Constitution 37 New Mexico Law Review 573 (Summer, 2007) Over the past two decades, the U.S. Supreme Court has strengthened and expanded the doctrine of state sovereign immunity.

Kent Greenawalt Moral and Religious Convictions as Categories for Special Treatment: the Exemption Strategy 48 William and Mary Law Review 1605 (April, 2007) My topic differs from the usual inquiries about morality and law, such as how far law should embody morality, whether legal interpretation (always or sometimes) includes moral judgment, and whether an immoral law really counts as law. Concentrating on exemptions from ordinary legal requirements, I am interested in instances when the law might make... 2007

This is evident in changes to Mexico's norm of non-intervention and the United States' plenary power doctrine, two doctrines rooted in international sovereignty. Both have historically defined sovereign authority in... 2007  
  State Law as "Other Law": Our Fifty Sovereigns in the Federal Constitutional Canon 120 Harvard Law Review 1670 (April, 2007) The Supreme Court's recent citations to and discussions of foreign law have generated extensive and well-known controversy.

Andrew King Thawing a Frozen Treaty: Protecting United States Interests in the Arctic with a Congressional--executive Agreement on the Law of the Sea 34 Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly 329 (Winter 2007) The steadily shrinking Arctic ice cap has triggered a feverish interest among the five nations whose coastlines border the region concerning their respective rights to the ocean and the seabed below.

Rebecca Goldberg The "How" of Enforcing the Fourteenth Amendment: Why the Rehnquist Court's Treatment of Implementation, Not Interpretation, Is the True Post-boerne Failing 47 Washburn Law Journal 47 (Fall 2007) One of the most striking legacies of the Rehnquist Court has been the severe curtailing of Congress's power to enact civil rights legislation under Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment (14 § 5). Many scholars have attributed this shift to what they see as a lack of judicial deference to Congress's interpretation of the Constitution --a trend... 2007  
Daniel A. Austin The Bankruptcy Clause and the Eleventh Amendment: an Uncertain Boundary Between Federalism and State Sovereignty 42 University of San Francisco Law Review 383 (Fall 2007) Even when the Constitution vests in Congress complete lawmaking authority over a particular area, the Eleventh Amendment prevents congressional authorization of suits by private parties against unconsenting States. The ineluctable conclusion, then, is that States agreed in the plan of the Convention not to assert any sovereign immunity defense they... 2007  
Matthew McDermott The Better Course in the Post-lapides Circuit Split: Eschewing the Waiver-by-removal Rule in State Sovereignty Jurisprudence 64 Washington and Lee Law Review 753 (Spring, 2007) By the Rehnquist Court's end, much of lay and learned opinion had ascribed to it a reestablishment of state prerogatives and a revival of federalism.

Alison L. LaCroix The New Wheel in the Federal Machine: from Sovereignty to Jurisdiction in the Early Republic 2007 Supreme Court Review 345 (2007) Legal historians and constitutional scholars have tended to approach the judiciary acts of 1789 and 1801 as though the two statutes were separated not only by a dozen years but also by a fundamental, unbridgeable conceptual gulf.

John Corcoran The Rehnquist Court's Proper Restoration of State Sovereign Immunity 5 Georgetown Journal of Law and Public Policy 205 (Winter, 2007) The recent scholarship of the Rehnquist Court's legacy has focused heavily on its conservative activism.

With the nation's treaty obligations proliferating and foreign affairs cases taking up a growing share of the Supreme Court's docket, it is surprising how undertheorized the field of treaty interpretation remains.
