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.

[...] like Costa Rican President Oscar Arias' San Jose Accords, the new U.S.-brokered agreement came under fire from critics over claims that inviting Micheletti to the bargaining table as an equal only further solidifies his position as a legitimate actor with a political status commensurate to that of Zelaya. Since the day of the coup, the OAS and Latin American heads of state have doughtily insisted that the results of the November elections would not be recognized without Zelaya's prior restitution. [...] the U.S. has a responsibility to the Honduran people to use whatever means necessary to reestablish a legitimate government and assure that the ouster of a democratically-elected president will not be accepted nor tolerated under any circumstances.

Those opposed to the law - which allows a majority of parents at a failing school to file a petition forcing a change of administration or charter takeover - have been fighting it since it was adopted, trying to subvert the regulations to water down the law. This time, they may succeed in not just watering down the law, but killing it outright.
