The Origins (and Fragility) of Judicial Independence Tara Leigh Grove* The federal judiciary today takes certain things for granted. Political actors will not attempt to remove Article II judges outside the impeachment process; they will not obstruct federal court orders; and they will not tinker with the Supreme Court's size in order to pack it with like-minded Justices. And yet a closer look reveals that these "self- evident truths" of judicial independence are neither self-evident nor necessary implications of our constitutional text, structure, and history. This Article demonstrates that many government officials once viewed these court-curbing measures as not only constitutionally permissible but also desirable (and politically viable) methods of "checking" the judiciary. The Article tells the story of how political actors came to treat each measure as "out of bounds" and thus built what the Article calls "conventions of judicial independence." But implicit in this story is a cautionary tale about the fragility of judicial independence.

There Are No Pequots on the Plains: Assessing the Success of Indian Gaming Kathryn R.L. Rand* INTRODUCTION “We had tried poverty for 200 years, so we decided to try something else.”1 Ray Halbritter was referring to his own tribe, the Oneida Indian Nation of New York, but the sentiment might have applied to each of the nearly 150 tribes that decided to pur- sue casino-style gaming during the 1990s as a means of tribal eco- nomic development. For the last decade, gaming tribes across the country have lauded the financial and social successes of their casinos. The tribes’ accounts largely have been corroborated by empirical research. In 1999, the National Gambling Impact Study Commission (NGISC) reported that Indian gaming has allowed tribes “to take unprecedented steps to begin to address the eco- nomic as well as social problems on their own.”2 In addition, a study conducted by the Harvard Project on American Indian Eco- nomic Development concluded in 2000 that both surrounding lo- calities and tribes benefit substantially from tribal casinos, particularly in the poorest areas of the country.3 Indeed, leading tribal gaming researchers recently concluded “the idea that the consequences of Indian gaming are largely negative, either for In- * Assistant Professor, University of North Dakota School of Law.

  • 30Th Anniversary “Pearl” Award
    Press release from the office of Maryland Governor Marin O’Malley Keith Campbell, Chairman of the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment received a special 30th Anniversary "Pearl" Award ANNAPOLIS, MD (October 19, 2009) –The Maryland League of Conservation Voters (LCV) honored Senator Barbara Mikulski with its annual John V. Kabler Memorial Award in recognition of her many achievements in protecting Maryland’s Land, Air and Water. The award recognizes outstanding environmental leadership and commitment. The environmental organization known for its annual legislative report cards also gave a special 30th Anniversary “Pearl” Award to Keith Campbell, Chairman of the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment, for his efforts to restore the Chesapeake Bay and combat global warming. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski, four term U.S. Senator has a thirty-five year record of public service in Maryland. She is a dedicated public servant who from her earliest days in the spotlight understood what was “Smart Growth” and what was not— long before anyone had ever heard the term.

A trailblazer in drawing attention to the effects of global warming on the Bay, Mikulski funds 85% of the nation’s climate change-related science as Chairwoman of Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Subcommittee. Her stalwart defense of the environment in Maryland is embodied in her support for building a green jobs workforce, protecting the Chesapeake Bay, and for a clean energy economy.

  • Lesson 4: Native American Issues
    To Be Recognized: Lessons on Contemporary Native American Issues By Wendy Ewbank Submitted to the Washington Society of the Colonial Dames of America In fulfillment of its Scholarship Program December 30, 2007 “One of the greatest obstacles faced by the Indian today in his desire for self determination is the American public’s ignorance of the historical relationship of the United States with Indian tribes and the lack of general awareness of the state of the American Indian in our society today.” - American Indian Policy Review commission, 1977 “Tribes are continuing to recoil from oppressive policies perpetrated at every level of government from the earliest days of contact. These policies serve to break up the continuity of Indian culture.” - Dr. Willard E. Bill, former supervisor of Indian Education at the Washington Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, 1987 Introduction With approximately 105,000 Indians, Washington State has the fifth largest Native American population, behind California (413,000), Arizona (294,000), Oklahoma (279,000) and New Mexico (approx. 200,000). As a percentage of the state’s population, however, Alaska is highest (16% of Alaska’s population is American Indian or Alaskan native). It is critical that educators in Washington State – especially at the secondary level – teach about contemporary issues facing Native Americans in our state and in the Northwest. Lessons at a glance 1) Myths vs. Realities - Beginning with students’ assumptions and questions, the lesson reveals many little known facts to address widespread misconceptions concerning Native American history and contemporary issues. 2) Views of Land/Resource Use – a Venn diagram exercise on Native American and European differences regarding their historic interactions with the environment.

Judicial Council of the Tenth Circuit and Its Unfortunate Legacy Abstract. In 1970, the United States Supreme Court issued Chandler v. Judicial Council of the Tenth Circuit in which five Justices determined that the federal courts of appeals possessed an administrative authority to manage the district court judges within an appellate court’s respective circuit. The decision enabled the Tenth Circuit to decide the fitness of a judge to preside over cases without a formal motion from a litigant.

    Gambling with Development: Casino Capitalism in South Africa and on Indian Lands in California Jeffrey J Sallaz Department of Sociology University of California Berkeley Table of Contents (And Proposed Chapter Structure) 1 – Introduction. 2 – Theoretical lit review. - The State, Capital, and Legitimacy - Gambling and Modernity 3 – History. - Colonialism in South Africa and the United States - Early Attempts at Independent Development 4 – Initial legalization. - South Africa - California 5 – Macro-structure of Industry. - South Africa - California 6 – Ethnographies of Industry Micro-structure - Management Structures - Labor Process - Physical Sites - Marketing 7 – Conclusion. 1 Introduction Casino gambling1 has traditionally represented a “pariah industry,” outlawed in all but the most distant, sparsely-populated locales and, even then, strictly regulated to prevent growth in both supply and demand(Skolnik 1978). While the rationale behind such prohibition and stigmatization has varied—from religious rejections of the immorality and irrationality of gambling to public concern over the proliferation of organized and street crime around casinos themselves (Reith 1999)—the need for casino operators to justify their existence, activities and operations has remained constant. In the words of Meyer (1977), a gambling industry represents an extreme case of an institutional field which must produce and disseminate myths legitimating its practices. Despite such stigmatized status, the past decade has witnessed a vast and rapid expansion of the casino industry throughout both the U.S. and world—the number of U.S. states permitting casinos increased from 2 to 27 from 1988 to 1999, while the number of countries increased from 77 to 109 (Nevada Gaming Control Board; Bear Stearns 2000; Eadington 1999; Thompson 1998).
