The Political Safeguards Of Horizontal Federalism, Heather K. Gerken, Ari Holtzblatt 2014 Yale Law School

The Political Safeguards Of Horizontal Federalism, Heather K. Gerken, Ari Holtzblatt

Michigan Law Review

For decades, we have debated whether “political safeguards” preserve healthy relations between the states and the federal government and thus reduce or eliminate the need for judges to referee state–federal tussles. No one has made such an argument about relations among the states, however, and the few scholars to have considered the question insist that such safeguards don’t exist. This Article takes the opposite view and lays down the intellectual foundations for the political safeguards of horizontal federalism. If you want to know what unites the burgeoning work on horizontal federalism and illuminates the hidden logic of its doctrine, you …


Rehabilitate Or Incarcerate? A Comparative Analysis Of The United States' Sentencing Laws On Low-Level Drug Offenders And Portugal's Decriminalization Of Low-Level Drug Offenses, Caroline E. Sapp 2014 Yeshiva University, Cardozo School of Law

Rehabilitate Or Incarcerate? A Comparative Analysis Of The United States' Sentencing Laws On Low-Level Drug Offenders And Portugal's Decriminalization Of Low-Level Drug Offenses, Caroline E. Sapp

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

America's criminal justice system is in need of targeted reform. Throughout this country, too many Americans are trapped- and too many communities are weakened - by a vicious cycle of poverty, criminality, and incarceration. Too many people go to too many prisons for far too long - and for no truly good law enforcement reason. The U.S. prison population has grown at an astonishing rate over the last three decades - by almost 800 percent since 1980, despite the fact that America's overall population has increased by only about a third. As we speak, more than 219,000 federal inmates are …


Federalism As A Way Station: Windsor As Exemplar Of Doctrine In Motion, Neil S. Siegel 2014 Texas A&M University School of Law

Federalism As A Way Station: Windsor As Exemplar Of Doctrine In Motion, Neil S. Siegel

Faculty Scholarship

This article asks what the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in United States v. Windsorstands for. It first shows that the opinion leans in the direction of marriage equality but ultimately resists any dispositive “equality” or “federalism” interpretation. The article next examines why the opinion seems intended to preserve for itself a Delphic obscurity. The article reads Windsor as an exemplar of what judicial opinions may look like in transition periods, when a Bickelian Court seeks to invite, not end, a national conversation, and to nudge it in a certain direction. In such times, federalism reasoning and rhetoric—like declining to …
