WHEN CONGRESS PASSES AN INTENTIONALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW: THE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006 Paul A. Diller* When Congresspasses a law with the intent that it be invalidated or sub- stantially altered by the courts- "intentionally unconstitutional" legisla- tion-Congress abdicates its role as a co-equal interpreter of the Constitution. Intentionally unconstitutionallegislation is particularlyprob- lematic in the national-security context, in which the Supreme Court has traditionally relied upon Congress to assist it in defining the limits of execu- tive power. This Article argues that Section 7 of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which attempted to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear habeas petitions by alien enemy combatants held at Guantdnamo and other foreign sites, was intentionally unconstitutional legislation because some key legislatorssupported or facilitated the Act's passage while simul- taneously arguing that Section 7 violated the Constitution.

  • How America's Federalized Labor
    SOLIDARITY’S WEDGE: HOW AMERICA’S FEDERALIZED LABOR LAW DIVIDES AND DIMINISHES ORGANIZED LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alexis Nicole Walker May 2014 © 2014 Alexis Nicole Walker SOLIDARITY’S WEDGE: HOW AMERICA’S FEDERALIZED LABOR LAW DIVIDES AND DIMINISHES ORGANIZED LABOR IN THE UNITED STATES Alexis Nicole Walker, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Organized labor is one of the largest voluntary organizations in the United States, representing over 14 million members in a sophisticated network of local, state and national unions interconnected through labor councils, state organizations, and national federations that mount significant electoral and lobbying campaigns. Despite these apparent strengths, organized labor has suffered numerous setbacks including the continued failure to pass national labor law reform and the retrenchment of public sector collective bargaining rights in Wisconsin, which suggest they are less politically effective than we would expect given their membership and resources. Why does organized labor punch below its weight in American politics? This project emphasizes the important role of institutions—namely divided labor law and federalism—in shaping the composition, size, strength and effectiveness of organized labor in the American politics. Exclusion of public sector employees from the foundation of private sector labor law, the Wagner Act, or their own comparable national level law, firmly situated private sector law at the national level while relegating public sector employees’ efforts to gain collective bargaining rights to the state and local level.
