  • Sotomayor August 11 Mgdc NEED NEW GRAPHS
    “Not that Smart”: Sonia Sotomayor and the Construction of Merit Guy-Uriel Charles, Daniel L. Chen & Mitu Gulati Duke University School of Law Abstract The appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court in 2009 was criticized as sacrificing merit on the altar of identity politics. According to critics, Sotomayor was simply “not that smart”. For some conservative critics, her selection illustrated the costs of affirmative action policies, in that this particular choice was going to produce a lower quality Supreme Court. For liberal critics, many were concerned that the President, by selecting Sotomayor, was squandering an opportunity to appoint an intellectual counterweight to conservative justices like Antonin Scalia, Samuel Alito and John Roberts. Using a set of basic measures of judicial merit, such as publication and citation rates for the years 2004-06, when Sotomayor was on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, we compare her performance to that of her colleagues on the federal appeals courts. Sotomayor matches up well. She might turn out to be more of a force on the Court than the naysayers predicted. “NOT THAT SMART”: SONIA SOTOMAYOR AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF MERIT Guy-Uriel Charles Daniel L. Chen Mitu Gulati1 I. “NOT NEARLY AS SMART AS SHE SEEMS TO THINK SHE IS” When President Barack Obama was considering whether to nominate to the Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor, then a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, a prominent law professor, Laurence Tribe, wrote a letter to the President opposing Sotomayor’s potential nomination on the ground that “she’s not nearly as smart as she seems to think she is.”2 While Tribe’s assessment was intended as a private communication, others were saying something similar in public.

  • Presidential Power to Terminate International Agreements Harold Hongju Koh Abstract
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL FORUM N OVEMBER 12, 2018 Presidential Power to Terminate International Agreements Harold Hongju Koh abstract. Could President Trump unilaterally remove the United States tomorrow from all of the thousands of international agreements to which the United States is currently a party? Com- mon sense would suggest no, but the conventional wisdom among legal academics has leaned the other way. This Essay argues that the conventional wisdom is wrong: the Constitution affords the President no general unilateral power to terminate or withdraw from any international agreement, without regard to its subject matter. Neither historical practice nor Supreme Court precedent dic- tates that conclusion, nor does the Court’s misunderstood nonjusticiability holding forty years ago in Goldwater v. Carter. Constitutional, functional, and comparative-law considerations all cut the other way. Instead of a blanket unilateral power of presidential termination, this Essay suggests that the Constitution requires a “mirror principle,” whereby the degree of legislative approval needed to exit an international agreement must parallel the degree of legislative approval originally required to enter it. Such a mirror principle makes the degree of legislative approval required to enter or exit any particular agreement “substance dependent,” turning on which branch of gov- ernment has substantive constitutional prerogatives to make law in any particular area of foreign policy. The Essay concludes by suggesting better foreign policy mechanisms, more reflective of modern realities, to guide America’s process of agreement unmaking in the future. introduction Could Donald Trump unilaterally withdraw the United States from the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and other major longstanding treaties and international organizations? These scenarios are neither unforeseeable nor hypothetical.

LECTURE ON CONSTITUTIONAL LAW Paying “Decent Respect” to World Opinion on the Death Penalty Harold Hongju Koh* TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTERNATIONAL LAW AS PART OF OUR LAW.................................. 1087 * Harold Hongju Koh, Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law, Yale University; U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, 1998-2001. This essay grows out of the 2001 Edward L. Barrett, Jr. Lecture on Constitutional Law, delivered at the University of California, Davis School of Law on November 7, 2001. It arises, in part, from my work as counsel for amici curiae Diplomats Morton Abramowitz, et al., before the U.S. Supreme Court in McCarver v. North Carolina, No. 00-8727 (U.S. cert. dismissed Sept. 25, 2001) and Atkins v. Virginia, No. 00-8452 (U.S. argued Feb. 20, 2002) . It also draws upon presentations given to the Yale Law School Schell Center Human Rights Workshop and the Connecticut Bar Foundation Symposium on the death penalty, and from shorter articles published in the New York Times and on the Project Syndicate website, www.project-syndicate.org. I am deeply grateful to Dean Rex Perschbacher, Associate Dean Kevin Johnson, and many other friends for their gracious hospitality during my visit to King Hall: Judge David F.

  • Courts Under Pressure: Protecting Rule of Law in the Age of Trump
    COURTS UNDER PRESSURE: PROTECTING RULE OF LAW IN THE AGE OF TRUMP NOVEMBER 10, 2017 ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. Among our core priorities, we fight to protect voting rights, end mass incarceration, strengthen checks and balances, maintain the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, and preserve Constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part public interest law center, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion. Since its founding two decades ago, the Brennan Center for Justice has emerged as a national leader in the movement for democracy reform. The Fair Courts project at the Brennan Center pursues research, policy advocacy, and litigation to promote and preserve norms of judicial independence and equal justice for all, safeguard courts against political pressure and special interest influence, and promote a diverse bench. ABOUT THIS CONVENING With our democracy under strain, the courts are on the front lines, constraining the executive and other government actors in cases that regularly put our judicial system in the public eye. Courts have also been put on defense. The President has suggested the courts should be blamed for terrorist attacks, targeted judges for their decisions, and pardoned a government official who refused to follow court orders.
