  • August 25, 2021 the Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General
    MARK BRNOVICH DAVE YOST ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL August 25, 2021 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General 950 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Re: Constitutionality of Illegal Reentry Criminal Statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1326 Dear Attorney General Garland, We, the undersigned attorneys general, write as chief legal officers of our States to inquire about your intent to appeal the decision in United States v. Carrillo-Lopez, No. 3:20-cr- 00026-MMD-WGC, ECF. 60 (D. Nev. Aug. 18, 2021). As you know, in that decision, Chief Judge Du found unconstitutional 8 U.S.C. § 1326, the statute that criminalizes the illegal reentry of previously removed aliens. We appreciate that you recently filed a notice of appeal, preserving your ability to defend the law on appeal. We now urge you to follow through by defending the law before the Ninth Circuit and (if necessary) the Supreme Court. We ask that you confirm expeditiously DOJ’s intent to do so. Alternatively, if you do not intend to seek reversal of that decision and instead decide to cease prosecutions for illegal reentry in some or all of the country, we ask that you let us know, in writing, so that the undersigned can take appropriate action. Section 1326, as part of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, is unremarkable in that it requires all aliens—no matter their race or country of origin—to enter the country lawfully. In finding the law racially discriminatory against “Latinx persons,” Chief Judge Du made some truly astounding claims, especially considering that, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, Mexico has more legal permanent residents in the United States, by far, than any other country.1 Chief Judge Du determined that, because most illegal reentrants at the border are from Mexico, the law has an impermissible “disparate impact” on Mexicans.

    Hon. Merrick Garland Attorney General of the United States United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20530 July 9, 2020 Re: Support for Granting Clemency to Individuals Placed on Home Confinement Pursuant the CARES Act Dear Attorney General Garland: I write on behalf of Law Enforcement Leaders to Reduce Crime & Incarceration, a national coalition including over 200 current and former law enforcement officials, across the political spectrum, dedicated to protecting public safety and reducing unnecessary incarceration. We are deeply troubled by the U.S. Department of Justice’s (“DOJ”) inaction as it pertains to the approximately 4,500 individuals who face the threat of reincarceration due to the prior administration’s January 15, 2021, Office of Legal Counsel memo (“OLC memo”). The OLC memo advises that these individuals — placed on home confinement pursuant the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act — be returned to full custody in federal prison upon the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.1 For the reasons outlined below, we respectfully urge the DOJ to recommend that President Biden grant clemency to these individuals, who have already been safely returned to their communities.2 Enacted by Congress in March of 2020, the CARES Act granted the Attorney General emergency authority to expand home confinement as long as emergency conditions “materially affect” the functioning of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).3 As a result, Attorney General Bill Barr directed the BOP to place eligible incarcerated

  • June 7, 2021 the Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General
    June 7, 2021 The Honorable Merrick Garland Attorney General of the United States The Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530-0001 Cc: Joe Gaeta, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Dear Attorney General Garland, We write you today to follow up on a letter was sent to U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr on August 20, 2019. That correspondence is included as a separate attachment. We wrote at the time because we were concerned about reports regarding the involvement of agents of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in recent Brazilian prosecutorial and judicial proceedings which have generated substantial controversy and are perceived by many in Brazil as a threat to democracy and rule of law in that country. This issue is still of concern to us today. Regrettably, we did not receive a substantive response from Attorney General Barr to the questions we raised at the time. Given your demonstrated commitment to government transparency, rule of law and impartial justice in both the United States and throughout the world, we trust that you will respond to our earlier inquiries with more detail and substance. Since August of 2019, there have been important developments in Brazil. In March of this year, the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) annulled the outstanding convictions against former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, also known as President Lula. These convictions resulted from a Brazilian prosecutorial and judicial process, also known as the Lava Jato operation, that raised serious questions about impartial justice and due process in the former President’s case.

  • Judicial Genealogy (And Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts
    The Judicial Genealogy (and Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts BRAD SNYDER* During his Supreme Court nomination hearings, John Roberts idealized and mythologized the first judge he clerkedfor, Second Circuit Judge Henry Friendly, as the sophisticated judge-as-umpire. Thus far on the Court, Roberts has found it difficult to live up to his Friendly ideal, particularlyin several high-profile cases. This Article addresses the influence of Friendly on Roberts and judges on law clerks by examining the roots of Roberts's distinguishedyet unrecognized lineage of former clerks: Louis Brandeis 's clerkship with Horace Gray, Friendly's clerkship with Brandeis, and Roberts's clerkships with Friendly and Rehnquist. Labeling this lineage a judicial genealogy, this Article reorients clerkship scholarship away from clerks' influences on judges to judges' influences on clerks. It also shows how Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts were influenced by their clerkship experiences and how they idealized their judges. By laying the clerkship experiences and career paths of Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts side-by- side in detailed primary source accounts, this Article argues that judicial influence on clerks is more professional than ideological and that the idealization ofjudges and emergence of clerks hips as must-have credentials contribute to a culture ofjudicial supremacy. * Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School.

    Hon. Mitch McConnell United States Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 May 5, 2016 Re: Statement of Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Regarding Nomination of Judge Merrick Garland as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court We, the undersigned members of the Board of Directors and Trustees of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, write to present our Statement Regarding the Nomination of Judge Merrick Garland as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Since its creation in 1963 at the urging of President John F. Kennedy, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has been devoted to the recognition and enforcement of civil rights in the United States. While we have seen significant progress, the challenges of unlawful discrimination remain. Recognizing the Supreme Court’s critical role in civil rights enforcement and the central role that the Court plays in our democracy, the Lawyers’ Committee has long reviewed the record of nominees to the Court to determine if the nominee demonstrates views that are consistent with the core civil rights principles for which we have long advocated. Every term, critical cases come before the Supreme Court concerning issues of great public importance, including cases concerning the interpretation and application of the Constitution and federal civil rights laws. In evaluating nominees to the Court, the Lawyers’ Committee has employed a rigorous standard with two distinct components: (1) exceptional competence to serve on the Court, and (2) profound respect for the importance of protecting the civil rights afforded by the Constitution and the nation’s civil rights laws.
