A popular myth in American constitutional law is that the "strict scrutiny" standard of review applied to enforce rights such as free speech and equal protection is strict in theory and fatal in fact. In recent years, however, this traditional understanding of strict scrutiny's inevitable deadliness has been challenged, most notably by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Rather than create insurmountable hurdles that indiscriminately invalidate laws, O'Connor argued, the fundamental purpose of strict scrutiny is to take relevant differences into account. This article contributes to this debate by offering a systematic empirical study of strict scrutiny in the federal courts. There is one area of law in which strict scrutiny has been widely recognized to be less than fatal in practice: free exe...

While Fayyad's cabinets have not been able to extend their authority outside of West Bank cities and towns, the resumption of Israeli revenue transfers (Israel collects a large portion of Palestinian tax revenues when goods destined for Palestinian markets pass through Israeli ports) and a massive international assistance effort has assured the fiscal health of the Ramallah-based PA since June 2007. West Bank civil servants have been paid almost regularly, despite some unpaid arrears and delays in assistance delivery; debilitating restrictions on movement have been diminished; and the Ramallah PA security services have cracked down on Hamas and launched a law-and-order campaign on West Bank streets, which have earned Israeli praise and facilitated the partial relaxation of strangulatin...
