  • Linde's Legacy: the Triumph of Oregon State
    LINDE’S LEGACY LINDE’S LEGACY: THE TRIUMPH OF OREGON STATE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, 1970-2000 Richard S. Price* I. INTRODUCTION This article discusses an interesting empirical puzzle. A peculiarity of American federalism leaves state supreme courts1 as final interpreters of their state law.2 This necessarily means that state supreme courts have more constitutional authority than federal courts over state law.3 Beginning in the 1970s, many scholars argued that state courts should and would use this authority to give their state Constitutions an independent meaning beyond the then recent conservative turn in federal constitutional jurisprudence.4 As I discuss below, the reality of judicial federalism over the past forty years demonstrates that this expectation was never fulfilled. Instead of building a new, independent state constitutional law, state supreme courts still rely primarily on federal doctrine with only occasional state decisions offered on an ad hoc basis.5 The question then becomes why, if state courts exercise final interpretative authority over their state Constitutions, would they so often defer to the U.S. Supreme Court on constitutional rights issues? * Assistant Professor of Political Science, Weber State University; Ph.D., Maxwell School of Syracuse University (Political Science), 2012; J.D., Roger Williams School of Law, 2006. A Hemingway New Faculty Grant from the Research, Scholarship, and Professional Growth Committee at Weber State University provided support for the research discussed in Part VII. 1 While state courts of last resort occasionally use different titles, I use “state supreme court” to refer generally to all such state courts. 2 See, e.g., Michigan v.
