Show Me the Money: Congressional Limitations on State Tax Sovereignty |
35 Harvard Journal on Legislation 149 (Winter, 1998) |
Over the past few years, Congress has increasingly preempted the states' power to tax, and at the same time, has cut back funding for federally mandated programs. In this Article, Professor Kaye examines the growth of fiscal burdens placed on state and local governments in the form of unfunded mandates. She argues that this has grave policy... |

Sounds of Sovereignty: Defining Federalism in the 1990s |
32 Indiana Law Review 27 (1998) |
Federalism is back, with a vengeance. Not so long ago, in Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority, it appeared that we had witnessed the Second Death of Federalism, in the words of one prominent scholar. In that case, the Supreme Court had announced that it would no longer exercise judicial review to police the boundaries between the... |

Sovereignty of Aboriginal Peoples |

The relevance of establishing Aboriginal sovereignty is not confined to the practical exercise of sovereign powers within a given jurisdiction. It is also relevant to the judicial enforcement of rights. If, as suggested by traditional theory, international law only pertains to the actions of sovereign states and, perhaps as a corollary, only... |

One of Congress' goals in creating the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit was to foster uniformity in the application of the law of patents. The importance of such uniformity in achieving the ultimate ends of the patent system is difficult to overstate. As one Chief Judge of the Federal Circuit has observed, consistency in this... |

Theories of the Eleventh Amendment proliferate, and since all of them are unsatisfactory, it seems pointless to choose among them.... |

Thus, on its one-hundred fiftieth anniversary, there is good reason to study, criticize and interpret that Treaty and the events ending the Mexican-American War. In doing so, however, two points--one past and one present--should be kept in mind. The past: it was as recent... |
