TRIP Snap Poll XII January 2020 Introduction

TRIP Snap Poll XII January 2020 Teaching, Research & International Policy (TRIP) Project Global Research Institute (GRI) https://trip.wm.edu/home Principal Investigators: Susan Peterson, William & Mary Ryan Powers, University of Georgia Michael J. Tierney, William & Mary Data Contacts: Eric Parajon or Emily Jackson Phone: (757) 221-1466 Email: i [email protected] Methodology: We attempted to contact all international relations (IR) scholars in the U.S. We define IR scholars as individuals who are employed at a college or university in a political science department or professional school and who teach or conduct research on issues that cross international borders. Of the 4,752 scholars across the U.S. that we contacted, 971 responded. The resulting response rate is approximately 20.43 percent. The poll was open 10/30/2019-12/14/2019. Our sample is roughly similar to the broader International Relations scholar population in terms of gender, academic rank and university type. Our sample includes a higher percentage of men and a higher percentage of tenured and tenure track faculty than the overall scholar population. Introduction By Emily Jackson, Eric Parajon, Susan Peterson, Ryan Powers, and Michael J. Tierney We are pleased to share the results of the 12th Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) Snap Poll, fielded with the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Our polls provide real-time data in the wake of significant policy proposals, during international crises, and on emerging foreign policy debates. In this poll, we asked questions on the 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump’s foreign policy actions, and impeachment.

What Happened?: the 2020 Election Showed That Libertarians Have a Long Way to Go Before They Can Become a Page 1 of 4 National Movement

USApp – American Politics and Policy Blog: What Happened?: The 2020 election showed that libertarians have a long way to go before they can become a Page 1 of 4 national movement. What Happened?: The 2020 election showed that libertarians have a long way to go before they can become a national movement. In the 2020 presidential election, the Libertarian Party candidate, Jo Jorgensen, gained 1.2 percent of the vote, less than half the party’s 2016 election result. Jeffrey Michels and Olivier Lewis write that despite signs that pointed towards the potential for libertarian voters to be king makers in the 2020 election, their dislike of Donald Trump turned many to Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Following the 2020 US General Election, our mini-series, ‘What Happened?’, explores aspects of elections at the presidential, Senate, House of Representative and state levels, and also reflects on what the election results will mean for US politics moving forward. If you are interested in contributing, please contact Rob Ledger ([email protected]) or Peter Finn ([email protected]). In the 2016 US Presidential election, the former Republican Governor of New Mexico, Gary Johnson gained 3.3 percent of the national vote share, the highest on record for a Libertarian Party presidential candidate. This modest milestone could have been written off as the result of a race featuring two highly unpopular mainstream candidates, Donald Trump and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. But it might also have portended a more meaningful movement in US electoral politics, one in which a growing Libertarian Party – or at least an increasingly independent bloc of libertarian voters – gains the critical mass to tip the race.

Report of the Moderator James R. Repetti It was quite a year! I postponed the 2020 Annual Town Meeting, originally scheduled for May 4, three times due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A truncated meeting was finally held outdoors on June 29 at 11 a.m. on the Regional School football field. We considered and voted only upon articles that the Board of Selectmen had determined as being essential to the ongoing operation of the Town. The meeting was adjourned at 11:19 a.m., moments before a major thunderstorm occurred. Many citizens and friends of Dover helped plan and implement the meeting in a manner designed to reduce the risk for attendees. We are very grateful to Dr. Kevin Ban, a resident of Dover, Dr. John Brownstein, an epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School, and the Board of Health for their advice in helping us structure the meeting to minimize the health risk for all attendees. Town Clerk Felicia Hoffman coordinated and implemented their advice in an exemplary manner to ensure safe social distancing for all attendees and those working at the meeting. In addition, Assistant Moderator David Haviland, Police Chief Peter McGowan, and all the con- stables, checkers, counters, pages, registrars, and police officers provided invaluable service in assuring the safety of all attendees.
THE RHETORICAL POWER of LAW CLERKS, 40 Sw

THE RHETORICAL POWER OF LAW CLERKS, 40 Sw. L. Rev. 473 40 Sw. L. Rev. 473 Southwestern Law Review 2011 Articles THE RHETORICAL POWER OF LAW CLERKS Parker B. Potter, Jr. a1 Copyright (c) 2011 Southwestern Law School; Parker B. Potter, Jr. I. Introduction “Many believe confession is good for the soul,” 1 so I confess: Bless me, Readers, 2 for I have sinned; the title of this article is a swerve. 3 While a plain-meaning construction of my title might suggest that my topic is the rhetorical power wielded by law clerks when they draft opinions for their judges, 4 my actual topic is not law clerks as masters of rhetoric but, rather, law clerks-- or the idea of law clerks--as rhetorical devices employed by federal judges in their opinions. That is, I examine opinions in which judges have used their understanding of the role of the law clerk to make a point about something else, outside chambers and relevant to the case at hand. *474 The purpose of this article is two-fold. My first goal is to showcase snappy judicial writing. 5 Commentators too numerous to enumerate have criticized judicial writing for being dry, lifeless, and formulaic. 6 While some attempts to counter that trend have drawn criticisms of their own, 7 there is something to be said for a well-turned phrase, an apt metaphor, or a pithy example. The law-clerk references I highlight in this article certainly fall at least somewhat outside the rather small box that holds most judicial writing. My second goal is to turn the rhetoric around, using law-clerk references not to shed light on the world outside chambers--as the writing judge surely intended--but rather, to piece together a composite view of the institution of law clerking.
Just the Facts: a Monthly Report on the 2020 Presidential Candidates

Just the Facts: A Monthly Report on the 2020 Presidential Candidates Spotlight on Student Debt Democratic Presidential candidates are concerned about nationwide mounting student debt, now totaling almost $1.5 trillion.1 Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) plans to “roll back that debt…and make college universally available with free tuition and fees.”2 Sen. Bernie Sanders’ College for All Act would waive tuition at public colleges and cap interest rates on loans, since “we can give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to people who don't need it.”3 Other supporters of free tuition at public institutions include Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI)4, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH),5 author Marianne Williamson,6 Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ),7 and former Housing Secretary Julian Castro,8 who also would exclude for-profit colleges from federal aid programs. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) cosponsored the College for All Act and called for the cancellation of student debt related to for-profit colleges.9 Not in favor of free college, Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D- IN) admits having “a hard time…with the idea of a majority who earn less because they didn’t go to college subsidizing a minority who earn more because they did.”10 Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) supports loan forgiveness and refinance options, but does not support free college, “I wish…we could afford it.”11 Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced legislation to modify the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program “to expand the number of people who can qualify for the program and receive student loan forgiveness.”12 Former Vice President Joe Biden also has proposed expanding access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, with special provisions for educators.13 Former Rep.

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.
