Lochner's Legacy's Legacy Lochner的遗产

Avoiding "Lochner's error" remains a primary focus of constitutional law and constitutional scholarship. Debate, however, continues regarding just what that error was. In Cass Sunstein's oft-cited 1987 Columbia Law Review article, Lochner's Legacy, Sunstein argues that the Lochner era Court's primary error was not its purported "judicial activism." Rather, the primary problem with Lochner was the Justices' belief that market ordering under the common law was part of nature rather than a legal construct, and formed a baseline from which to measure the constitutionality of state action, rendering redistributive regulations unconstitutional. Lochner's Legacy's understanding of the Lochner era has been widely accepted in legal circles, including by four current Supreme Court Justices. As conservative and liberal Justices continue to battle over the meaning of Lochner and its significance for modern constitutional jurisprudence, the liberal Justices have adopted Lochner's Legacy's historical thesis. This Article examines three major historical claims Lochner's Legacy makes about the Lochner era: (1) that the Lochner era Supreme Court understood the common law "to be part of nature rather than a legal construct"; (2) that the Lochner era Court sought to preserve what it saw as the "natural," "status quo" distribution of wealth against redistributive regulations; and (3) that the abandonment of Lochner resulted from the Supreme Court's recognition that the problem with Lochner and its progeny was that the Court in those decisions mistakenly treated government inaction as the "baseline" to determine the constitutionality of government regulations. This Article argues that all three of these propositions are demonstrably incorrect.
避免“洛克纳的错误”仍然是宪法和宪法学术研究的主要焦点。然而,关于这个错误究竟是什么,争论仍在继续。1987年,卡斯·桑斯坦在《哥伦比亚法律评论》上发表了一篇经常被引用的文章《洛克纳的遗产》。桑斯坦认为,洛克纳时代法院的主要错误不是其所谓的“司法激进主义”。相反,洛克纳案的主要问题在于法官们认为,普通法下的市场秩序是自然的一部分,而不是一种法律结构,并形成了衡量国家行为合宪性的基准,从而使再分配法规违宪。洛克纳的遗产对洛克纳时代的理解已被法律界广泛接受,包括四位现任最高法院大法官。当保守派和自由派大法官继续就洛克纳案的意义及其对现代宪法学的意义争论不休时,自由派大法官采纳了洛克纳案的历史论点。本文考察了《洛克纳的遗产》对洛克纳时代提出的三个主要历史主张:(1)洛克纳时代最高法院将普通法理解为“自然的一部分,而不是一种法律结构”;(2)洛克纳时代法院试图维护它所认为的“自然的”、“现状的”财富分配,反对再分配法规;(3)放弃Lochner案是因为最高法院认识到Lochner案及其后续案件的问题在于,法院在这些判决中错误地将政府不作为作为确定政府法规是否合宪性的“基线”。本文认为,这三个命题显然都是不正确的。

The Enabling Role of Democratic Constitutionalism: Fixed Rules and Some Implications for Contested Presidential Elections 民主宪政的赋能作用:固定规则和对有争议的总统选举的一些启示

This article explores the preconditions for the transfer of power within democratic regimes. Invariably, constitutional discussion of the necessary preconditions for a successful, peaceful transition to power focuses primarily on rights guarantees to the defeated minority. The minority must be assured of the ability to proclaim its views in the future, the ability to assemble and to organize itself, the ability to be secure in their person and property - in short, much of the formation of rights associated with democratic liberties. But just as surely as the rights domain is necessary for a rudimentary formulation of democratic legitimacy, it is also incomplete. Just as central are the structural protections, which include the obligation to stand for election anew at some fixed or relatively fixed interval, the limitations on the powers of office, and the accountability of the governors to the structures of office, as exemplified in this country by the divisions of powers among coordinate branches of power. This article focuses on the structural components of constitutionalism as a necessary constraint on democratic politics. This precommitment necessarily thwarts or limits deliberative choices after constitutional enactment, yet serves as a precondition for the functioning of democratic politics. The article focuses on the work of political theorists Jon Elster and Stephen Holmes to argue that current constitutional scholarship underestimates the importance of constitutional obduracy. The article concludes with a reexamination of the Florida electoral crisis of 2000 from the vantagepoint of the entrenchment of ex ante constitutional procedures.
本文探讨了民主政权内部权力转移的先决条件。关于成功、和平地向权力过渡的必要先决条件的宪法讨论,总是主要集中在对被打败的少数的权利保障上。必须保证少数人有能力在未来发表自己的观点,有能力集会和组织自己,有能力在人身和财产方面得到保障- -总之,在很大程度上形成与民主自由有关的权利。但是,正如权利领域对于民主合法性的基本表述是必要的一样,它也是不完整的。同样重要的是结构性保护,其中包括每隔一段固定或相对固定的时间重新参加选举的义务,对公职权力的限制,以及州长对公职结构的责任,在这个国家,协调的权力部门之间的权力分工就是例证。本文主要探讨宪政作为民主政治的必要约束的构成要素。这种预先承诺必然会阻碍或限制宪法制定后的审议选择,但却是民主政治运作的先决条件。本文关注政治理论家乔恩·埃尔斯特(Jon Elster)和斯蒂芬·霍姆斯(Stephen Holmes)的工作,认为当前的宪法学术低估了宪法顽固性的重要性。文章最后从事前宪法程序的立场出发,重新审视了2000年佛罗里达州的选举危机。

In this essay, I respond to the position, taken by the Solicitor General of the U.S. Dept. of Justice in Chavez v. Martinez, 122 S.Ct. 2326 (2002) and by Professor Steven Clymer in 112 Yale L.J. 447 (2003), that the police are free to disgregard Miranda. I suggest that the privilege against self-incrimination is best viewed as a ban on certain official conduct outside of a criminal trial, not as an evidentiary rule. The Supreme Court in Kastigar v. United States, by blessing prosecutorial grants of immunity pursuant to statute, did not intend to extend this same authority to police officers in back rooms. I further argue that a deliberate violation of any right invoked under Miranda should give rise to a viable civil rights claim. Scholarly attacks on Miranda are simply misdirected unhappiness with the privilege itself. Finally, I suggest that the tragic events of September 11, 2001, do not warrant the abandonment of the privilege in ordinary domestic criminal cases.
在这篇文章中,我回应了美国司法部副部长在查韦斯诉马丁内斯案(122 s.c.)中所持的立场。2326(2002)和Steven Clymer教授在112 Yale L.J. 447(2003)中指出,警察可以自由地无视米兰达。我认为,不自证其罪的特权最好被视为禁止刑事审判之外的某些官方行为,而不是作为证据规则。在卡斯提加尔诉美国案中,最高法院虽然根据规约准许检察官享有豁免权,但并不打算将同样的权力扩大到密室里的警察。我进一步认为,蓄意侵犯《米兰达》规定的任何权利,都应提出切实可行的公民权利主张。对米兰达的学术攻击只不过是误导了对特权本身的不满。最后,我认为,2001年9月11日的悲惨事件不能成为在普通国内刑事案件中放弃特权的理由。

The Congressional Competition to Control Delegated Power 国会控制授权的竞争

I. Introduction When passing legislation, Congress routinely delegates considerable discretionary authority to administrative agencies. To control its grant of power, Congress relies primarily on two instruments: statutory language limiting agency discretion and ex post oversight by congressional committees. Political scientists who study these forms of control disagree about their relative effectiveness, but they tend to assume that committees work on behalf of Congress to see that agencies remain faithful to the majority's preferences. Thus, in the conventional understanding, the internal delegation of oversight authority to congressional committees helps to regulate the external delegation of authority from Congress to administrative agencies. We argue that this use of internal delegation is a gamble. Contrary to the conventional view, committee members sometimes defy majority preferences rather than reinforce them. This split occurs because individual committee members, to further their own interests, vie for control over agencies, both with each other and with past enacting majorities. Just as Congress creates a principal-agent problem when it delegates administrative power to agencies, so does it create an internal accountability problem when it delegates oversight power to committees. Indeed, one delegation might exacerbate the other. Together, this "double delegation" creates a significant risk that sub-majorities of Congress will ultimately direct agency implementation of statutes in a way not only unforeseen by the enacting majority, which expresses its preferences in law, but also unapproved by the current majority due to imperfect control over committees.1 We call the former problem "disjointed majoritarianism"2 because it arises when congressional majorities shift over time. Playing off Alexander Bickel's famous characterization of the judiciary, we call the latter problem the sub-majoritarian difficulty.3 In this Article, we challenge the undifferentiated view of congressional control over delegated power, which assumes that oversight committees will enforce the wishes of a congressional majority.4 Our argument arises against the backdrop of three decades of debate over whether agencies are sufficiently accountable to Congress. While some scholars argue that Congress effectively controls agency discretion,5 others insist that agencies remain substantially autonomous despite congressional efforts to rein them in.6 The worry animating this scholarship is that agencies, insulated from direct electoral sanction and equipped with informational advantages their overseers lack, will drift from their statutory obligations out of self-interest, vulnerability, or ineptitude.7 To mitigate this risk, Congress relies heavily on its committees. Because members of these committees are members of, and deputies for, the larger Congress, commentators tend to treat them as if the two sets of preferences perfectly align. As a result, when an agency is
在通过立法时,国会通常会将相当大的自由裁量权委托给行政机构。为了控制其权力的授予,国会主要依靠两种工具:限制机构自由裁量权的法定语言和国会委员会的事后监督。研究这些控制形式的政治学家对它们的相对有效性持不同意见,但他们倾向于假设委员会代表国会工作,以确保机构始终忠于多数人的偏好。因此,在传统的理解中,监督权力的内部授权给国会委员会有助于规范从国会到行政机构的外部授权。我们认为,这种内部授权的使用是一种赌博。与传统观点相反,委员会成员有时无视多数人的偏好,而不是强化它们。之所以出现这种分裂,是因为委员会的个别成员为了增进自己的利益,相互之间以及与过去的多数党议员争夺对机构的控制权。正如国会在将行政权力委托给各机构时造成了委托代理问题一样,它在将监督权委托给各委员会时也造成了内部问责问题。事实上,一个代表团可能会使另一个代表团恶化。总之,这种“双重授权”造成了一个重大风险,即国会的次多数最终将以一种不仅是制定多数无法预见的方式指导机构实施法规,而且由于对委员会的控制不完善,也不会得到当前多数的批准我们称前一个问题为“脱节的多数主义”,因为当国会多数席位随着时间的推移而发生变化时,就会出现这种问题。借用亚历山大·比克尔(Alexander Bickel)对司法机构的著名描述,我们把后一个问题称为次多数主义困难在本文中,我们挑战国会对授权的控制的无差别观点,这种观点假设监督委员会将执行国会多数人的意愿我们的论点是在三十年来有关政府机构是否对国会充分负责的辩论的背景下提出的。虽然一些学者认为国会有效地控制了机构的自由裁量权,但另一些人坚持认为,尽管国会努力约束它们,但机构仍然基本上是自主的使这一学术研究活跃起来的担忧是,那些不受直接选举制裁、拥有监督者所缺乏的信息优势的机构,将出于自身利益、脆弱性或无能而偏离其法定义务为了减轻这种风险,国会严重依赖其委员会。因为这些委员会的成员都是大国会的成员和代表,评论人士倾向于把他们视为两套偏好完美地结合在一起。因此,当一个机构被指控失控或被认为失控时,一般的假设是,受到指责的机构既违反了监督委员会的规定,也违反了这些委员会所代表的更大的国会。此外,评论人士往往不区分立法多数的意愿和后来的国会或委员会的偏好。其结果是,人们倾向于将不同负责人的利益与负责机构监督的国会委员会成员的偏好混为一谈。我们认为,在这种情况下,委托人和代理人之间可能存在跨期竞争,但尚未得到充分探讨。具体来说,机构对国会忠诚的要求增加了至少三个主体之间竞争的可能性:制定多数、现任多数和监督委员会现任成员。在我们看来,最好将国会视为竞争对手的集合,他们争夺对授权给各机构的权力的控制权。…

Does Civil Justice Cost Too Much 民事司法成本太高了吗

This article reviews empirical studies of litigation costs for the purpose of learning whether they support a particular version of the claim that civil justice processes consume too many resources. The inefficiency claim considered posits that these processes could transfer the same number of dollars to the same recipients at far less cost. The belief that costs can be reduced while keeping redistributive effects constant is a mainstay of the tort reform movement and the movement for alternative dispute resolution. The article argues that it should not be possible to reduce dollar-transfer costs dramatically without also changing distributive outcomes because parties should already be acting rationally to minimize these costs. Settlements and judgments are exchanges at prices set by parties or courts. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect litigants to act like exchange partners more generally and to minimize the cost of transacting. The review of empirical studies of discovery costs, alternative dispute resolution, litigation costs, and other subjects supports the suggestion that parties are acting rationally.
本文回顾了诉讼成本的实证研究,目的是了解它们是否支持民事司法程序消耗过多资源的特定版本。考虑的低效率主张假设这些过程可以以低得多的成本将相同数量的美元转移给相同的接收者。在保持再分配效应不变的情况下可以降低成本的信念是侵权改革运动和替代性争议解决运动的支柱。这篇文章认为,在不改变分配结果的情况下,大幅降低美元转移成本是不可能的,因为各方应该已经在理性地采取行动,将这些成本降至最低。和解和判决是以当事人或法院设定的价格进行的交易。因此,我们有理由期望诉讼当事人更普遍地像交易伙伴一样行事,并将交易成本降至最低。对发现成本、替代性争议解决、诉讼成本和其他主题的实证研究的回顾支持了当事人行为理性的建议。

But Some are More Equal: Race, Exclusion, and Campaign Finance 但有些更平等:种族、排斥和竞选资金

Proposed campaign finance reforms and critiques of current campaign finance jurisprudence are incomplete because campaign finance reformers overlook social and historical realities related to race. This Article uses race as an analytical factor to develop a more comprehensive understanding of campaign finance. Past state-sanctioned discrimination has contributed to current racial disparities in property. Under the current campaign finance system, these disparities in property shape the racial distribution of political influence no less than poll taxes, literacy tests, or at-large electoral districts. Further, seemingly neutral campaign finance doctrine threatens to lead to future racial disparities in the political distribution of societal resources. The consideration of race also allows for an examination of other critical issues ignored by reformers, such as racially selective enforcement of campaign finance regulations and the adverse impact of some reform provisions on minority political participation.
由于竞选资金改革者忽视了与种族有关的社会和历史现实,因此提出的竞选资金改革和对当前竞选资金法理的批评是不完整的。本文以种族为分析因素,对竞选资金有更全面的了解。过去国家认可的歧视导致了目前在财产上的种族差异。在目前的竞选资金制度下,这些财产上的差异对政治影响力的种族分配的影响不亚于人头税、读写能力测试或整个选区。此外,看似中立的竞选资金原则可能会导致未来社会资源政治分配中的种族差异。考虑到种族问题还可以审查改革者所忽略的其他关键问题,例如种族选择性地执行竞选财务条例以及一些改革条款对少数民族政治参与的不利影响。

Past state-sanctioned discrimination has contributed to current racial disparities in property. Under the current campaign finance system, these disparities in property shape the racial distribution of political influence no less than poll taxes, literacy tests, or at-large electoral districts. Further, seemingly neutral campaign finance doctrine threatens to lead to future racial disparities in the political distribution of societal resources. The consideration of race also allows for an examination of other critical issues ignored by reformers, such as racially selective enforcement of campaign finance regulations and the adverse impact of some reform provisions on minority political participation.","PeriodicalId":47670,"journal":{"name":"Texas Law Review","volume":"80 1","pages":"987"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2002-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68561255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Article surveys the growing law and finance literature providing evidence that legal protections for minority investors (and accompanying private and public institutions) correlate with various indices of financial development. Evidence in particular exists that countries with a common law origin enjoy both strong levels of investor protection as well as superior financial performance compared with civil law origin countries. Correlation does not mean causation, however. The Article examines the evidence related to whether the legal regime in fact causes financial development. Even if the legal regime does in fact cause such development, a question remains: How to generate investor-friendly legal regimes. Evidence on the efficacy of top-down reforms, including the transplant of laws from one regime to another, is examined. As an alternative, the Article puts forth the hypothesis that increased competition (whether product market, capital market, or regulatory competition) may have a greater ability to generate lasting changes in a country's legal environment to the benefit of investors and overall welfare.
本文调查了越来越多的法律和金融文献,提供证据表明,对少数投资者(以及伴随的私人和公共机构)的法律保护与金融发展的各种指标相关。特别存在的证据表明,与大陆法系起源国家相比,普通法起源国家既享有强大的投资者保护水平,又享有优越的财务业绩。然而,相关性并不意味着因果关系。本文考察了法律制度是否实际上导致金融发展的相关证据。即使法律制度确实导致了这种发展,一个问题仍然存在:如何建立对投资者友好的法律制度。研究了自上而下的改革(包括将法律从一个政权移植到另一个政权)有效性的证据。作为替代方案,本文提出了一个假设,即增加竞争(无论是产品市场、资本市场还是监管竞争)可能更有能力在一个国家的法律环境中产生持久的变化,从而有利于投资者和整体福利。
