The notion that procedural due process might be committed primarily to the discretion of the agencies themselves is almost entirely absent from the academic literature.The facts on the ground are very different. Thanks to converging strands of caselaw -- partly involving due process, partly involving judicial deference to agency interpretation of procedural provisions in statutes, and partly involving the long shadow of Vermont Yankee v. NRDC -- agencies themselves are now the primary front-line expositors and appliers of the cost-benefit balancing test of Mathews v. Eldridge. The courts for their part often defer, explicitly or implicitly, to agencies’ due process decisions.I will defend this approach, and urge that it be made fully explicit. Rather than decide for themselves “what process is due,” courts should ask only whether the agency offered a rational justification for providing whatever process it did provide. Although the Mathews cost-benefit calculus would still supply the rule of decision, courts should merely review the application of that rule by agencies, and defer to reasonable agency decisions about the costs and benefits of procedural arrangements.","PeriodicalId":48320,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2015-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2139/SSRN.2611149","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68221324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Anticipatory Remedies for Takings","authors":"T. Merrill","doi":"10.7916/D8J38S3X","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7916/D8J38S3X","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION Litigating takings claims under the U.S. Constitution involves pitfalls not encountered in ordinary constitutional litigation. With respect to takings claims against the federal government, just compensation can ordinarily be awarded only by the Court of Federal Claims (CFC), an \"Article I\" court located in Washington, D.C. (1) The CFC, however, has no authority to grant equitable or declaratory relief. (2) Consequently, claimants who wish to advance claims enforced by injunctions or declaratory judgments (for example, that the government action was arbitrary and capricious) must seek relief in an Article III court. This means claimants must often split their claims between two courts, giving rise to tricky questions of timing and preclusion. If they file in the wrong court, or get the sequencing wrong, consideration of the takings claim may be foreclosed. (3) Congress could clean up the mess by rewriting the relevant jurisdictional statutes, but has failed to act. (4) With respect to federal takings claims against state and local governments, the Supreme Court has held that such claims must be initially presented to state courts before they can be heard in federal court. (5) Any legal and factual issues that are resolved by the state courts, however, cannot be relitigated in a subsequent challenge in federal court. (6) Since federal and state takings clauses are generally interpreted the same way, this gives rise to what has been aptly called a \"trap.\" (7) Although federal constitutional claims ordinarily can be tried in federal court under 42 U.S.C. [section] 1983, (8) takings claims, because they must be initially presented to state courts, are generally barred from being considered by any federal court other than the U.S. Supreme Court on certiorari from the final state court decision, which is rarely granted. This Essay argues that these pitfalls of litigating federal takings claims rest, in significant part, on an erroneous understanding about the scope of federal judicial authority under the Takings Clause. Starting from the premises that the Constitution does not prohibit takings but only requires that they be compensated, (9) and that compensation can be awarded only in a court in which the government has waived its sovereign immunity, (10) the Supreme Court has concluded--sometimes--that federal courts of general jurisdiction have no authority to consider takings claims as long as an action for compensation is available elsewhere. On other occasions however--and usually without acknowledging the inconsistency--the Court has reviewed takings claims without requiring that they first be submitted to the court having authority to award just compensation. The latter line of authority, although poorly theorized by the Court, is the correct one. There is no rule of law that prevents federal courts of general jurisdiction from adjudicating claims that arise under the Takings Clause --as long as they confine themselves to the questi","PeriodicalId":48320,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71366583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Morrison","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1999516","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1999516","url":null,"abstract":"Arguments based on historical practice are a mainstay of debates about the constitutional separation of powers. Surprisingly, however, there has been little sustained academic attention to the proper role of historical practice in this context. The scant existing scholarship is either limited to specific subject areas or focused primarily on judicial doctrine without addressing the use of historical practice in broader conceptual or theoretical terms. To the extent that the issue has been discussed, most accounts of how historical practice should inform the separation of powers require “acquiescence” by the branch of government whose prerogatives the practice implicates, something that is viewed as critical to giving historical practice the force of law. Yet the concept of acquiescence has been treated much too casually in the literature. Claims about acquiescence are typically premised on a Madisonian conception of interbranch competition, pursuant to which Congress and the Executive Branch are each assumed to have the tools and the motivation to guard against encroachments on their authority. It has become apparent from political science scholarship, however, that the Madisonian model does not accurately reflect the dynamics of modern congressional-executive relations. This requires a reexamination of the premises and implications of the idea of institutional acquiescence in particular, and of the role of historical practice more generally. Ultimately, we argue, the problems with the Madisonian model are not fatal to crediting historical practice in interpreting the separation of powers. But they do require more attention to the reasons why such practice is invoked, the extent to which the reasons demand institutional acquiescence, and the precise method by which such acquiescence is identified. To illustrate the importance of each of these questions, we present three case studies of constitutional debates concerning the separation of powers in which practice-based arguments are prominent - war powers, congressional-executive agreements, and removal of executive officers.","PeriodicalId":48320,"journal":{"name":"Harvard Law Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2012-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2139/SSRN.1999516","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67839429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
