontation Clause Applied To Minor Victims Of Sexual Abuse, Eleanor L. Owen

Vanderbilt Law Review

Dramatic increases in reports of child abuse and an even more alarming rise in reports of sexual abuse of children have contributed to growing media attention and public awareness of these problems. Concern for effective prosecution of the abusers, as well as for protection of the minor victims from further psychological trauma, has prompted a growing number of states to develop statutory measures that provide special protection from trauma for children during testimony at trial.The minor victim reportedly has the most difficulty facing his or her family and the defendant during testimony. Creative solutions' to this problem have been developed …

This Brief is submitted on behalf of 885 American law professors (see Appendix) who believe that the right of a womanto choose whether or not to bear a child, as delineated by this Court in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is an essential component of constitutional liberty and privacy commanding reaffirmation by this Court. To support our belief in the fundamental importance of the right of personal privacy within our constitutional system, and the centrality of reproductive freedom within that right, this Brief draws upon an extensive body of scholarship produced by numerous law professors many of …
