Free at Last: Rejecting Equal Sovereignty and Restoring the Constitutional Right to Vote Shelby County v. Holder |
8 Harvard Law & Policy Review 39 (Winter 2014) |
The Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder revitalizes the oldest and most demeaning official insult to African Americans in American constitutional history. Written by Chief Justice Roberts, the majority opinion relies on an unwritten principle that Roberts calls states' equal sovereignty to justify the Court's decision to topple a... |

In Arizona v. United States, the federal government sued to enjoin enforcement of Arizona's immigration laws on preemption grounds. And in Virginia ex rel. Cuccinelli v.

Migrating Towards an Incidental Take Permit Program: Overhauling the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to Comport with Modern Industrial Operations |
54 Natural Resources Journal 107 (Spring 2014) |
In 1918, Congress passed the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to curb mass avian extermination caused by hunting and poaching. Despite Congress's initial concern with these activities, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) expanded the scope of MBTA enforcement to include bird deaths caused by industrial activities. This created a glaring split... |

32 Law and History Review 724 (August, 2014) |
In 1933, Emma Goldman observed that the essential significance of the idea of country, of citizenship was the possession of a certain guarantee of security, the assurance of having some spot you can call your own and that no one can alienate from you. Divested of that, it becomes sheer mockery (2). Goldman spoke from bitter experience. In 1909,... |
