Avoid political isolation To the editor -- Herman Badillo, who as a Hispanic congressman from New York, led successful efforts to establish bilingual voting and bilingual education in 1974.

The traditional legal definition of citizenship in the U.S. is linked to the granting of full membership and access to political, social, and civil rights by the government, yet there are numerous examples of these rights not being granted to all people equally (Hernández-Truyol, 2005; Johnson, 2002a; Hernández-Truyol and Hawk, 2005).\n Our analysis focused more on cultural citizenship, but the narratives of our participants highlight that legal citizenship is a reality that shapes one's access to education, employment, and safety. A clear link to how one's legal status in this country affords certain legal rights is revealed in statements such as that of the kindergartener, fearing her mother would be sent back to Mexico, or of the university student mentors who told us of the amount ...

The beat goes on ... The United States remains mired in debt and two wars. Japan's massive reconstruction problems are indescribable and won't be fully resolved anytime soon. The Middle East is a powderkeg with a fuse that can be lit at any moment. Escalating oil prices hamper everyone and everything, both in this country and elsewhere, and early relief appears highly unlikely. Libya continues to thumb its nose at the civilized world while soaking its soil with the blood of people who dare to challenge an evil dictatorship.

Linda McClain and Jim Fleming have written a thoughtful critique of one of the main arguments in my recent book Towards Juristocracy: The Origins and Consequences of the New Constitutionalism. In focusing on an argument that occupies approximately one-third of the book, they inevitably overlook some of the book's other (and I'd humbly suggest, at least equally significant) arguments. Their review would have been more effective had they actually reviewed the entire set of arguments presented in the book, rather than drawing on one aspect of it as a benchmark against which they can stage their own views on the matters at stake. Our disagreements on method and substance notwithstanding, McClain and Fleming's review forces us to take a close look at, and perhaps refine our definitions of, p...
