Ford Attorney General State of Nevada 100 North Carson Street Carson City, NV 89701 Re: Request for investigation of potential Nevada open public meeting violation and election irregularities Dear Attorney General Ford: Nevadans rightly prize honest and fair elections, as well as transparency in governmental decision making. Unfortunately, recent deeply troubling events in Clark County have placed both of those interests under attack. On behalf of the Republican National Committee and the Nevada Republican Party, I ask you to investigate under NRS 241.039 whether those events violated Nevada’s open public meeting law, and to investigate under NRS 293.840 whether the consequences of Clark County’s decisions have violated Nevada’s election laws. I. Background In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske announced in March 2020 that the June 9 primary would be an all-mail election. As you know, the Democratic National Committee and the Nevada State Democratic Party—together with a handful of related entities and individual plaintiffs—were not content with the Secretary’s plan. They sued her; the head elections officials in Clark, Washoe, and Elko Counties; and you in the First Judicial District Court in Carson City. See Corona et al. v. Cegavske et al., No. CV 20-OC- 00064-1B. 1 The Republican National Committee and Nevada Republican Party intervened as defendants because the plaintiffs there challenged long-standing, common-sense Nevada laws expressly designed to further Nevada’s constitutional interest in “preserv[ing] the purity of elections.” Nev.

  • Congressional Overspeech

    Congressional Overspeech

    ARTICLES CONGRESSIONAL OVERSPEECH Josh Chafetz* Political theater. Spectacle. Circus. Reality show. We are constantly told that, whatever good congressional oversight is, it certainly is not those things. Observers and participants across the ideological and partisan spectrums use those descriptions as pejorative attempts to delegitimize oversight conducted by their political opponents or as cautions to their own allies of what is to be avoided. Real oversight, on this consensus view, is about fact-finding, not about performing for an audience. As a result, when oversight is done right, it is both civil and consensus-building. While plenty of oversight activity does indeed involve bipartisan attempts to collect information and use that information to craft policy, this Article seeks to excavate and theorize a different way of using oversight tools, a way that focuses primarily on their use as a mechanism of public communication. I refer to such uses as congressional overspeech. After briefly describing the authority, tools and methods, and consensus understanding of oversight in Part I, this Article turns to an analysis of overspeech in Part II. The three central features of overspeech are its communicativity, its performativity, and its divisiveness, and each of these is analyzed in some detail. Finally, Part III offers two detailed case studies of overspeech: the Senate Munitions Inquiry of the mid-1930s and the McCarthy and Army-McCarthy Hearings of the early 1950s. These case studies not only demonstrate the dynamics of overspeech in action but also illustrate that overspeech is both continuous across and adaptive to different media environments. Moreover, the case studies illustrate that overspeech can be used in the service of normatively good, normatively bad, and * Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center.
