  • Conservative Progressivism in Immigrant Habeas Court: Why Boumediene V
    CONSERVATIVE PROGRESSIVISM IN IMMIGRANT HABEAS COURT: WHY BOUMEDIENE V. BUSH IS THE BASELINE CONSTITUTIONAL MINIMUM JOSHUA J. SCHROEDER ∞ ABSTRACT This article opens with a presentation of the six baseline holdings of Boumediene v. Bush as an expression of the basic constitutional minimum required under the Suspension Clause for all habeas cases. Then it describes the Circuit split that gave rise to DHS v. Thuraissigiam, which distinguished Boumediene according to the Court’s Conservative Progressive ideology. In Thuraissigiam, this ideology was symbolized by Landon v. Plasencia that favored Mathews v. Eldridge post- racial balancing tests to real justice. Then this article exposes the reasons why Thuraissigiam should be distinguished in all future cases, as Justice Sotomayor contended, according to its highly individualized, narrow set of circumstances. For as Sotomayor wrote in dissent, Thuraissigiam is “nothing short of a self-imposed injury to the Judiciary, to the separation of powers, and to the values embodied in the promise of the Great Writ.” As such, its rationale should not be followed or repeated, as it may soon fall into the same kind of disrepute as cases like Korematsu, Plessy, and Buck v. Bell. In an unrelated matter USAID v. Alliance For Open Society, the Court attempted to rewrite the holdings of Boumediene as the opposite of what they were sub silentio. The Court should not be allowed to apply Boumediene as if it held the opposite of what it actually held. So fundamental is the holding of Boumediene to basic liberty in America that if the Court fails to rediscover the baseline holdings of Boumediene for whatever reason, it is possible the nation could founder.

  • The Hugers South Carolina
    The Hugers of South Carolina by T. Tileston Wells, Litt. D. I. Col. Francis Kinloch Huger In 1776 there landed at North Island, near Georgetown, South Carolina, two men who had come from Europe to join the Ameri, can forces, and who were to play important parts in the War of American Independence. One was the Marquis de Lafayette and the other the Baron de Kalb. The pamphlet ''Olmutz'' says that there may have been three, the two mentioned and Baron von Steuben, but I regard that as most unli~ely. Their landing at that point was not intended, but was due to the presence of British cruisers and their fear of capture should they attempt to sail into Charleston harbour, their destination. Landing on North Island they went to the house of Major Benjamin Huger (the uncle of Mrs. John Wells, the second wite of the distinguished lawyer John Wells, III., 1770,1823),* as that was the most important house on that part of the coast. They were hospitably received and enter, tained, and afterwards were taken by Major Huger to Charles, ton, whence they journeyed North to offer their services to Congress. At the time of Lafayette's visit to North Island, Major Huger's son, Francis Kinloch Huger, who was destined to play in after years such an important role in the dramatic life of Lafayette, was only three years old, having been born in Charleston in September, 1773. In 1779 Major Benjamin Huger was killed before the lines of Charleston. Two years later his widow being advised to send her son to England on account of his delicate health, entrusted the boy to a stranger, a young Englishman, returning to his country, who placed the lad then eight years old in a public school, and except for a brief visit to South Carolina, when he was about eighteen years old, he remained abroad till the completion of his education and medical studies, the latter under the distinguished surgeon, Mr.

    The United States Courthouse, Washington, D.C. — Courtesy, The National Archives AN ANECDOTAL HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 1801-1976 By MATTHEW F. McGUIRE SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE "When the public mind is agitated, when wars, and rumors of wars, plots, conspiracies and treasons excite alarm, it is the duty of a court to be peculiarly watchful lest the public feeling should reach the seat of justice, and thereby precedents be established which may be come the ready tools of faction in times more disastrous. The worst of precedents may be established from the best of motives. We ought to be upon our guard lest our zeal for the public interest lead us to overstep the bounds of the law and the Constitution; for although we may thereby bring one criminal to punishment, we may furnish the means by which an hundred innocent persons may suffer. "The Constitution was made for times of commo tion. In the calm of peace and prosperity there is seldom great injustice. Dangerous precedents occur in dangerous times. It then becomes the duty of the judi ciary calmly to poise the scales of justice, unmoved by the arm of power, undisturbed by the clamor of the multitude . ." —William Cranch, Chief Judge, dissenting: United States v. Bollman and Swartout, D. C. Reports 1, Cranch 1, December Term 1806 at Washington (January 23, 1807). Foreword This is not intended in any sense as a formal history of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Anecdotal and episodic, its only purpose is to point up the great traditions of a great Court, a Court unique in origin yet an integral part of the fed eral system.

INTRODUCTION: THE IMPORTANCE OF HABEAS HISTORY The modem U.S. debate over habeas history' is about the proper scope of the writ of habeas corpus; to what extent should a federal habeas court be able to review and overturn state prisoner claims of unlawful imprisonments? The history of habeas corpus is relevant because the controversy is premised, in part, on the historical limits to the scope of habeas corpus. The question is: to what extent ought those limits continue to confine the Great Writ now? Proponents of an expansive scope for the writ' and those who 'See, e.g., WILLIAM F.

INTRODUClION In an attempt to escape from Bowers v. Hardwick's1 apparent stranglehold on same-sex conduct, some opponents of the military's exclusionary policy have searched for alternative, "status-based" arguments to support an equal protection challenge.2 In Hardwick, the Supreme Court held that a state's criminalization of same-sex sodomy does not violate the rights to privacy and substantive due process.3 Federal courts have expanded Hardwick's reach on two fronts. First, some federal courts have reasoned that Hardwick's due process holding forecloses an equal * Director, Lesbian and Gay Rights and AIDS Project, American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.

    EAST FRONT OF THE CAPITOL AS DESIGNED BY LATROBE Drawing by the architect, signed and dated 1810. Only the wings had already been built. Presented to the Maryland Historical Society, 1897, by Charles H. Latrobe. WS4 c5C .5^/ -I-/a MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE VOL. XXXVII DECEMBER, 1942 No. 4 BENJAMIN HENRY LATROBE: THE MAN AND THE ARCHITECT By TALBOT HAMLIN Benjamin Henry Latrobe, more than any other one man, was the creator in America of the architectural profession, as well as the instigator of a new kind of architecture. He came to this country only a few years after the successful conclusion of the Revolutionary War had made it a nation; through his efforts and the efforts of the men he taught and influenced, its architec- ture became national and no longer colonial. He brought to the country a new vision of the dignity of classic simplicity. He showed the country the inspiration to be gathered from the per- fection of ancient Greek buildings. He thus performed in this country almost the same function performed in England at about the same time by a man twelve years his senior. Sir John Soane. It is a somewhat disgraceful irony that even here in America there are more people who know the work and the genius of the Eng- lish architect than those who know equally well the work and the genius of Latrobe. There were many similarities between them. Both revolted against a worn-out tradition of older Georgian or Colonial Renais- sance and Baroque; both felt that the nineteenth-century world demanded an architecture clearer, simpler, more powerful; both had to fight the entrenched supporters of the older forms; and both designed works of revolutionary import, which set the entire architectures of their respective countries on a different road.

The Society's manuscript holdings at that time were estimated to be 2,500,000 items, contained in 1,141 listed collections. Within the last decade, these holdings have increased approximately 60%, so that now some 4,000,000 items are to be found in 1,609 collec- tions. Furthermore, whereas in 1940 only 30% of the manuscripts were arranged for ready use by students, today 98% are so arranged. During the past ten years, we have also made every effort to improve the manuscript catalogue which has grown from 200,000 to 500,000 cards. In spite of this tremendous increase, the number of items covered by each card has been reduced from 12.5 in 1940 to 8.0 at present. This represents real progress, but much work remains to be done. Excluding our holdings of foreign manuscripts, which number some 200,000 items of considerable importance, our collections deal primarily with Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.

    George Washington Papers, Series 2, Letterbooks 1754-1799 *To WILLIAM TILGHMAN Philadelphia, March 31, 1794. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 23d. instt. came duly to hand. The laws, in the cases of both Mr. George and Mr. Chalmers, must regulate my conduct. To do all that these will permit, is enough for my justification, more I shall not covet. If, however, as I conceive the fact assuredly is, the latter Gentleman has actually received, and did not pay a hundred pounds which was put into his hands as part of a Bond due to the estate of ColvilI (and was then bearing interest) it would seem but justice that he should allow interest for that sum when applied to his own use; but if there is a principle arising from analogy or reciprocity opposed thereto I must be content with what Mr. Chalmers will pay, and this I am disposed to in order that my Administration of the estate of Colo. Colvill may be finally closed. With respect to Mr. George, I had rather his acct. should be settled and a new bond taken for the whole balance payable at a given time (when he will be punctual, and by which the money can be drawn from Mr. Chalmers) than to receive part this spring and the residue in the Fall; because the demands upon Colvills estate (except the residuary legacy) have all been discharged; and because the money that is due had better remain at interest than lye dead in my hands or subject me perhaps to the payment of it.
