Ford Attorney General State of Nevada 100 North Carson Street Carson City, NV 89701 Re: Request for investigation of potential Nevada open public meeting violation and election irregularities Dear Attorney General Ford: Nevadans rightly prize honest and fair elections, as well as transparency in governmental decision making. Unfortunately, recent deeply troubling events in Clark County have placed both of those interests under attack. On behalf of the Republican National Committee and the Nevada Republican Party, I ask you to investigate under NRS 241.039 whether those events violated Nevada’s open public meeting law, and to investigate under NRS 293.840 whether the consequences of Clark County’s decisions have violated Nevada’s election laws. I. Background In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske announced in March 2020 that the June 9 primary would be an all-mail election. As you know, the Democratic National Committee and the Nevada State Democratic Party—together with a handful of related entities and individual plaintiffs—were not content with the Secretary’s plan. They sued her; the head elections officials in Clark, Washoe, and Elko Counties; and you in the First Judicial District Court in Carson City. See Corona et al. v. Cegavske et al., No. CV 20-OC- 00064-1B. 1 The Republican National Committee and Nevada Republican Party intervened as defendants because the plaintiffs there challenged long-standing, common-sense Nevada laws expressly designed to further Nevada’s constitutional interest in “preserv[ing] the purity of elections.” Nev.

  • Congressional Overspeech
    ARTICLES CONGRESSIONAL OVERSPEECH Josh Chafetz* Political theater. Spectacle. Circus. Reality show. We are constantly told that, whatever good congressional oversight is, it certainly is not those things. Observers and participants across the ideological and partisan spectrums use those descriptions as pejorative attempts to delegitimize oversight conducted by their political opponents or as cautions to their own allies of what is to be avoided. Real oversight, on this consensus view, is about fact-finding, not about performing for an audience. As a result, when oversight is done right, it is both civil and consensus-building. While plenty of oversight activity does indeed involve bipartisan attempts to collect information and use that information to craft policy, this Article seeks to excavate and theorize a different way of using oversight tools, a way that focuses primarily on their use as a mechanism of public communication. I refer to such uses as congressional overspeech. After briefly describing the authority, tools and methods, and consensus understanding of oversight in Part I, this Article turns to an analysis of overspeech in Part II. The three central features of overspeech are its communicativity, its performativity, and its divisiveness, and each of these is analyzed in some detail. Finally, Part III offers two detailed case studies of overspeech: the Senate Munitions Inquiry of the mid-1930s and the McCarthy and Army-McCarthy Hearings of the early 1950s. These case studies not only demonstrate the dynamics of overspeech in action but also illustrate that overspeech is both continuous across and adaptive to different media environments. Moreover, the case studies illustrate that overspeech can be used in the service of normatively good, normatively bad, and * Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center.

  • Mass Murder and Spree Murder
    Two Mass Murder and Spree Murder Two Types of Multicides A convicted killer recently paroled from prison in Tennessee has been charged with the murder of six people, including his brother, Cecil Dotson, three other adults, and two children. The police have arrested Jessie Dotson, age 33. The killings, which occurred in Memphis, Tennessee, occurred in February 2008. There is no reason known at this time for the murders. (Courier-Journal, March 9, 2008, p. A-3) A young teenager’s boyfriend killed her mother and two brothers, ages 8 and 13. Arraigned on murder charges in Texas were the girl, a juvenile, her 19-year-old boyfriend, Charlie James Wilkinson, and two others on three charges of capital murder. The girl’s father was shot five times but survived. The reason for the murders? The parents did not want their daughter dating Wilkinson. (Wolfson, 2008) Introduction There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the three types of multi- cide: serial murder, mass murder, and spree murder. This chapter will list the traits and characteristics of these three types of killers, as well as the traits and characteristics of the killings themselves. 15 16 SERIAL MURDER Recently, a school shooting occurred in Colorado. Various news outlets erroneously reported the shooting as a spree killing. Last year in Nevada, a man entered a courtroom and killed three people. This, too, was erro- neously reported as a spree killing. Both should have been labeled instead as mass murder. The assigned labels by the media have little to do with motivations and anticipated gains in the original effort to label it some type of multicide.
