    COLUMBIA LAW REVIEW VOL. 99 DECEMBER 1999 NO. 8 GLOBALISM AND THE CONSTITUTION: TREATIES, NON-SELF-EXECUTION, AND THE ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING John C. Yoo* As the globalization of society and the economy accelerates, treaties will come to assume a significant role in the regulation of domestic affairs. This Article considers whether the Constitution, as originally understood, permits treaties to directly regulate the conduct of private parties without legislative implementation. It examines the relationship between the treaty power and the legislative power during the colonial, revolutionary, Framing, and early nationalperiods to reconstruct the Framers' understandings. It concludes that the Framers believed that treaties could not exercise domestic legislative power without the consent of Congress, because of the Constitution'screation of a nationallegislature that could independently execute treaty obligations. The Framers also anticipatedthat Congress's control over treaty implementa- tion through legislation would constitute an importantcheck on the executive branch'spower in foreign affairs.

  • Deconstructing the Administrative State: Chevron Debates and the Transformation of Constitutional Politics
    DECONSTRUCTING THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE: CHEVRON DEBATES AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS CRAIG GREEN* ABSTRACT This Article contrasts Reagan-era conservative support for Chevron U.S.A. v. NRDC with conservative opposition to Chevron deference today. That dramatic shift offers important context for understanding how future attacks on the administrative state will develop. Newly collected historical evidence shows a sharp pivot after President Obama’s reelection, and conservative opposition to Chevron deference has become stronger ever since. The sudden emergence of anti-Chevron critiques, along with their continued growth during a Republican presidency, suggests that such arguments will increase in power and popularity for many years to come. Although critiques of Chevron invoke timeless rhetoric about constitutional structure, those critiques began at a very specific moment, and that historical coincidence fuels existing skepticism about such arguments’ substantive merit. This Article analyzes institutional questions surrounding Chevron with deliberate separation from modern politics. Regardless of one’s substantive opinions about President Trump, federal regulation, or administrative deference, this Article identifies extraordinary costs to the legal system of overruling Chevron through mechanisms of constitutional law. * Professor of Law, Temple University Beasley School of Law; Ph.D., Princeton University; J.D., Yale Law School.

The standard conception of separation of powers presumes three branches with equivalent ambitions of maximizing their powers. Today, however, legislative abdication is the reigning modus operandi. Instead of bemoaning this state of affairs, this Essay asks how separation of powers can be reflected within the executive branch when that branch, not the legislature, is making much of the law today. The first-best concept of "legislature v. executive" checks and balances must be updated to contemplate second-best "executive v. executive" divisions. A critical mechanism to promote internal separation of powers is bureaucracy. Much maligned by both the political left and right, bureaucracy serves crucial functions. It creates a civil service not beholden to any particular administration and a cadre of experts with a long- term institutional worldview. This Essay therefore proposes a set of mechanisms that can create checks and balances within the executive branch in the foreign affairs area.

  • Brett Kavanaugh Nominee for the U.S
    Brett Kavanaugh Nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit Brief Biography • Age 39. Born February 12, 1965. • B.A. cum laude, Yale 1987. • J.D., Yale 1990. • Law Clerk for: o Walter Stapelton, Third Circuit, 1990-91. o Alex Kozinski, Ninth Circuit, 1991-92. o Anthony Kennedy, U.S. Supreme Court, 1993-94. • Attorney in the Office of U.S. Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, 1992-93. • Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, 1994-97, 1998. • Partner at Kirkland & Ellis, Washington, D.C., 1997-98 & 1999-2001. • Associate White House Counsel 2001-03. • Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary 2003-present. President Bush’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit exemplifies the White House’s reliance on ideology over merit in selecting judicial nominees. Kavanaugh appears to have been chosen for a D.C. Circuit seat only because of his involvement in some of the most ideologically charged issues of his time. As an associate counsel in the office of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, Kavanaugh, among other responsibilities: (1) pursued unfounded allegations that Clinton White House deputy counsel Vince Foster was murdered rather than committing suicide, (2) worked on the Monica Lewinsky investigation, and (3) drafted the grounds for impeachment section of the Starr Report Congress. Kavanaugh’s views of executive privilege reveal his excessive partisanship. In the Independent Counsel’s office, Kavanaugh was responsible for challenging the Clinton Administration’s claims of privilege, testing the boundaries of executive and other privileges in order to gain more information for the Starr investigation.

  • Visiting Judges
    Visiting Judges Marin K. Levy* Despite the fact that Article III judges hold particular seats on particular courts, the federal system rests on judicial interchangeability. Hundreds of judges “visit” other courts each year and collectively help decide thousands of appeals. Anyone from a retired Supreme Court Justice to a judge from the U.S. Court of International Trade to a district judge from out of circuit may come and hear cases on a given court of appeals. Although much has been written about the structure of the federal courts and the nature of Article III judgeships, little attention has been paid to the phenomenon of “sitting by designation”—how it came to be, how it functions today, and what it reveals about the judiciary more broadly. This Article offers an overdue account of visiting judges. It begins by providing an origin story, showing how the current practice stems from two radically different traditions. The first saw judges as fixed geographically, and allowed for visitors only as a stopgap measure when individual judges fell ill or courts fell into arrears with their cases. The second assumed greater fluidity within the courts, requiring Supreme Court Justices to ride circuit—to visit different regions and act as trial and appellate judges—for the first half of the Court’s history. These two traditions together provide the critical context for modern-day visiting. DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38ZK55M67 Copyright © 2019 California Law Review, Inc. California Law Review, Inc.
