Contract, Race, And Freedom Of Labor In The Constitutional Law Of "Involuntary Servitude", James G. Pope 2011 Rutgers Law School- Newark

Contract, Race, And Freedom Of Labor In The Constitutional Law Of "Involuntary Servitude", James G. Pope

Schmooze 'tickets'

The Supreme Court has yet to adopt and apply a standard for assessing labor rights claims under the involuntary servitude clause. This article suggests that one may be found in the leading decision of Pollock v. Williams (1944), which contains the Court’s most thorough discussion of the interpretive issues. Under Pollock, a claimed right should be protected if it is necessary to provide workers with the “power below” and employers the “incentive above” to prevent “a harsh overlordship or unwholesome conditions of work.” Although this is not the only conceivable standard, it does fit well with the text, history, and …

Scribble Scrabble, The Second Amendment, And Historical Guideposts: A Short Reply To Lawrence Rosenthal And Joyce Lee Malcolm, Patrick J. Charles 2011 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law

Scribble Scrabble, The Second Amendment, And Historical Guideposts: A Short Reply To Lawrence Rosenthal And Joyce Lee Malcolm, Patrick J. Charles

NULR Online

In a recent article Professors Lawrence Rosenthal and Joyce Lee Malcolm provided an intriguing debate over the standard of scrutiny that should be applied to restrictions on the Second Amendment in the wake of McDonald v. City of Chicago. This Article sets forth to illuminate two aspects of that debate. The first is Professor Rosenthal’s concern on the constitutionality of open-carry or conceal-carry prohibitions. He inaccurately claims that the founders left insufficient historical evidence to support such prohibitions. Thus this Article addresses those concerns through the use of “historical guideposts.” The second aspect this Article sets forth to address …

So How Did We Get Into This Mess? Observations On The Legitimacy Of Citizens United, Alexander Polikoff

NULR Online

How did the American body politic allow business corporations to threaten members of Congress by saying, credibly, “Do what we want or we’ll bury you!”?

On January 21, 2010, the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission interpreted the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment to permit corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to support or oppose their chosen candidates. "[A] lobbyist," said the front page of the next day’s New York Times, "can now tell any elected official that [if you vote wrong,] my company, labor union or interest group will spend unlimited sums explicitly …
