This article introduces the major provisions of one signed and two proposed employment and labor legislation statutes (the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, the Employee Free Choice Act, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act) which are being openly discussed for possible enactment in the near future under the Obama administration. As this legislation is likely to result in increased administrative costs, compliance costs, and litigation costs for small business owners, each statute is examined in terms of its potential impact on small businesses' current employment policies and practices. We conclude by offering possible options for the small business community in dealing with the complexity of these issues.

Thomas Frank asserts that the Republican Party built a winning coalition in recent elections by convincing white working-class voters to cast their ballots on the basis of cultural wedge issues. Larry Bartels, conversely, argues that economic issues remain paramount to white working-class voters. The authors contend that the white working class is a more diverse bloc than both Frank's and Bartels's analyses suggest. Using data from the 2004 National Election Pool, their results show that there are significant political differences between white working-class voters in union households and those in nonunion households.

This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...
