  • RICE V. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR of HAWAII Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
    528US2 Unit: $U29 [06-15-01 20:43:16] PAGES PGT: OPIN OCTOBER TERM, 1999 495 Syllabus RICE v. CAYETANO, GOVERNOR OF HAWAII certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit No. 98–818. Argued October 6, 1999—Decided February 23, 2000 The Hawaiian Constitution limits the right to vote for nine trustees chosen in a statewide election. The trustees compose the governing authority of a state agency known as the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, or OHA. The agency administers programs designed for the benefit of two sub- classes of Hawaiian citizenry, “Hawaiians” and “native Hawaiians.” State law defines “native Hawaiians” as descendants of not less than one-half part of the races inhabiting the islands before 1778, and “Ha- waiians”—a larger class that includes “native Hawaiians”—as descend- ants of the peoples inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. The trust- ees are chosen in a statewide election in which only “Hawaiians” may vote. Petitioner Rice, a Hawaiian citizen without the requisite ancestry to be a “Hawaiian” under state law, applied to vote in OHA trustee elections. When his application was denied, he sued respondent Gover- nor (hereinafter State), claiming, inter alia, that the voting exclusion was invalid under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The Federal District Court granted the State summary judgment. Survey- ing the history of the islands and their people, it determined that Con- gress and Hawaii have recognized a guardian-ward relationship with the native Hawaiians, which is analogous to the relationship between the United States and Indian tribes. It examined the voting qualifica- tions with the latitude applied to legislation passed pursuant to Con- gress’ power over Indian affairs, see Morton v.

  • APRIL 2019 Policymakers Are Using Research and Data to Analyze Trends and Design Bipartisan Criminal Justice Policy More Than Ever
    APRIL 2019 Policymakers are using research and data to analyze trends and design bipartisan criminal justice policy more than ever. This remarkable development over the past decade has bolstered public safety and saved taxpayer dollars. But those efforts sometimes obscure the individual realities of the people who are closest to the system: the person whose untreated mental illness is worsened by time in prison, the child of an incarcerated parent, the corrections officer battling the stresses of each workday, the father denied job after job because of his criminal record. The Face to Face initiative challenges all policymakers to publicly engage with people in these situations by participating in a series of public activities through which they can interact with people who are in prison or jail, corrections officers, victims of crime, and others who have firsthand experience with the criminal justice system. The initiative was launched in August 2017 by the National Reentry Resource Center and The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center in partnership with the Association of State Correctional As of 2019, 15 Administrators, JustLeadershipUSA, and the National governors from Center for Victims of Crime. both major Policymakers on both sides of the aisle have political parties participated in Face to Face to gain a deeper have participated appreciation of the challenges people involved with in Face to Face. the system encounter, raise the visibility of these issues for the general public, and become more effective champions of data-driven policies to address those challenges. This collection of stories highlights participation in Face to Face by a number of governors and features the voices of those who stand to benefit from criminal justice policy that is developed with personal experiences in mind.
