  • A Conservative Defense of Romer V. Evanst
    A Conservative Defense of Romer v. Evanst DALE CARPENTER" INTRODUCTION A conservative defense ofRomer v. Evans?' How could a conservative defend the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down a Colorado state constitutional amendment repealing and prohibiting local gay civil rights laws? Wasn't the decision an unprincipled departure from the intentions of the Framers, the language of the Constitution, and the traditions of the nation? Wasn't it, in short, the very archetype of liberal judicial activism abhorred by conservatives? Many conservatives, including conservative legal scholars, have apparently thought so. Evans has been blasted in the conservative opinion pages of the NationalReview2 and the Weekly Standard,3 among many other popular-press outlets.4 Conservative legal scholars have launched a frontal assault on Evans, starting with an attack in the HarvardJournal ofLaw & PublicPolicy. 5 These writers have called Evans "a result in search of a reason,"6 and "the most result-oriented decision issued by the U.S. Supreme Court since Roe v. Wade."' They even held out the threat that some people, I Copyright 2001 by Dale Carpenter. * Associate Professor, University of Minnesota Law School.

NORTH CAROLINA LAW REVIEW [Vol. 33 state corporation receives the same benefits and protection as intra- state vendors.20 If such an analysis is correct, the decision should have little prac- tical effect upon the present administration and collection of use taxes,21 because the way will have been left open to impose tax collecting obli- gations on foreign corporations which make deliveries into a taxing state after encroaching upon its markets by inducing (e.g., by direct advertising, mail and telephone solicitation, etc.) its customers to cross the state line for tax-saving purposes. On the other hand, if this decision means that such corporations may now escape liability, its effect will no doubt be to increase the number of merchants seeking to capitalize on the sales tax of neighboring states at the expense of the local market, thereby further increasing the difficulties of adminis- tration and collection of the use tax.

STATE REGULATION AND THE DORMANT COMMERCE CLAUSE Daniel A. Farber* The commerce clause empowers Congress to "regulate Com­ merce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."I Although it speaks only of congressional power, the clause has been interpreted to empower the federal courts to enjoin state laws that interfere unduly with interstate commerce.z Since the Marshall Court, the Supreme Court has continually modified its definition of the judicial role in overseeing state regula­ tion.3 The Court's current view of the so-called "dormant" com­ merce clause, in a nutshell, is as follows.4 State regulations having a discriminatory effect on interstate commerce are subject to stringent judicial scrutiny even if the discrimination was inadvertent.S On the other hand, regulations that burden interstate commerce without discriminating against it are subject to a less rigorous balancing test:6 a state law that burdens local and interstate commerce equally will be upheld if the law's local benefits outweigh the burden * Professor of Law, University of Minnesota.

Pearce, 395 U.S. 711 (1969). Respondent Pearce was convicted of assault with intent to commit rape and sentenced to a term of 12 to 15 years in prison. Upon seek- ing post-conviction relief, he was awarded a new trial at which he was again convicted and sentenced to an 8 year prison term which, when complemented by the time previously served, amounted to a greater penalty than that originally imposed. Similarly, respondent Rice pleaded guilty to four counts of second degree burglary, and was sentenced to prison for an aggregate term of 10 years for all 4 counts. These judgments were later set aside; respondent was retried on 3 of the original counts, convicted and sentenced to prison for a total of 25 years without compensation for time already served.

  • Why Equal Protection No Longer Protects: the Evolving Forms of Status-Enforcing State Action Reva Siegel*
    Why Equal Protection No Longer Protects: The Evolving Forms of Status-Enforcing State Action Reva Siegel* In this essay, ProfessorSiegel examines efforts to reform racialand gender status law in the nineteenth century in order to raise questions about the ways antidiscriminationlaw operates today. The essay demonstrates how efforts to dismantle an entrenched system of status regulationcan produce changes in its constitutive rules and rhetoric,transforming the status regime without abolish- ing it. PartI illustratesthis reform dynamic in the nineteenth century, a period when protest movements were demanding the abolition of slavery and reform of marital status law. Legislatures and courts responded by eliminatingsome of the more overtly hierarchicalfeatures of marital status law, yet adopted gender-biased policies governing domestic labor and domestic violence that were justified as promoting family privacy, rather than marital hierarchy. Similarly, in the aftermath of the Civil War, legislaturesand courts grantedthe newly emancipatedslaves "civil" rights, yet denied them "social" rights, ra- tionalizing miscegation laws and segregation as preserving associationallib- erty, ratherthan racialhierarchy. As these examples illustrate, the rules and reasons the legal system employs to enforce status relationshipsevolve as they are contested. PartII of the essay uses this dynamic model of status regulation to analyze the operations of equal protection law today.
