  • Nixon's Vietnam Threat
    Nixon's Vietnam threat An Editorial President Nixon's declaration that "we will not tolerate attacks which result in heavier casualties to our men at a time that we are honestly trying to seek peace at the conference table" has the sickening ring of the big-lie technique. With U.S. bombs raining down on South Vietnam to an extent never before known PAUL BOUTELLE in war; with more than half a million American men stationed in that country to carry out a genocidal war for the petty dictators in Saigon; it is clear who bears for Mayor of New York the blame for American and other casualties in that country. The administration's hypocritical outrage over the NLF response to their continuing warfare shows that now, as when Washing­ ton first launched its invasion, the purpose is to crush a national liberation struggle. Nixon is apparently indignant because the Vietnamese refuse to yield despite Washing­ ton's bombs. He also resents the fact that the NLF V ote actions help expose Washington's lying face in Paris. Nixon- like Johnson before him­ is using the Paris talks to lull the American people into believing that the end of the war is near and that Washington is seeking Socialist Workers peace. In reality, Washington is stepping up its aggression against South Vietnam. On Feb. 11, just three weeks before the new NLF offensive, the New York Times carried an analysis of U.S. objectives in South Vietnam, written by its chief Saigon correspondent, Charles Mohr. Mohr stated "the South Vietnamese plan to bring the number of hamlets with some security protection [read "Saigon control"] to more than 8,000 by April.

  • Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications
    Scrutinizing Federal Electoral Qualifications DEREK T. MULLER* Candidates for federal office must meet several constitutional qualifications. Sometimes, whether a candidate meets those qualifications is a matter of dispute. Courts and litigants often assume that a state has the power to include or exclude candidates from the ballot on the basis of the state’s own scrutiny of candidates’ qualifications. Courts and litigants also often assume that the matter is not left to the states but to Congress or another political actor. But those contradictory assumptions have never been examined, until now. This Article compiles the mandates of the Constitution, the precedents of Congress, the practices of states administering the ballot, and judicial precedents. It concludes that states have no role in evaluating the qualifications of congressional candidates—the matter is reserved to the people and to Congress. It then concludes that while states have the power to scrutinize qualifications for presidential candidates, they are not obligated to do so under the Constitution. If state legislatures choose to exercise that power, it comes at the risk of ceding reviewing power to election officials, partisan litigants, and the judiciary. The Article then offers a framework for future litigation that protects the guarantees of the Constitution, the rights of the voters, and the authorities of the sovereigns.
