32 Law and Social Inquiry 399 (Spring, 2007) |

Americans from every political persuasion want the president of the United States, as an institution, to set sustainable domestic policy, carry the mantle as leader of the free world, and head the world's only superpower with high credibility and near-boundless international political capital in foreign policy.

PROPERTY AND EMPIRE: THE LAW OF IMPERIALISM IN JOHNSON V. M'INTOSH |
75 George Washington Law Review 329 (February, 2007) |
Chief Justice Marshall's opinion in Johnson v. M'Intosh, 21 U.S. (8 Wheat.) 543 (1823), has long been a puzzle, both in its doctrinal structure and in long, strange dicta which are both triumphal and elegiac.

The overridingly negative view of the property lawbreaker as a wrongdoer comports with the status of property rights within our characteristically individualist, capitalist, political culture. This reflexively dim view of property lawbreakers is also... |

At the very least, the freedom that Congress is empowered to secure under the Thirteenth Amendment includes the freedom to buy whatever a white man can buy, the right to live wherever a white man can live.

The Act, through... |
