PROVO -- Brigham Young University students peppered U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts with questions Tuesday after he spoke before 7,080 people in the Marriott Center.
Roberts declined to answer hot-button questions about Guantanamo Bay detainees, gay marriage, Roe v. Wade, religion and political candidates such as Mitt Romney and some aspects of privacy law. He said judicial ethics forbade him from doing so because related cases may come before the court in the near future and because judges avoid political debates.

[...] although this Essay focuses on privacy costs, Part IV briefly discusses what a broader understanding of these costs might mean for both constitutional jurisprudence and wise policy around disclosure in election law. 147 Classic disclosure cases allowing the NAACP to withhold the names of its members explicitly rely on protection of the individual members' rights, and allow the organizations to assert those personal rights on their behalf.148 A corporation, a political action committee, or a tax-exempt social welfare organization each has a legal identity that brings with it certain election-related rights - arguably more rights than ever after Citizens United v. FEC49 But these entities do not have individual privacy rights like natural persons do.150 Corporations cannot bring to...

The article focuses on the most recent, and most relevant, of the cases, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia's decision in Department of the Air Force, Dover Air Force Base v. Federal Labor Relations Authority.3 The courts, particularly the Dover AFB court, have made several errors which have forced government agencies to invite unions to participate in mediation of discrimination complaints brought by its bargaining unit members. The courts' errors include: deferring to the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA)4 in its interpretation of a statutory process governed by the EEOC, failing to consider the text of the Civil Rights Act (Title VII)5 in its analysis of a process mandated by that Act, using a Labor statute to determine if a process created by Title VII is...

Many scholars bemoan recent court decisions that all but abolish the Fourth Amendment in public schools. Both scholars and dissenting judges largely confine these protests to the impact upon students and rights within the schoolhouse gate, perhaps because courts themselves purport to limit their decisions to the school context. This Note looks critically at recent school-search jurisprudence with a different concern: that diluting the Fourth Amendment rights of students in public schools dilutes the Fourth Amendment rights of all Americans. It explores the interactions between school-search cases and other search cases and argues that these interactions produce a "Domino Effect"; as courts revise legal standards and show great deference for school searches in an effort to uphold them, t...
