The Republicans in Arizona think that the immigration law protects citizens and abides by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. But theJFourteenth Amendment to the Constitution is not only confined to the protection of citizens. It says: "Nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law." These provisions are universal in their application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction, without regard to any differences of race, of color, or nationality; and the equal protection of the law is a pledge of the protection of equal laws. Applying this reasoning to the Fifth and Sixth Amendments, it must be concluded that all persons within the territory o...

More importantly, the 14th defined citizenship by birth, "equal protection of the laws" "and that no state could "deprive any person life, liberty or property, without due process of law." The Supreme Court solidly backed these amendments in the 1870s Slaughterhouse Cases that ruled that laws apply equally to all and that the law could show no favoritism. Also, the proposed initiative would "limit welfare payments for the (American citizen) children of undocumented immigrants, as well as require that any application for public benefits submitted by illegal immigrants be handed over to federal authorities." No federal law requires such information of any other parent thus as most benefits are federally financed, this proposal is illegal. It is also illegal because it targets a "class" of...

I. Introduction The trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal, an African-American, for murder demonstrates how pernicious death qualification can be for minority prospective jurors.1 In Philadelphia, which at that time had a population that was forty-four percent African-American, the prosecutor was successful in striking twenty African-Americans from the venire using death qualification.2 The prosecutor then used his peremptory challenges to strike another eleven African-American prospective jurors who had not expressed any opposition to the death penalty, resulting in a jury that did not have any African- American members.3 Prosecutors in general have been known to utilize the death qualification process to produce a jury they believe is more favorable to the state.4 Death qualification has been ...

A day after voters approved Maryland's congressional redistricting map, the state's highest court heard several challenges to the redrawn state legislative districts. During roughly three hours of arguments Wednesday, the Court of Appeals reacted favorably to the reasoning of Dan Friedman, counsel for the General Assembly. Friedman argued that the court should "listen to" the special master in the case, retired Court of Appeals Judge Alan M. Wilner, who concluded in September that the map complies with the federal and state mandates that the 47 reconfigured districts be continuous, compact and of substantially equal population; gives due regard to natural boundaries and political subdivisions; and comports with the federal Voting Rights Act. "The state of Maryland requests the court fo...
