Post-Election Polling
The Federalist Society commissioned exit polling of voters on election night last November regarding their perspectives on role of courts issues in relation to the election. Click HERE to see the executive summary as well as the raw data. Results of the Federalist Society’s poll were confirmed by a subsequent Rasmussen poll that found nearly two-thirds of U.S. voters (64%) say U.S. Supreme Court decisions should be based on what is written in the Constitution.
Originally
Speaking
June 1, 2009
On March 10, 2009, the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) was re-introduced to Congress by Sen. Ted Kennedy and Rep. George Miller. The EFCA would amend existing labor law to incorporate provisions for card check, mandatory arbitration, and higher penalties for organizational unfair labor practices. (The full text of the EFCA is available here.) In this installment of Originally Speaking, Richard Epstein (NYU/University of Chicago), Thomas Kochan (MIT), Eugene Scalia (Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP), and Patrick Szymanski (Change to Win) debate the policy and constitutionality of the EFCA.
The New Federal Initiatives Project (NFIP) of the Practice Groups is monitoring and analyzing some significant proposals of the new Congress and administration, with an eye toward their constitutional and legal implications. For briefing papers on such proposals, click HERE.
