The Common Law of Constitution B. A Critique of Modern Constitutional Decision Making CONCLUSION INTRODUCTION Gonzales v. Carhart (1) continues Supreme Court's haphazard development of its abortion jurisprudence--and neatly illustrates everything that has gone awry in modern constitutional law. Justice Kennedy, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, concluded that federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 (PBABA) (2) did not, on its face, unduly burden a woman's constitutional right to obtain an abortion. (3) Justices Thomas and Scalia would have upheld statute simply because the Court's abortion jurisprudence ... has no basis in Constitution. (4) Justice Ginsburg and three other dissenters argued that PBABA was indistinguishable from a state law that previously had struck down in Stenberg v. Carhart. (5) Meanwhile, all of Justices simply assumed Congress had power to enact challenged legislation. (6) Gonzales followed a familiar pattern. Despite new Chief Justice's professed desire to avoid splintered decisions, (7) divided into moderate, conservative, and liberal camps-just as it has done with other contentious issues such as school integration, free speech, and due process rights of enemy combatants. (8) As usual, Justices applied a murky common law to reach results that tracked their ideological views. (9) Finally, once again increased its own power and that of Congress. (10) Gonzales exemplifies modern disintegration of ideal of the Court expounding the Constitution--i.e., its language read in light of its underlying political structure and theory, its drafting and ratification history, and understandings manifested by those who implemented its provisions for over a century. Rather, individual Justices have employed an eccentric version of common law. (11) In Anglo-American system, legislatures make rules expressing their constituents' preferred policies, but sometimes delegate this power in certain areas (e.g., property, contracts, and torts) to courts, which gradually develop law on a case-by-case basis. (12) Stare decisis commands judges to follow established precedent absent compelling reasons for departure-most pertinently, concerns that a rule has become unacceptable in light of changed social conditions. (13) Moreover, common law is subject to legislative override. (14) This traditional, and restrained, model of adjudication has not been faithfully applied in contemporary constitutional adjudication. Most notably, constitutional law has been marked by abrupt shifts, not incremental doctrinal tinkering. For instance, in 1937, suddenly abandoned a century-and-a-half of case law imposing limits on Congress and instead interpreted Article I as conferring virtually untrammeled legislative power. (15) This turnaround reflected five Justices' perception of sound governmental and economic policy during Depression. (16) President Roosevelt solidified this jurisprudence by appointing Justices based primarily on their political commitment to New Deal, not on judicial experience or legal acumen. (17) A generation later, Warren dismantled most precedent concerning individual rights and reinterpreted Constitution to implement ideas about liberty and equality that incorporated progressive social and moral views. …" @default.
