  • Executive privilege disputes between the political branches shape the boundaries of presidential secrecy and congressional authority. Those disputes often give rise to calls for political rather than judicial resolution. The existing academic literature and judicial doctrine in this area offer limited theoretical accounts of when courts should abstain from or resolve the executive privilege disputes presented to them by the political branches. This Article provides an analytical framework for evaluating the outcomes provided by judicial and political resolution of executive privilege disputes and then explores how those evaluations inform judicial decisions to abstain from or resolve executive privilege disputes. Political resolution of these disputes produces constitutionally acceptabl...

  • Expounding all the outrages and inanities in the Troubled Asset Relief Act of 2008 (TARA) should not be attempted as a concession to the shortness of life. Accordingly, this column is confined to TARA's legal infirmities, although the concern may smack of quaintness among voters and the political elite who yawn at ever-escalating constitutional transgressions.
