On the Colloquy: The Constitutional Politics of the Tea Party Movement
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
The online companion to the Northwestern University Law Review is proud to feature a four-part series on the constitutional politics of the Tea Party:
The essays originated as a panel discussion at the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools. Professor Richard Albert offers a brief introduction to the online series and explains the impetus for convening a group of renowned constitutional law scholars to discuss the rise of the Tea Party movement.
Professor Randy Barnett, author of the Repeal Amendment, defends the nature of the Tea Party movement and gives a first-hand account of the development of his constitutional proposal, which has attracted significant support from the group. Professor Barnett also responds to criticisms of the Amendment leveled by Professor Levinson, arguing that his proposal is, if anything, too modest in scope.
Professor Sandy Levinson continues the debate with a critique of Professor Barnett’s proposed Repeal Amendment, which would allow the legislatures of two-thirds of all states to repeal any congressional legislation. Levinson argues that such an amendment undemocratically empowers small states to kill federal legislation.
Professor Jared Goldstein assesses popular constitutionalism in light of the Tea Party movement. After discussing the movement’s constitutional vision and rhetoric, Goldstein suggests that popular engagement with the Constitution and control over its interpretation may not promote democratic values as expected.
Professor Ilya Somin observes that the Tea Party is the first popular constitutionalist movement in many years primarily focused on limiting federal power. He then argues that the Tea Party’s efforts to impose stricter limits on government power would further two important objectives: strengthening democratic accountability and limiting popular hostility towards minorities and foreigners.

On the Colloquy: McDonald, Citizens United, and more
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
The online companion to the Northwestern University Law Review is proud to feature five new entries:
Second Amendment scholar Patrick Charles provides a response to Professors Lawrence Rosenthal and Joyce Lee Malcolm in the wake of McDonald v. City of Chicago. Mr. Charles presents historical guideposts to make an argument about the constitutionality of open-carry and conceal-carry prohibitions. The article goes on to critically assess the “well-regulated militia” language of the Second Amendment.
Northwestern’s own Professor John McGinnis discusses the promises and perils of artificial intelligence in a recent podcast. Professor McGinnis is the author of the essay Accelerating AI, recently published in the print journal, and the forthcoming book Accelerating Democracy, which will examine the interaction of technological growth and democratic governance.
Famed Chicago public defender Alex Polikoff discusses the recent Citizens United case on the applicability of First Amendment rights to corporations in elections. He questions several parts of Justice Kennedy’s decision and ultimately finds the majority opinion untenable.
Professor Howard Wasserman explores the ways in which this most recent Supreme Court, including in the unanimous 2010 decision Morrison v. National Australia Bank, now explicitly requires lower courts to maintain clear, determinate lines between jurisdictional rules and those rules reaching the substance on the merits.
Judge Paul Cassell and Steven Joffee respond to Danielle Levine’s recent article on the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. Cassell and Joffee argue that victims’ rights do not impair the just adjudication of criminal cases, but rather improve it.

On the Colloquy: Gun-Control, Antitrust and the Media, Constitutional Torts, and Professional Values
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
McDonald v. Chicago: Which Standard of Scrutiny Should Apply to Gun-Control Laws? is a debate between Professors Lawrence Rosenthal and Joyce Lee Malcolm on the standard of scrutiny that will (and should) be applied to gun control regulations in the wake of the recent SCOTUS decision, McDonald v. City of Chicago. This is an engaging and enlightening discussion on what we might expect in future Second Amendment jurisprudence.
In Why More Antitrust Immunity for the Media Is a Bad Idea, Maurice E. Stucke and Allen P. Grunes—both formerly with the U.S. Department of Justice, Antitrust Division—explore the ways in which the FTC has created antitrust immunity for the newspaper industry. They conclude that further antitrust immunity is not only unnecessary, but counter-productive to a competitive marketplace of ideas.
Professor Nancy Leong discusses the various contexts where constitutional lawmaking occurs in a challenge to John Jeffries’ desire for clarification of constitutional law no matter the setting in Rethinking the Order of Battle in Constitutional Torts: A Reply to John Jeffries. Leong puts forward the idea that the characteristics of various contexts (qualified immunity proceedings, suppression hearings) will inevitably influence the resulting constitutional law.
Finally, in A Personal Constitution, Professor Michael Serota argues that law schools’ failure to address professional values is a problem worthy of remedy, and proposes a solution.

On the Colloquy: Salazar v. Buono – A four-part symposium
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
Now on the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy, a four-part symposium on the recent Establishment Clause case, Salazar v. Buono.
In the first article, Professor Ian Bartrum discusses how the victory for religious groups may not really be a victory, since the endorsement test now looks to the secularization of religious symbols.
In the second article, Professor Mary Jean Dolan analyzes the new “reasonable observer” portion of the (arguably) expanded endorsement test.
Professor Christopher Lund, in the third article, discusses how the government is forced in cases such as this to define religious symbols (like the cross), and thus threaten to expropriate the meaning of these symbols.
Last, Professor Lisa Roy Shaw explains why the Salazar case did not reach the truly interesting issue of whether the cross violated the Establishment Clause, but instead settled on procedural grounds.

On the Colloquy: The Credit Crisis, Refusal-to-Deal, Procreation & the Constitution, and Open Records vs. Death-Related Privacy Rights
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
This summer started off with a three part series from Professor Olufunmilayo B. Arewa looking at the credit crisis and possible changes that would focus on averting future market failures, rather than continuing to create regulations that only address past ones. Part I of Prof. Arewa’s looks at the failure of risk management within the financial industry. Part II analyzes the regulatory failures that contributed to the credit crisis as well as potential reforms. Part III concludes by addressing recent legislation and whether it will actually help solve these very real problems.
Next, Professors Alan Devlin and Michael Jacobs take on an issue at the “heart of a highly divisive, international debate over the proper application of antitrust laws” – what should be done when a dominant firm refuses to share its intellectual property, even at monopoly prices.
Professor Carter Dillard then discussed the circumstances in which it may be morally permissible, and possibly even legally permissible, for a state to intervene and prohibit procreation.
Rounding out the summer was Professor Clay Calvert’s article looking at journalists’ use of open record laws and death-related privacy rights. Calvert questions whether journalists have a responsibility beyond simply reporting dying words and graphic images. He concludes that, at the very least, journalists should listen to the impact their reporting has on surviving family members.

On the Colloquy: Military Sexual Status Regulation, Artificial Intelligence, Black Holes, and more…
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
In the past month, the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy has published essays relevant to current events and debates.
Professor Zachary Kramer writes in his essay that the U.S. military should not be in the business of regulating sexual status. Rather, the military should focus on regulation of sexual conduct for both hetero- and homosexuals.
Professor John McGinnis discusses a recent major media interest, Artificial Intelligence, and what the best government response to its development should be. He argues that, rather than prohibition or heavy regulation, the government should support the development of so-called “friendly AI,” to both prevent potential threats and develop the many benefits of it.
Several legal scholars, notably Professor Adrian Vermeule, contend that the APA is replete with procedural exceptions, which generate “black holes” where federal agencies are free to act outside the constraints of legal order. Unlike Professor Vermeule, Professor Evan Criddle argues that such black holes are not institutional inevitabilities. Rather, administrative law should be reformed to promote a culture of justification, based on the principle that public officials and agencies serve as fiduciaries for the public.
Finally, in Professor Martin Redish’s new book, Wholesale Justice, he provides a thorough analysis of the constitutional implications of the class action mechanism. In his book review, Douglas Smith expands upon these ideas and discusses other ways in which Professor Redish’s theories may be applied in practice or in which the constitutional concerns he identifies may already be recognized.

On the Colloquy: Cohill Remands, Pay to Play Corruption, Stoneridge, and more
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
In the past month, the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy has published essays relevant to current events and debates. Professors Hollener and Howell write in their essay that the Supreme Court should reverse the Federal Circuit’s decision in HIF Bio. The Federal Circuit erred in concluding that all Cohill remands are subject matter jurisdictional. Courts remand supplemental claims, they argue, because state courts are a better forum to litigate the issues. Professor Walker examines pay-to-play corruption and its implications for campaign finance law. His analysis is particularly salient in light of Gov. Blagojevich’s recent indictment.
Whether people possess fundamental rights and liberties beyond what is written in the Constitution has been debated for centuries. One of the most prominent constitutional scholars, Professor Laurence Tribe, tries to contribute to that debate. Professor Segall, in his essay, claims that Professor Tribe’s new book fails to advance the debate over whether the United States has an unwritten constitution. Professor Gevurtz weighs in on Stoneridge Investment Partners, v. Scientific-Atlanta, one of the most controversial decisions handed down by the Supreme Court in recent times. Professors Sarma, Smith, and Cohen observe that the Supreme Court has conflated the Fifth Amendment’s protections with the Six Amendment’s right to counsel, causing jurisprudential disorder. Several justices have considered collapsing the right to counsel into the Fifth Amendment. The professors’ essay argues that the justices should resist the temptation to do so.

On the Colloquy: St. George Tucker, Midnight Regulation, Proposition 8, and More
posted by Northwestern University Law Review
Recently, the Colloquy has started a dialogue on St. George Tucker. Professor Cornell disputes Hardy’s characterization of St. George Tucker. Hardy, as you’ll remember from his previous colloquy piece, criticized Justice Stevens’ mention of St. George’s work in DC v. Heller. Cornell says Hardy’s description of Tucker as an original public meaning originalist is incorrect.
Professor Zasloff observes that with the new Obama administration taking power, bureaucratic reorganization is inevitable. He then argues that in the realm of international climate change, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) is best positioned to design effective international climate change architecture. Speaking of transitioning administrations, Professor Beermann examines the phenomenon of “midnight regulation,” a series of regulations enacted by an outgoing administration when a new one is waiting to take over.
The United States form of elected government differs from those of other countries through the lens of the executive appointment process. In our form of government, as Professor Fontana observes in his essay, after a POTUS is elected, there is a scramble for who gets what position on the transition team. In other countries, there are systems set up of appointing those in the losing political coalition to various executive positions. Thus, in other countries, it is much easier to identify who are the minority party leaders.
Professor Ghosh examines the three fundamental tenets of intellectual property rights and competition policy and their application to a preliminary report released by the European Commission in November 2008.
The New York Times reported that prior to the passage of California’s Proposition 8, churches played an active role in supporting the initiative. Gay rights advocates and others have argued that the churches’ support violate federal law restricting political activity by tax-exempt charities. Professor Galle analyzes the merits to this argument in his essay.
A growing trend in corporate law is the notable increase of independent directors appointed to corporate boards. Professors Sharfman and Toll argue that the “independence” sought by corporations is useless without “independence of mind.”

posted by Northwestern University Law Review
This week, the Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy published a response by Professor Scott Dodson regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Bowles v. Russell. He responded to critiques by Professor Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, Mr. E. King Poor, and Professor Perry Dane and defended his position that the Court disrupted prior precedent in Bowles. To see all of the pieces in the series, click here.
Last week, Professor Howard M. Wasserman responded to Professor Dodson’s Article In Search of Removal Jurisdiction, 102 Nw. U. L. Rev. 55 (2008). His Essay examines the connections between jurisdiction, merits, and procedure, when the connections come into play, and how to separate them out.
On February 11, Professor Robert L. Glicksman participated in the ongoing debate on climate change legislation. He discussed which federal agencies should be responsible for implementing climate change regulation, the proper measure of discretion that Congress should afford these various agencies, and whether the regulation should trump state and local initiatives.
