History, Tradition, the Supreme Court, and the First Amendment by ERWIN CHEMERINSKY* Introduction My advice to an attorney litigating a case before the current Supreme Court is to buy a copy of Blackstone's history of the common law or at least a good book on legal history. In virtually every area of constitutional law, the Supreme Court increasingly is relying on tradition as its guide in decisionmaking. Repeatedly, the Supreme Court has de- nied constitutional protection by holding that the claimed right was not historically protected. The Court is often explicit in stating that rights should be protected only if there has been a tradition of judicial safe- guards, and its analysis frequently is accompanied by a lengthy exegesis on common-law practices. I believe that this is a perverse and undesirable method of interpret- ing the Constitution. What has been done in the past cannot answer normatively what the law should be in the future. -
Legal Ethics
642 THE GEORGETOWN JOURNAL OF LEGAL ETHICS IDEOLOGY, JUDICIAL SELECTION AND JUDICIAL ETHICS ERWIN CHEMERINSKY Reprinted from THE GEORGETOWN JOURNAL OF LEGAL ETHICS Volume 2, Number 3, Winter 1989 Copyright © 1989 Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics 643 Ideology, Judicial Selection and Judicial Ethics ERWIN CHEMERINSKY* In the fail of 1986, there was a bitter fight against the retention of three members of the California Supreme Court, Rose Bird, Joseph Grodin, and Cruz Reynoso. Exactly a year later, the nation's attention focused on the battle over Robert Bork's confirmation to the United States Supreme Court. There were ironic parallels between these two events. In both instances, pub- lic opinion and media reporting played an unprecedented role in the judicial selection process. In each situation, there were arguments over whether the candidates' ideology should be a major factor in the evaluations. Liberals in California argued that assuring judicial inde- pendence required that the evaluation be limited to the justices' competence; that the individuals' ideology and prior votes should play no role in the re- tention election. But the sides were reversed in tflMMMMBtfMHMMWM the liberals who ^rgUcd that B<^^^~^v^ml^giig^t^bmtKHmmK tiv&jfem••91& prior votes asri^Bi^gJHBB^rtii^ Conservatives argued that evaluation should be limited to the nominee's competence—that his ide- ology and prior votes should play no role in the Senate's confirmation decision. A cynic might observe that these experiences reflect a pattern of public rhetoric.

THE REHNQUIST COURT AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE STEPHEN F. SMITH* INTRODUCTION This Conference, like a growing body of academic literature, discusses the phenomenon of conservative judicial activism. Has the Rehnquist Court been "activist"-whatever that means-in its approach to constitutional adjudication? With recent rumors that Chief Justice Rehnquist will soon announce his retirement, this is a particularly topical subject. Indeed, even now, one sees the first chiselings of the Court's epitaph, with Professor Erwin Chemerinsky, for example, declaring that the Rehnquist Court has been nothing short of a "disaster" due to its rampant conservative activism.1 The question of whether, and to what extent, the Rehnquist Court is "activist" or practices the "restraint" that judicial conservatives traditionally preach will likely figure prominently in the ultimate assessment of the Court's jurisprudence. Much of this Conference addresses this question within the context of the revival of federalism-based limits on Congress over the last decade. -

And his goal-in which he does not nearly succeed-is to show your work to be unacceptable to the left and the right alike. He fancies that he is offering a non-partisan, non-ideological, non-denominational challenge to your hegemony. -
