Professors Bruce Ackerman and Yochai Benkler published an open letter in the New York Review of Books with signatures from many law professors (including the present writer), calling for the administration to justify publicly the precise grounds for Private Manning’s extraordinary conditions of detention (which include forced nudity, regular sleep disruption, and solitary confinement) and to end any procedures not justified.

Rose.Can't help, though, but be concerned about the dearth of women on this list (reflective, no doubt, of the proportion in the academy as a whole, an issue that my deans, Kevin Johnson and Vik Amar, tackle in this new column on need for faculty diversity).And can't help harbor concern about the fact that not 1 woman is on Brian's list of Ten Most Cited Faculty 2005-2009; indeed, the list drops a full 660 citations to get to the 1st woman (Kathleen Sullivan) below the 10th man… [read post]

. *** As emphasized by Lawrence Lessig in Republic, Lost (presaged somewhat in Ayres’ book with Bruce Ackerman, Voting With Dollars), the bulk of campaign finance dollars comes disproportionately from not just the 1% club, but the richest one-half of one-percenters. [read post]

Even presented with compelling arguments that law schools are doing OK – in letters by Yale professor Bruce Ackerman, say, or op-eds by FIU prof Stanley Fish – their conviction that a misguided educational system is responsible for a misguided profession cannot and will not be swayed. [read post]

(A variant of this view is Bruce Ackerman's proposal for a "framework statute," to be enacted before the next attack, that would structure executive emergency powers). [read post]

The most interesting question for me, as one interested in models of long-term structural constitutional change, is which version of living originalism – one that emphasizes punctuated equilibria and relatively large scale regime changes (see Bruce Ackerman and Akhil Amar) or one that emphasizes change in particular areas through social/intellectual/political movements, which may be ongoing, and incremental (see Jack Balkin, Reva Seigel, Robert Post, e.g.) best captures the… [read post]

[UPDATE: It is, in fact, the sort of "grand bargain" that Bruce Ackerman and Oona Hathaway proposed several weeks ago.]The Lugar Amendments, therefore, might prove to be an ingenious compromise that might be acceptable to a majority of House members, in a way the stand-alone Kerry/McCain resolution was not.One other loose end: The second Lugar amendment also provides that, "[c]onsistent with section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. 1547(a)(1)),… [read post]

The only time ideology came up in a negative way during numerous interviews with big-name New York and DC firms was when a conservative partner grilled me about the fact that I had been an RA for liberal Yale professor Bruce Ackerman (an exchange that didn’t end up costing me the offer, though I did get rejected on the grounds that the hiring committee thought I was too likely to become an academic, as also happened at several other firms).

Alternatively, countries could modify the electoral system to account for incumbency advantages -- the authors consider a version of Bruce Ackerman's "supermajoritarian escalator" in suggesting that incumbents should have to gain ever-higher shares of the voters each time they run for re-election (plurality in the first run, majority in the second, 55% in the third, and so on).The broader point is that, regardless of whether one generally thinks fixed executive… [read post]

This would be a constitutional change of some significance.Routing around the filibuster might not be a "constitutional moment" in Bruce Ackerman's sense, because one might argue that the Democrats have not yet won a succession of strong majorities in Congress as they did during the New Deal, representing overwhelming popular support for change.

This much is a lesson of recent scholarship by Bruce Ackerman, Reva Siegel, and Robert Post.New constitutional entitlements like the right to bear arms baptized in 2008, on this account, crest on waves of popular mobilization.Architectonic change to fundamental constitutional structures, familiar from Reconstruction and the New Deal, necessitates multiple political sallies by majorities engorged with populist fire.
