Resistance to facial challenges is a recurring theme of the Roberts Court’s early years. Yet close analysis of the Court’s decisions suggests that its approach to facial and as-applied challenges is largely consistent with prior practice. Despite occasional description of as-applied challenges in narrow terms, it has expressly preserved the possibility that as-applied challenges could be brough...

A family of mesomorphic bis(alkoxystilbazole)silver(I) dodecylsulphate and octylsulphate complexes has been studied by X-ray scattering in their various mesophases. In

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between somatotype components and maximal alactacid anaerobic power (MAAP) in trained subjects. The somatotype components (endomorphy: x = 2.66, S.D. = ± 0.78; mesomorphy: x = 5.45, S.D. = ±1.12; ectomorphy: x = 2.46, S.D. = ± 0.88) and total MAAP were measured in 40 male fencers (aged, x 21.79, S.D. = ± 3.97) in order to dete...

This affects Parliament’s minorities insofar as it prevents or hinders their legislative participation and their access to the Constitutional Court, both key elements in any democratic st...

Lawyers and judges faced with a contemporary constitutional issue must try to construct a coherent, principled, and persuasive interpretation of the text of particular clauses, the structure of the Constitution as a whole, and our history under the Constitution--an interpretation that both unifies these distinct sources, so far as this is possible, and directs future adjudication. They must se...

Much has been written about the flight of Hong Kong residents to various western countries in the past few years. The popular fear of political instability, which has caused this flight, stems from the anticipated transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China") in 1997.
