Federal Courts, Cases, Comments and Questions expands the book’s coverage of two fields that have grown in importance since the last edition: the Supreme Court’s treatment of issues arising out of the War on Terror and the Guantanamo Bay detainees, and the role of international law and international judicial tribunals in domestic law.

Doernberg, Donald

This book demonstrates that neither the current liberal nor conservative position on the McCarthy era provides the basis for an appropriate normative perspective. Adding the perspective of the theory of free expression, it becomes apparent that both sides have ignored a vitally important point. While recently declassified documents demonstrate widespread participation by American Communists in conducting or facilitating espionage, much of the negative treatment received by American Communists had little or nothing to do with such activity. From the perspective of the First Amendment right of free speech, there exists a significant difference between speech that advocates conduct, on the one hand, and speech that itself is part of a nonspeech criminal act, such as espionage, on the other. By helping to separate protected speech from unprotected "speech-acts," First Amendment theory can do much to distinguish between the legitimate governmental responses to American Communism and those that contravened basic notions of communicative freedom protected by the Constitution. At the same time, by focusing the First Amendment inquiry on the McCarthy era, one should be able to glean insights about the broader implications of free speech protection.

The Logic of Persecution: Free Expression And the McCarthy Era

History

Stanford University Press

This comprehensive Understanding treatise offers a coherent and complete overview of the complex constitutional principles and doctrines governing the federal judicial system. In a single volume, it provides a rich discussion of Article III of the United States Constitution, which governs the federal judiciary, and explains the role of Congress in regulating the federal courts' jurisdiction. After explaining the constitutional and statutory bases for federal jurisdiction, the treatise discusses the intricate case law on the statutory procedures relevant to litigating actions in federal courts. The treatise concludes with an exploration of the important federalism problems inherent in our dual system of courts, and the interrelationship of federal and state courts. 
Focusing on the relevant statutes and Supreme Court and appellate doctrine, Understanding Federal Courts and Jurisdiction covers all aspects of federal jurisdiction: justiciability, including standing, mootness, ripeness, and political questions; and the major types of federal jurisdiction, federal question and diversity, as well as the supplemental jurisdiction statute. The procedural portion of the treatise covers removal, venue, transfer of venue, personal jurisdiction in the federal courts, and multidistrict litigation. The federalism discussion includes a coherent review of the abstention doctrines, the Anti-Injunction Act, the Eleventh Amendment, the Erie doctrine, and intersystem preclusion. 
Understanding Federal Courts and Jurisdiction is ideal for students in the basic procedure course as well as upper division federal jurisdiction and practice courses. It also provides new and experienced federal practitioners with the basic principles and solid basis for further research.

By exploring modern scholarly trends in the areas of democratic theory, civic republicanism, public choice theory, constitutionalism, and interpretive analysis, and by testing accepted federal jurisdiction principles in light of this analysis, Redish reaches the conclusion that existing doctrine, as fashioned by the Supreme Court, is simultaneously unduly activist in certain areas and improperly restrained in others.

Bush — alien enemy combatants detained at Guantanamo and ""the constitutional privilege of habeas corpus."" • District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v.

Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority — state regulation of solid waste and the dormant Commerce Clause • Parents Involved in Community Schools v.
