Johnson, Jr. John Lewist For any student of the law, indeed for any person who believes in the values for which the Constitution of the United States stands, the name Frank Minis Johnson, Jr. should ring familiar. Frank Johnson was the best example of what this country can be. More than simply a model jurist, he was a model American. As debate rages today over the role of the judiciary and whether one should support the appointment of "strict constructionist" or "activist" judges to the bench, Judge Johnson's record stands above the fray. His career demonstrates the wisdom of those great Americans who drafted our Constitution. Our forefathers proved wise enough to provide the courts not only the moral authority-based in our Constitution and Bill of Rights and embodied in people like Judge Johnson-but also the independence necessary to exert that authority at those times when the bedrock of our freedom-the right of all Americans to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-is threatened.

  • Judicial Rhetoric and Radical Politics: Sexuality, Race, and the Fourteenth Amendment
    JUDICIAL RHETORIC AND RADICAL POLITICS: SEXUALITY, RACE, AND THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT BY PETER O. CAMPBELL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Speech Communication with a minor in Gender and Women’s Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Associate Professor Cara A. Finnegan Associate Professor Pat Gill Associate Professor Thomas O’Gorman Associate Professor Siobhan B. Somerville ABSTRACT: “Judicial Rhetoric and Radical Politics: Sexuality, Race, and the Fourteenth Amendment” takes up U.S. judicial opinions as performances of sovereignty over the boundaries of legitimate subjectivity. The argumentative choices jurists make in producing judicial opinion delimit the grounds upon which persons and groups can claim existence as legal subjects in the United States. I combine doctrinal, rhetorical, and queer methods of legal analysis to examine how judicial arguments about due process and equal protection produce different possibilities for the articulation of queer of color identity in, through, and in response to judicial speech. The dissertation includes three case studies of opinions in state, federal and Supreme Court cases (including Lawrence v. Texas, Parents Involved in Community Schools vs. Seattle School District No. 1, & Perry v. Brown) that implicate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s development and application of a particular form of Fourteenth Amendment rhetoric that I argue has liberatory potential from the perspective of radical (anti-establishmentarian and statist) queer politics. I read this queer potential in Kennedy’s substantive due process and equal protection arguments about gay and lesbian civil rights as a component part of his broader rhetorical constitution of a newly legitimated and politically regressive post-racial queer subject position within the U.S.

  • He Opposed Abolitionist Activism in the South and West
    BUCHANAN, DRED SCOTT, AND THE ELECTION OF 1860 Buchanan tried to maintain the status quo He opposed abolitionist activism in the South and West The crisis over slavery escalated when the Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott case A former slave whose master had taken him to territories where slavery was illegal, declared himself a free man and sued for his freedom The case finally wound up in the Supreme Court, where Scott lost Chief Justice Roger Taney who wrote the majority decision Taney's proslavery decision declared that slaves were property, not citizens and further, that no black person could ever be a citizen of the United States Taney argued they could not sue in federal courts, as Scott had done Moreover, he ruled that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories, as it had in the Missouri Compromise Taney essentially told Republicans that their goal -freedom for slaves in the territories- was illegal. In the North, the Supreme Court decision was viciously denounced. Meanwhile, the Democratic party was dividing along regional lines, raising the possibility that the Republicans might soon control the national government When it came time for the Democrats to choose their 1860 presidential candidate, their convention split. Northern Democrats backed Stephen Douglas, Southerners backed John Breckinridge A new party centered in the Upper South, the Constitutional Union party, nominated John Bell The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln Lincoln attracted 40 percent of the vote and won the election in the House of H/O Political

    PART IV EMPIRE AND DECLINE chapter26 THE RECORD little guy like me should never have had to write this book. A By the time the Kean Commission’s final report was released, a crucial prin- ciple of democratic government called “separation of powers” had quietly vanished. Nobody within the government seemed willing or able to defy the exec- utive’s mythical narrative of 9/11, even while the executive used the implications of that Big Lie to justify its every move. Massive war appropriations, the Patriot Acts, intelligence “reform,” Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, prison torture abroad, domestic roundups and detentions of Arabs and South Asians, and a hun- dred tangentially related usurpations of the powers Constitutionally reserved for the legislature and the judiciary — all were driven through by appeals to the offi- cial story of 9/11. It seems there are no independent voices of authority remaining outside the Empire’s control to challenge, temper or place limits on Imperial crimes and ambitions. There is only yet another Patrician seeking to replace Caesar on the throne and wear the Imperial purple. The Kean commission’s mandate The Kean Commission’s mandate was laid out in Public Law 107-306, signed by President Bush on November 27, 2002. SEC. 602. PURPOSES. The purposes of the Commission are to — (1) examine and report upon the facts and causes relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, occurring at the World Trade Center in New York, New York, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon in Virginia; (2) ascertain,

JUSTICE DELAYED, JUSTICE DELIVERED: THE BIRMINGHAM SIXTEENTH STREET BAPTIST CHURCH BOMBING AND THE LEGACY OF JUDGE FRANK MINIS JOHNSON JR. Kenneth M. Rosen* & Hon. W Keith Watkins** That delayed justice should be avoided in the United States legal system is fundamentally consistent with American aspirations of doing what is morally right. Answering criticism by other clergy of his civil rights activities, in his famed Letterfrom a BirminghamJail, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. referenced a jurist in proclaiming that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."1 The need for urgency in remedying injustice is clear.

  • The Greater Middle East Initiative: Regime Change, Neoliberalism and Us Global Hegemony*
    THE GREATER MİDDLE EAST INITIATIVE: REGİME CHANGE, NEOLIBERALISM AND US GLOBAL HEGEMONY* EDDIE J. GIRDNER ABSTRACT The George W. Bush Administration launched the Greater Middle East Initiative (GMEI) as "a forward strategy of freedom in the Middle East" in November 2003. The policy emerged as a central plank in the "vvar on terrorism" just as Operation Iraqi Freedom began to encounter stiff resistance to the US occupation of Iraq. Marketed as a "brand nevv strategy" of "ending autocracy" in the region and bringing democracy to those deprived of freedom, officials clainned the policy vvas designed to "clean up the messy fart of the vvorld." This article argues that the GMEI is not about vvaging democracy in the Middle East, but rather neo-Wilsonian ideological cover for the neoconservative agenda of controlling the entire vvorld by force. On the dravving board, the National Endovvment for Democracy (NED) and its affiliated organizations, vvorking clandestinely through US private transnational corporations, are to serve as conduits for the imperialist control of local political parties and elections. This vvill allovv for the neoliberal control of the region by US and Israeli capital, help to contain China and Europe through the control of oil, and bolster US capitalist accumulation. Ultimately, the US is certain to fail back on business as usual, supporting local autocracies vvhich serve "US national interests."
