Here. FWIW I view the regulation of inactivity under the commerce clause as outrageously unconstitutional -- that is, you mandate that individuasl buy insurance or else pay a fine or fee. But I'm not sure the same thing could not be accomplished under, say, the income tax laws. Why not say everybody has to pay a certain amount as an income tax, unless you are exempt because you have purchased a qualifying health insurance policy? Doubtless legal scholars will educate us on this point. But put… [read post]

[My seminar picks for 2024 (and every year since 2005).] Each fall, I teach a seminar called Recent Books on the Constitution. I initially designed this course when I visited Georgetown in 2005. At that time, because I tend to read what relates directly to my current projects, I felt that I was not keeping up with the literature. By assigning recent books on the Constitution to read as part of my teaching, I would actually read them. This has really worked for me. I have now read a lot of books on… [read post]

Here's a question for our nonoriginalist readers--and it's not intended to be a trick question. If President Trump won't choose the type of justice you wish he would--defined however you like--would you prefer he replaced Justice Kennedy with: (a) A self-described living constitutionalist/multiple modalities/common-law-constitutionalist/moral-readings--pick your fave--justice who shares President Trump's political and moral views or (b) A self-described originalist? Or, to put… [read post]

I was recently asked on Twitter for a list of books--other than my own--on the Constitution "from a libertarian perspective." Because, I don't think that's a good criteria for selecting books, I instead recommended books on the Constitution that--regardless of their authors' perspectives--should be of special interest to conservatives and libertarians. I thought it would post an expanded version of my list here (with apologies to the many I have neglected to mention). In… [read post]

What he said about his judicial philosophyI have long agreed that judicial philosophy is a relevant qualification for appointment to the judiciary. By "judicial philosophy," I mean the nominee's views of the proper method of interpreting and applying the text of the Constitution, and of the proper role of the judiciary in a constitutional republic. For this reason, in my view, Democrats may justifiably base their opposition to an otherwise "highly qualified" Republican… [read post]

The Declaration of Independence used to be read aloud at public gatherings every Fourth of July. Today, while all Americans have heard of it, all too few have read more than its second sentence. Yet the Declaration shows the natural rights foundation of the American Revolution, and provides important information about what the founders believed makes a constitution or government legitimate. It also raises the question of how these fundamental rights are reconciled with the idea of "the consent… [read post]

Jonathan has a nice post on the end of the "Kennedy Court." Just as Justice Kennedy replaced Justice O'Connor as the "swing" justice, it seems reasonable to anticipate that Chief Justice Roberts will be replacing Justice Kennedy as the new swing vote--a role he's likely to be pretty happy with. If it's true that whoever is the swing justice tends to have the most power and influence, then this change could truly mark the beginning of a genuine "Roberts… [read post]

Josh Blackman and I are producing a series of short videos for Wolters Kluwer called "The Constitutional Canon" in which we discuss, the facts, posture, holding and historical context of the principal Supreme Court decisions studied in every constitutional law course. Students can use these videos in advance of class to be more fully prepared. We have completed a pilot series, which will eventually consist of over 60 videos. Law students who use our casebook, "Constitutional Law:… [read post]
