  • AUTONOMY: the LIBERATING BENEFITS of a SAFER, CLEANER, and MORE MOBILE SOCIETY America’S Love Affair with the Automobile Has Become a Cliché, Often a Snide One
    Labor of Love: A Fred Smith Story AUTONOMY: THE LIBERATING BENEFITS OF A SAFER, CLEANER, AND MORE MOBILE SOCIETY America’s love affair with the automobile has become a cliché, often a snide one. But in the early days, there was real passion. “You know, Henry, your car lifted us out of the mud,” a farmer’s wife living near Rome, Georgia, wrote to Henry Ford in 1918. “It brought joy into our lives. We loved every rattle in its bones.” Even American reformers and intellectuals were favorably inclined. In his 1916 book, The Romance of the Auto Industry, James Rood Doolittle expressed the belief that the car would “increase personal efficiency … make happier the lot of people who have led isolated lives in the country and congested lives in the cities; [and] … serve as an equalizer and a balance.” Conservationists saw the automobile as a great advance— no longer would vast quantities of fertile farmland be lost feeding horses. And, with mobility, rural youth might even stay on the farm, rather than rushing away to the big city. But those early positions have long vanished. Today’s intellectuals and reformers have little respect for the automobile—or for automobile culture. The car’s very convenience seems an indulgence, a waste of resources and money. “The Soviet Union’s greatest contribution to world peace was the fact that it did not put a car in every Soviet citizen’s garage,” says Ralph Nader. Political activists such as Nader have no monopoly on hostility to the automobile. Among the well-educated and well-to-do, nostalgia for train travel and paeans to subways are as common as complaints about traffic congestion.

  • 2013-2014 Wisconsin Blue Book
    STATISTICS: HISTORY 677 HIGHLIGHTS OF HISTORY IN WISCONSIN History — On May 29, 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state in the Union, but the state’s written history dates back more than 300 years to the time when the French first encountered the diverse Native Americans who lived here. In 1634, the French explorer Jean Nicolet landed at Green Bay, reportedly becoming the first European to visit Wisconsin. The French ceded the area to Great Britain in 1763, and it became part of the United States in 1783. First organized under the Northwest Ordinance, the area was part of various territories until creation of the Wisconsin Territory in 1836. Since statehood, Wisconsin has been a wheat farming area, a lumbering frontier, and a preeminent dairy state. Tourism has grown in importance, and industry has concentrated in the eastern and southeastern part of the state. Politically, the state has enjoyed a reputation for honest, efficient government. It is known as the birthplace of the Republican Party and the home of Robert M. La Follette, Sr., founder of the progressive movement. Political Balance — After being primarily a one-party state for most of its existence, with the Republican and Progressive Parties dominating during portions of the state’s first century, Wisconsin has become a politically competitive state in recent decades. The Republicans gained majority control in both houses in the 1995 Legislature, an advantage they last held during the 1969 session. Since then, control of the senate has changed several times. In 2009, the Democrats gained control of both houses for the first time since 1993; both houses returned to Republican control in 2011.

    Citizens Against Government Waste 2008 CONGRESSIONAL PIG BOOK ® SUMMARY “The Book Washington Doesn’t Want You to Read” Praise for CAGW and the Pig Book “Citizens Against Government Waste is Washington's leading opponent of pork-barrel spending. Its annual Pig Book, which lists the government's narrow giveaways, is used by news outlets worldwide to ridicule federal earmarks.” Jeff Birnbaum, The Washington Post, February 20, 2007. “Every taxpayer should read the Pig Book… Congress won't stop picking our pockets for wasteful pork projects in which the federal government has no business unless they are forced to by taxpayers. Read the Pig Book and weep. Then, get angry and do something.” Syndicated Columnist Cal Thomas, March 29, 2005 “Neither rain, nor sleet or snow, or war or a bumpy economy, it seems, can stop the pork train from pulling out of the congressional station. Citizens Against Government Waste has issued its annual Congressional Pig Book Summary… This year's budget may finally slay the myth that there is anyone who can credibly claim to be a fiscal conservative inside the Washington beltway.” Asheville Citizen Times, April 17, 2004 “Citizens Against Government Waste is a watchdog group that keeps track of which politicians squander the most federal money on ‘pork’ - those expenditures that are added after the normal budget process to help a particular group instead of the nation as a whole. ” John Stossell, 20/20 “I believe that this book should be read by every citizen in America…What is being done here by CAGW, in my view, is of the greatest importance.

  • 515683 Chicago Law Review 78.4 R1.Ps
    The University of Chicago Law Review Volume 78 Fall 2011 Number 4 © 2012 by The University of Chicago ARTICLES Reconstruction and the Transformation of Jury Nullification Jonathan Bressler† More than a century ago, the Supreme Court, invoking antebellum judicial precedent, held that juries no longer have the right to “nullify”—that is, to refuse to apply the law as given by the court. Today, however, in assessing the constitutionally protected right to criminal jury trial, the Supreme Court has emphasized originalism, delineating the right’s current boundaries by the Founding-era understanding of it. Relying on this Supreme Court jurisprudence, scholars and several federal judges have recently concluded that because Founding-era juries had the right to nullify, the right was beyond the authority of nineteenth-century judges to curtail and thus should be restored. But originalists who advocate restoration of the right to nullify are missing an important constitutional moment: Reconstruction. The Fourteenth Amendment fundamentally transformed constitutional criminal procedure, in the process altering the relationship between the federal government and localities and between federal judges and local juries. This Article (1) responds to what is an emerging consensus among these commentators that the Supreme Court’s prohibition of jury nullification cannot be justified on originalist or historical grounds and (2) provides new evidence of how the Fourteenth Amendment’s Framers, ratifiers, original interpreters, and original enforcers thought about juries, evidence that differs from the traditional perspective that the Reconstruction Congresses intended to empower juries. It finds that the Reconstruction Congresses understood the Fourteenth Amendment not to incorporate against the states the jury’s historic right to nullify, even as it incorporated a general right to jury trial.
