Critique Of “The Case for H.R. 1534 / Equal Access to the
Courts” : A 5 page paper discussing the implications of the
Private Property Rights Implementation Act of 1997, which
gave property owners claiming violation of their constitutional
rights regarding the use of their land equal access to federal
district court already enjoyed by anyone else making a similar
claim for any reason but land use. Before the rule, it could take
years for a property owner to be allowed access to federal court
by state courts—one elderly lady spent six years and untold
legal fees before “winning” a Supreme Court case allowing her
case to be heard in a federal district court. Eqlacc.wps

McCloskey’s “The American Supreme Court” : A 5 page
paper analyzing Robert McCloskey’s book. Our nation was
founded on the principles underlying fundamental laws that
assure the rights of the people of the nation. The Supreme
Court is charged with protecting those fundamental laws, but
also with preserving popular sovereignty, which is the freedom
under which we live. Because popular sovereignty is such an
overriding factor in the justification of the Supreme Court, we
likely will continue to have controversy stemming from the
rights of the government versus the rights of the people.
