Freeing senators from party-leader retribution would be nice, but there is simply no way to do that without freeing senators from accountability to the people of the states (who themselves may prefer to be as intensely partisan as their leaders are in today’s moment), which is the whole point of popular election of senators.Follow @prof_amar Vikram David Amar is the Dean and Iwan Foundation Professor of Law at the University of Illinois College… [read post]

Perhaps the reason the Harris Court did not discuss justiciability at all is that the plaintiff’s allegations of significant partisan motivation were factually baseless in any event, but had Justice Scalia remained on the Court, I would not have been surprised to see him comment on whether the Court should be reaching the merits at all.As in so many other areas, the Court in this setting is different in his absence.Follow @prof_amar Vikram David… [read post]

In my last column, I began analyzing SB 396, a laudable but legally questionable effort by the California legislature to repeal, by ordinary legislation, provisions of Proposition 187, a 1994 voter-enacted measure that imposed harsh restrictions on unlawful immigrants in the State, restrictions that have since been blocked indefinitely by a federal district court judge.
