On November 11, 1620, off the coast of Cape Cod, forty-one passengers of the Mayflower signed what is now known as the Mayflower Compact.  Some passengers of the Mayflower were fleeing religious persecution; others were adventurers and tradesmen looking for a new life in a new land. This was the first document, signed by individuals on these shores, that provided for the creation of a government, among the people, by the consent of the governed, to organize a society under "just and equal laws." A small and humble beginning to what eventually became a nation founded under the philosophy that all people are created equal, and that they have the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Compact states, inter alia: ...do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of…

Stricter immigration enforcement is consistently touted by the Trump administration but the message has left some farmers nervous. They fear a loss of foreign workers in the fields will impact their livelihoods. A report in U.S. News stated the United States uses more undocumented immigrants in agriculture than any other country. It’s difficult to find Americans who want to do the kind of labor they perform on farms. The report contained stark comments from Patricia Dudley who heads up Bethel Heights Vineyard in Oregon. Loss of foreign workers hits agriculture A team of about 20 Mexicans works the vineyard every year. She said native-born Americans have no desire to work as hard as the immigrants in cold and wet conditions in the hills of Oregon. She asked. “Who’s going to come out here and do this work when they deport them all?” The agricultural industry fears a crackdown on undocumented immigrants threatens to deprive it of the labor it needs to…

Reimagining Joe Barton

$

Joe Barton wasn’t a household name outside of Ennis, Texas, until an image of him engaged in a sex act with himself appeared on the internet. As a conservative congressman, this wasn’t exactly the image he wanted his constituents to see. Not that there was anything wrong with it. Earlier Wednesday, Barton acknowledged “sexual relationships with other mature adult women” that he said took place while he was “separated from my second wife, before the divorce.” “Each was consensual,” he said in a statement. “Those relationships have ended. I am sorry I did not use better judgment during those days. I am sorry that I let my constituents down.” Who is this “mature adult woman”? Her name is withheld, this is the first curiosity. Concealing the identities of rape victims has long been an accepted part of the regime, as they did nothing to make themselves newsworthy beyond being the victim and should therefore not…

Thanksgiving For None of Our Doing, 2017

In advance of the holiday, my Pace lawprof pal John Q. Barrett sent out his wonderful Jackson Letter* which included this bit of wisdom. Dr. Hurwitz closed his November 1953 note to Justice Jackson, written on Thanksgiving Day, with a modest, I think admirable, nod to the role of fortune, and perhaps the role of higher power, in every life: On this day anyone should be thankful for all the good he has, which are none of his doing. “None” might be a bit of an overstatement, but it’s delusional to believe that fortune doesn’t play a significant role in the good we enjoy. And as Dr. Hurwitz notes, that’s why we are thankful. If the wonderful things in our lives were merely the product of our efforts, there would be no reason to be thankful. We earned them. But they aren’t, even if our efforts enabled us to take advantage of kismet. Thanksgiving plays two roles, the first of which is to provide us with a day to reflect on those things for…
