In America this view of equality is enshrined in the Declaration of Independence ("all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights") and the Constitution ("imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States" and "equal protection of the laws"). In 1935 President Franklin Roosevelt confirmed Ely's beliefs by turning the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which he had established, into a gigantic political machine to transfer money to key states and congressional districts to secure votes.

Far too many congressmen underestimate the political ramifications of passing a health care bill that may be unconstitutional. Far too few of them seem to understand why Obamacare's constitutionality is seriously in doubt. Consider the special Medicaid deal the Senate bill provided for Nebraska in order to buy the vote of Ben Nelson, that state's senior senator.

Their complaints obviously do not ring true. Additionally, many of these senators and representatives seem to think they can simply legislate confiscation of the bonuses. Even the president seems to think he or Congress can stop the payment of the bonuses or recoup the money. For supposedly intelligent people, these politicians don't seem to know much about the U.S. Constitution. President Obama likes to say that he taught constitutional law for 10 years. If he did,...

Professor Kent argues that in Boumediene and Munaf the Supreme Court mistakenly relied on the Insular Cases for its theory that enemies have constitutional rights during military conflict by (i) misreading the Insular Cases the Court cited, (ii) ignoring others that were relevant, and (iii) misunderstanding the relevant historical events.
