Book Synopsis So You've Stopped an Eminent Domain Use - Now What? by : John Ryskamp
Download or read book So You've Stopped an Eminent Domain Use - Now What? written by John Ryskamp and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a postscript to the author's book, THE EMINENT DOMAIN REVOLT: CHANGING PERCEPTIONS IN A NEW CONSTITUTIONAL EPOCH, New York: Algora Publishing, 2006. The history of the scrutiny regime reveals that the Court has an elaborate remedy mechanism when government has failed to established government purpose. In the eminent domain context, once government loses and property owners have to shape the relief, the property owners will find themselves obliged to provide the government purpose which the government lacked. That is, they will have to ask the Court to order the kinds of facts the government contemplated in its pre-textual, sham allegation of government purpose. Thus, we enter an era - the way for which was paved by the Abbott v. Burke education litigants in New Jersey - in which victorious litigants must engage in constant litigation, monitoring and policy development, in order to see that government purpose is carried out, WITHOUT using the unconstitutional means government originally suggested.
Book Synopsis The Market Revolution by : Charles Sellers
Download or read book The Market Revolution written by Charles Sellers and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-05-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Market Revolution, one of America's most distinguished historians offers a major reinterpretation of a pivotal moment in United States history. Based on impeccable scholarship and written with grace and style, this volume provides a sweeping political and social history of the entire period from the diplomacy of John Quincy Adams to the birth of Mormonism under Joseph Smith, from Jackson's slaughter of the Indians in Georgia and Florida to the Depression of 1819, and from the growth of women's rights to the spread of the temperance movement. Equally important, he offers a provocative new way of looking at this crucial period, showing how the boom that followed the War of 1812 ignited a generational conflict over the republic's destiny, a struggle that changed America dramatically. Sellers stresses throughout that democracy was born in tension with capitalism, not as its natural political expression, and he shows how the massive national resistance to commercial interests ultimately rallied around Andrew Jackson. An unusually comprehensive blend of social, economic, political, religious, and cultural history, this accessible work provides a challenging analysis of this period, with important implications for the study of American history as a whole. It will revolutionize thinking about Jacksonian America.
Book Synopsis Constitutional Law for a Changing America by : Lee Epstein
Download or read book Constitutional Law for a Changing America written by Lee Epstein and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 1152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Excellent balance of case excerpts and author explanation, highly appropriate for undergraduate students." —Dr. Wendy Brame, Briar Cliff University Political factors influence judicial decisions. Arguments and input from lawyers and interest groups, the ebb and flow of public opinion, and especially the ideological and behavioral inclinations of the justices all combine to shape the development of constitutional doctrine. Drawing on political science as much as from legal studies, Constitutional Law for a Changing America: A Short Course helps students realize that Supreme Court cases are more than just legal names and citations. With meticulous revising, the authors streamline material while accounting for recent landmark cases and new scholarship. Ideal for a one semester course, the Eighth Edition of A Short Course offers all the hallmarks of the Rights and Powers volumes in a more condensed format. Students and instructors benefit from the online Con Law Resource Center which houses the supplemental case archive, links to CQ Press reference materials, a moot court simulation, instructor resources, and more.
Book Synopsis How the Post-Kelo Eminent Domain Revolution Established the Right to Housing by : John Ryskamp
Download or read book How the Post-Kelo Eminent Domain Revolution Established the Right to Housing written by John Ryskamp and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeowners and politicians have simply ignored the Supreme Court's ruling in Kelo v. New London. Informal eminent domain moratoria - established when the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case - have simply continued post-Kelo. It has become evident that government is not willing to send in the police in order to remove people from their housing, even though they have the legal right to do so. This means enforcement of the housing provision of the New Bill of Rights (see article on SSRN discussing this proposal): No individual shall be involuntarily deprived of housing. This language is strict scrutiny for housing. The informal moratoria are strict scrutiny for housing in the eminent domain context. At the same time, it is not clear what other circumstances would permit removal of the people benefiting from these moratoria. For example, as time goes on, the moratoria tend to enforce other provisions of the New Bill of Rights. For example, the Bill also says: No individual shall be involuntarily deprived of liberty. Since, once the condemnation orders were in effect, the persons housed were no longer owners of their property and were subject to rent which none have paid, they are clearly trespassing. This extraordinary state of affairs implies elevated scrutiny for liberty, in the context of trespass where the facts show housing.

Book Synopsis Brazil's Long Revolution by : Anthony Pahnke
Download or read book Brazil's Long Revolution written by Anthony Pahnke and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic crises in the Global North and South are forcing activists to think about alternatives. Neoliberal economic policies and austerity measures have been debated and implemented around the globe. Author Anthony Pahnke argues that activists should look to the Global South and Brazil for inspiration. Brazil’s Long Revolution shows how the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (the Brazilian Landless Workers Movement, or MST) positioned itself to take advantage of challenging economic times to improve its members’ lives. Pahnke analyzes the origins and development of the movement, one of the largest and most innovative social movements currently active. Over the last three decades, the MST has mobilized more than a million Brazilians through grassroots initiatives, addressing political and economic inequalities. The MST and its allies—together known as the Landless Movement—confront inequality by constructing democratic ways of governing economic, political, and social life in collectivized production cooperatives, movement-run schools, and decentralized agrarian reform encampments and settlements. Their strategies for organizing political, economic, and social life challenge the current neoliberal orthodoxy that privileges individualized, market-oriented practices. Based on research conducted over five years, Pahnke’s book places the Landless Movement squarely within the tradition of Latin American revolutionary struggles, while at the same time showing the potential for similar forms of radical resistance to develop in the United States and elsewhere in the Global North.
Download or read book The Grasping Hand written by Ilya Somin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the city of New London, Connecticut, could condemn fifteen residential properties in order to transfer them to a new private owner. Although the Fifth Amendment only permits the taking of private property for “public use,” the Court ruled that the transfer of condemned land to private parties for “economic development” is permitted by the Constitution—even if the government cannot prove that the expected development will ever actually happen. The Court’s decision in Kelo v. City of New London empowered the grasping hand of the state at the expense of the invisible hand of the market. In this detailed study of one of the most controversial Supreme Court cases in modern times, Ilya Somin argues that Kelo was a grave error. Economic development and “blight” condemnations are unconstitutional under both originalist and most “living constitution” theories of legal interpretation. They also victimize the poor and the politically weak for the benefit of powerful interest groups and often destroy more economic value than they create. Kelo itself exemplifies these patterns. The residents targeted for condemnation lacked the influence needed to combat the formidable government and corporate interests arrayed against them. Moreover, the city’s poorly conceived development plan ultimately failed: the condemned land lies empty to this day, occupied only by feral cats. The Supreme Court’s unpopular ruling triggered an unprecedented political reaction, with forty-five states passing new laws intended to limit the use of eminent domain. But many of the new laws impose few or no genuine constraints on takings. The Kelo backlash led to significant progress, but not nearly as much as it may have seemed. Despite its outcome, the closely divided 5-4 ruling shattered what many believed to be a consensus that virtually any condemnation qualifies as a public use under the Fifth Amendment. It also showed that there is widespread public opposition to eminent domain abuse. With controversy over takings sure to continue, The Grasping Hand offers the first book-length analysis of Kelo by a legal scholar, alongside a broader history of the dispute over public use and eminent domain and an evaluation of options for reform.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Revolution by : William H Goetzmann

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1776, when Citizen Tom Paine declared, "The birthday of a new world is at hand," America was unique in world history. A nation suffused with the spirit of explorers, constantly replenished by immigrants, and informed by a continual influx of foreign ideas, it was the world's first truly cosmopolitan civilization. In Beyond the Revolution, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian William H. Goetzmann tells the story of America's greatest thinkers and creators, from Paine and Jefferson to Melville and William James, showing how they built upon and battled one another's ideas in the critical years between 1776 and 1900. An unprecedented work of intellectual history by a master historian, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of our national culture.

Book Synopsis Adjudicating Revolution by : Kay, Richard S.
Download or read book Adjudicating Revolution written by Kay, Richard S. and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lawyers usually describe a revolution as a change in a constitutional order not authorized by law. From this perspective, to speak of a ‘lawful’ or an ‘unlawful’ revolution would seem to involve a category mistake. However, since at least the 19th century, courts in many jurisdictions have had to adjudicate claims involving questions about the extent to which what is in fact a revolutionary change can result in the creation of a legally valid regime. In this book, the authors examine some of these judgments.

As in his many works over the years, The Long Revolution of the Global South combines Amin’s astute theoretical analyses of the challenges confronting the world’s oppressed peoples with militant action. In these final writings based on his life, Amin presents us with theoretical interventions, analyses of political conjunctures, and narration of personal experiences. Amin’s reminiscences of travels to places too often overlooked by the world at large are a joy to read. We even catch a glimpse of some of his memorable—and sometimes not so memorable—culinary adventures.
