Crafting Law on the Supreme Court

Crafting Law on the Supreme Court

Forrest Maltzman; James F. Spriggs; Paul J. Wahlbeck

Cambridge University Press
2000
pokkari
Material is gleaned from internal memos circulated among justices on the Supreme Court to systematically account for the building of majority opinions. The authors argue that at the heart of this process are policy-seeking justices who are constrained by the choices made by the other justices. By strategically using threats, signals, and persuasion, justices attempt to influence the behavior of their colleagues on the bench. Evidence derived from the recently released papers of justices Brennan, Douglas, Marshall, and Powell is used to test the authors’ theory of opinion writing. The portrait of the Supreme Court that emerges stands in sharp contrast to the conventional portrait where justices act solely on the basis of the law or their personal policy preferences. This book provides a fascinating glimpse of how the Court crafts the law.

Will the dark gods still answer prayers? As a young woman, Nyahri learned hunting and raiding. Now in adulthood, she must make crushing choices of allegiance and family. So she prays to those dark gods, the Atreianii, for guidance. Can they help her? Such gods of fortune and gods of death, worshipped by a hundred tribes, seldom answer prayers. For untold generations they have slept within their subterranean fortresses, their Citadels, scattered across the world. When one Citadel explodes, its hellfire lights the sky from horizon to horizon. A single goddess emerges from the ashes, slag, and ruins, and her obsession is to reach the next distant Citadel

This report discusses the challenges associated with potential confrontations between the United States and hostile states with small nuclear arsenals. It examines prospects for neutralizing their nuclear capabilities via combinations of offensive and defensive options at varying levels of opponent nuclear development and managing escalation risks in conventional wars with them across a range of scenarios.

A RAND study analyzed Chinese and U.S. military capabilities in two scenarios (Taiwan and the Spratly Islands) from 1996 to 2017, finding that trends in most, but not all, areas run strongly against the United States. While U.S. aggregate power remains greater than China s, distance and geography affect outcomes. China is capable of challenging U.S. military dominance on its immediate periphery and its reach is likely to grow in the years ahead."

OSHA (29 CFR 1910.119) has recognized AIChE/DIERS two-phase flow publications as examples of "good engineering practice" for process safety management of highly hazardous materials. The prediction of when two-phase flow venting will occur, and the applicability of various sizing methods for two-phase vapor-liquid flashing flow, is of particular interest when designing emergency relief systems to handle runaway reactions. This comprehensive sourcebook brings together a wealth of information on methods that can be used to safely size emergency relief systems for two-phase vapor-liquid flow for flashing or frozen, viscous or nonviscous fluids. Design methodologies are illustrated by selected sample problems. Written by industrial experts in the safety field, this book will be invaluable to those charged with operating, designing, or managing today's and tomorrow's chemical process industry facilities.

China's approach to nuclear deterrence has been broadly consistent since its first test in 1964, but it has recently accelerated nuclear force modernization. China's strategic environment is likely to grow more complex, and nuclear constituencies are gaining a larger bureaucratic voice. Beijing is unlikely to change official nuclear policies but will probably increase emphasis on nuclear deterrence and may adjust the definition of key concepts.

Rosa Alvarez's personal hero had always been Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Why hadn't her country, the country of her birth, been able to send a woman into space? Her family was touchy on the subject. She was chided as a kid not to talk about Valentina because America didn't like Russia. Americans didn't like immigrants either, like her parents and older siblings. Years later, Rosa found herself revolutionizing the tech industry by working towards gender equity in technical roles. This effort helped her company to break from a slump it had been in, and eventually led to her becoming the CEO. Things were going great until Trump won the election. Rosa had to decide, could she set her beliefs aside and collaborate with the new administration? Could she allow her company's computers to be used to hurt Muslims in America? Could she put her company at risk to make a stand?
