Willis Van Devanter
Willis Van Devanter: Chancellor of the Taft Court ROBERT POST Although William H. Taft was president for only four years, he appointed a remark able five justices to the Supreme Court.1 But only two of these appointments remained on the Court when Taft became chief justiceMahlon Pitney and Willis Van Devanter. Pit ney would be gone within eighteen months, but Van Devanter would remain as “one of the most enduring achievements of the Taft Admini…
A World Without Law; A World Without Politics
Text-based, voluntary cloud-based communities can sustain the values of civil-society, but it is difficult to imagine how they can generate laws that are involuntary and that operate on the bodies of participants.
Citizens Divided
The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, which struck down a federal prohibition on independent corporate campaign expenditures, is one of the most controversial opinions in recent memory. Defenders of the First Amendment greeted the ruling with enthusiasm, while advocates of electoral reform recoiled in disbelief. Robert Post offers a new constitutional theory that seeks to reconcile these sharply divid…
Debating Disciplinarity
I am a lawyer, and lawyers have their priors. One is that no question is innocent. Every question springs from an agenda that determines the range of acceptable answers. So if I amasked, as I have been for these remarks, “what is a discipline?” I want to know who is asking and for what purpose.\nSometimes questions of disciplinarity seek criteria for validating the “eccentric” angle of vision of a particular “intellectual” community in terms of i…
Religion and Freedom of Speech
Another Cosmopolitanism
In these two important lectures, distinguished political philosopher Seyla Benhabib argues that since the UN Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, we have entered a phase of global civil society which is governed by cosmopolitan norms of universal justice--norms which are difficult for some to accept as legitimate since they are sometimes in conflict with democratic ideals. In her first lecture, Benhabib argues that this tension can never be fully…
Democracy and Equality
If democracy is defined as the form of government dedicated to the realization of the values of selfdetermination, democracy bears a complex relationship to equality. Democracy requires equality of democratic agency, which is different from the forms of equality that flow from the values of distributive justice or fairness. Indeed, insofar as the forms of equality demanded by distributive justice are defined by reference to philosophic reason, ra…
Democracy and Equality
This article defines democracy as that form of government which aspires to realize the value of collective self-determination. It inquires into the relationship between democracy, so understood, and the values of equality. The article argues that although democracy intrinsically requires that persons be treated equally as self-determining agents, democracy does not require the forms of substantive equality often associated with theories of distri…

Recuperating First Amendment Doctrine
Contemporary First Amendment jurisprudence seeks to protect the abstract fact of communication. In this essay, Professor Post argues that this ambition has led to deep doctrinal incoherence. He illustrates this incoherence by examining two specific areas of First Amendment law-the question of what triggers First Amendment scrutiny, and the issue of time, place, and manner regulations. The essay asserts that the doctrinal disarray in these two are…
