  • From: What Brown V
    The following is excerpted from: What Brown v. Board of Education Should Have Said: America's Top Legal Experts Rewrite America's Landmark Civil Rights Decision, Jack M. Balkin, ed. (New York University Press 2001), pp. 3-8. It appeared as an article in the Winter 2002 issue of the Yale Law Report. Brown as Icon In the half century since the Supreme Court's 1954 decision, Brown v. Board of Education has become a beloved legal and political icon. Brown is one of the most famous Supreme Court opinions, better known among the lay public than Marbury v. Madison, which confirmed the Supreme Court's power of judicial review, or McCulloch v. Maryland, which first offered an expansive interpretation of national powers under the Constitution. Indeed, in terms of sheer name recognition, Brown ranks with Miranda v. Arizona, whose warnings delivered to criminal suspects appear on every police show, or the abortion case, Roe v. Wade, which has been a consistent source of political and legal controversy since it was handed down in 1973. Even if Brown is less well known than Miranda or Roe, there is no doubt that it is the single most honored opinion in the Supreme Court's corpus. The civil rights policy of the United States in the last half century has been premised on the correctness of Brown, even if people often disagree (and disagree heatedly) about what the opinion stands for. No federal judicial nominee, and no mainstream national politician today would dare suggest that Brown was wrongly decided. At most they might suggest that the opinion was inartfully written, that it depended too much on social science literature, that it did not go far enough, or that it has been misinterpreted by legal and political actors to promote an unjust political agenda.

Aaron was, and is, at war with the basic principles of democratic government, and at war with the very meaning of the rule of law.” — Attorney General Edwin Meese III (1986)2 I. INTRODUCTION The greatest Supreme Court opinions are complex heroes. They have those attributes that make people recognize them as great: the strategic brilliance and bold assertion of the authority of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison;3 the common-sense refutation of the fallacies that justified racial segregation in Brown v. Board of Education;4 the recognition that something as fundamental as a right to privacy must be a part of our constitutional protections in Griswold v.

Intraparty Organization in the U.S. Congress by Ruth Frances Bloch Rubin Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Eric Schickler, Chair The purpose of this dissertation is to supply a simple and synthetic theory to help us to understand the development and value of organized intraparty blocs. I will argue that lawmakers rely on these intraparty organizations to resolve several serious collective action and coordination problems that otherwise make it difficult for rank-and-file party members to successfully challenge their congressional leaders for control of policy outcomes. In the empirical chapters of this dissertation, I will show that intraparty organizations empower dissident lawmakers to resolve their collective action and coordination challenges by providing selective incentives to cooperative members, transforming public good policies into excludable accomplishments, and instituting rules and procedures to promote group decision-making.

  • Lyndon Johnson and Albert Gore
    historian_88.qxp 20/12/2005 12:54 Page 8 Feature Lyndon Johnson and Albert Gore: — PROFESSOR A.J. BADGER Southern New Dealers And The Modern South LBJ and Albert Two Southern New Dealers Gore, Al’s father, Lyndon Johnson and Albert Gore were elected to Congress within a year of each other in helped to 1937-38. They were elected in the old style of patronage-oriented southern Democratic transform the Party politics in which a plethora of candidates, with few issues to divide them, contested Southern States. primary elections. Both circumvented the local county seat elites who usually delivered their counties' votes by taking their case directly to the people, mounting vigorous campaigns to establish their name recognition. Johnson reached out to the tiniest and most isolated communities in his district and completely overturned the 'leisurely pace normal in Texas elections.' Gore played the fiddle with a small band to attract a crowd on Saturday afternoons in courthouse squares across his district. But if they started their political lives in the traditional, old, rural South, their careers – LBJ till he stood down from the Presidency in 1968 in the face of the intractable war in Vietnam, Gore till he was defeated as the no I target of the Nixon Southern Strategy in 1970 – spanned the creation of the modern South. In no small measure they themselves contributed to the collapse of the poor, rural, white supremacy South and the creation of a prosperous, urban, bi-racial South. Their careers saw the replacement of the props that had underpinned

  • S:\OHP\Mcclure Oral History\Final\Preface.Wpd
    PREFACE The Senate Committee on Labor, Education, and Public Welfare was a catchall committee which handled legislation on health, education, labor, veterans' affairs, juvenile delinquency, problems of the aging, and sundry other subjects. For many years the Senate's conservative "Inner Club" looked upon the committee as a convenient place to assign and isolate their more liberal colleagues. The committee labored long each session only to see its handiwork stalled on the Senate floor or blocked in the House of Representatives. Yet, under the effective chairmanship of Lister Hill, and his successors Ralph Yarborough and Harrison Williams, the Labor Committee produced a series of landmark social legislation, much of which was enacted during the heyday of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Stewart E. McClure served as the committee's chief clerk during this turning point era, from 1955 to 1969, and from 1971 to 1973. In these oral history interviews he recounts the committee's frustrations and its triumphs, and recalls its most significant members, such as Wayne Morse, John Kennedy, Joseph Clark, Jacob Javits, Barry Goldwater, and Everett Dirksen. As chief clerk he attended and took minutes for all executive sessions, scheduled hearings, oversaw the staff, assisted the chairman, drafted speeches, and served as an "idea man." One of his ideas was to link education to defense in the wake of the Soviet Sputnik scare, a proposal which resulted in the National Defense Education Act. McClure discusses both legislation and the legislative process, and the senators and staff who shaped American lawmaking from the 1950s to the 1970s. He also gives candid assessments of the internal politics and stresses of committee life during those years.

  • Origin of the Southern Manifesto
    ORIGIN OF THE SOUTHERN MANIFESTO Early in 1956 Senator Strom Thurmond began approaching Southern Senators with the suggestion that they get together and issue a declaration of their views against the Supreme Court's desegregation decision of May 17, 1954, Senator Harry Byrd expressed a deep interest, so Senators Thurmond and Byrd began working together to get the meeting. In the meantime, Senator Thurmond prepared the first draft of what he thought the declaration should contain. This draft was completed and mimeographed on February 6, 1956. Later he reworked the first draft into a second draft, which was then presented to the first meeting of Southern Senators called by Senator Walter George, at the request of Senators Thurmond and Byrd. There was some delay in getting this meeting called because some of the Senators were against issuance of such a manifesto, and some felt it would be of no benefit to the overall fight against the Court's decision. One point that helped get the meeting was an indication that Senators Thurmond and Byrd might issue such a mani­ festo themselves, with as many as would sign without a meeting. Another contributing factor was the thought that such a meeting with issuance of a declaration might be helpful to Senator George in the tough re-election campaign he was expecting to face that year. As the Senior Southerner, Senator George called the meeting in his office on February 8, 1956. At the first meeting Senator George appointed a committee to prepare and submit to the group a draft of the document.

Manning An Undergraduate Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the University Honors Scholars Program Honors College Mentor: Dr. Andrew Battista East Tennessee State University 1 Abstract The period of 1936-1964 in the Democratic Party was one of intense factional conflict between the rising Northern liberals, buoyed by FDR’s presidency, and the Southern conservatives who had dominated the party for a half-century. Intertwined prominently with the struggle for civil rights, this period illustrates the complex battles that held the fate of other issues such as labor, foreign policy, and economic ideology in the balance. This thesis aims to explain how and why the Northern liberal faction came to defeat the Southern conservatives in the Democratic Party through a multi-faceted approach examining organizations, strategy, arenas of competition, and political opportunities of each faction.
