For decades, American law has debated, inconclusively, whether the great legal pronouncements against race discrimination permit “affirmative action.” As a means of ending much of this debate, this article argues that it may be a good time for Congress to answer this question directly. For decades, it was assumed that affirmative action would never be accepted explicitly by legislatures; it would have to be adopted through less democratic means. But attitudes have changed, and the time might be ripe for straighter talk and a democratic solution to the affirmative action debate.

The odd system for choosing the American president – the electoral college – has been defended on shifting grounds over the years. Only one of these grounds – federalism – currently remains. This article examines the historical record and concludes that federalism was not a significant reason for adoption of the system. Today, the electoral college provides at best a very meager form of federalism. Conversely, it encourages candidates to ignore states during each election and holds the potential for great mischief, including the election of a truly “regional” president.
Department of Justice Guidelines: Balancing “Discretionary Justice” Article

Prosecutors are afforded enormous discretion in a multitude of decisions. Internal guidelines of the Department of Justice (DOJ) assist federal prosecutors in making the decisions that fall within their discretionary realm. Although these guidelines are policy statements and not legislative rules, they offer an element of consistency to the decision-making process, provide education for newcomers to the department, and can serve as a restraint on prosecutorial discretion.
Prosecutors do not always adhere to these internal guidelines. This article studies ways to achieve better compliance. It examines remedies that achieve a balance between continuing the practice of having guidelines and yet also having meaningful policies that are adhered to by department employees.
