Maintaining the Integrity of Democratic Principles with Congressional Remedies
An important objective of the 1946 Administrative Procedure Act (APA) was to maintain the integrity of democratic principles in the federal bureaucracy. A provision in the APA stipulating that agencies give interested persons the right to petition for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a rule democratizes the agenda setting process of regulatory agencies, setting a minimum for participatory opportunities. In the Endangered Species Act (ESA), a…
Judging in a Mismatch
Over the past two decades, U.S. courts have experienced a significant increase in the number of pro se litigants. With the pro se phenomenon has come new ways of thinking about the meaning of justice, fairness, neutrality, and impartiality in the legal system. The traditional notion of a judge as neutral arbiter between two opposing parties in an adversarial process does not fit the reality of pro se litigation, especially when a self-represented…

African-American Constituents and Supreme Court Nominees
In this study we extend previous research on the impact of constituency preferences on the roll-call behavior of senators during Supreme Court con firmations by examining the 1967 vote on Thurgood Marshall.

We conclude with a disc…

Courting Constituents? An Analysis of the Senate Confirmation Vote on Justice Clarence Thomas
The increasing public attention paid to Supreme Court nominations has elevated the salience of Senate confirmation battles, raising interesting questions about the impact of constituency preferences on senators' voting behavior. In this article, we explore this relationship using a logistical regression model to examine the impacts of African-American constituency size and the proximity of reelection on the roll call behavior of senators on the C…
The Court vs. Congress
Urban Regimes, Sports Stadiums, and the Politics of Economic Development Agendas in Chicago
Sports issues have increasingly become prominent items on the urban policy agenda. Most demands for sports-related policies have been woven into the general fabric of economic development in the community. in this article, the authors examine the issues surrounding sports stadium development in Chicago from 1985-90. An urban regime framework, based on the notion of governing coalitions, is used to analyze the incorporation of stadiums into Chicag…
The Recruitment and Career Patterns of Congressional Committee Staffs
Judicial Use of Legislative History and Intent in Statutory Interpretation
The Performance of House Committee Staff Functions
THERE has been considerable growth in the size of the congressional bureaucracy in recent decades. This growth has signaled an increasingly important role for the nonelected participant in the legislative process. Legislators are becoming even more dependent upon their professional staffs to help them identify problems, develop legislation, and work with other actors in the political system. Clearly, one might question whether this staff expansio…
