Commandeering Research Paper

- The commandeering doctrine prevents Congress from forcing the states to enact and enforce a federal regulatory program. New York; Printz. But states are free to voluntarily implement any federal regime. Section 200(a) – requiring states that have received federal funds to cap number of bar admits – is probably commandeering. States are being required to enforce federal law by capping the admits, which is not okay following Printz. Section 200(b) – requiring states to enact and enforce law to comply with the federal regulation in order to receive additional funds – is probably not commandeering. The states have not received the funds yet and are free to opt out of this provision. The DOJ reporting regulation – requiring states to compile and report ¬pro bono hours – is probably commandeering. The reporting regulation came six months after the states had already accepted the funds provided in §§ 200(a) & (b), and this was not something that the states initially agreed to.

Boerne. Here, it evidently is easier to establish regulatory takings with the FYCIA, but there is no constitutional violation that it is preventing or remedying. However, if there was a violation, the legislation would be congruent and proportional to it. No § 5 power here.
- The proposed standard for regulatory takings is likely to be proved workable. Satisfying the standard for workability can be established by how determined the rule is and the consistency of outcomes. The proposed standard satisfies both criteria: the rule is determined because it clearly lays out exactly what the government must do in order to comply with the standard; and it will result in consistent outcomes because the standard is applied to all levels of government.

Congress did not intend the FDCA to preempt state law’s inability to warn actions. Wyeth 's argument misinterprets the purpose of the congress on the FDCA. In Skidmore v. Swift & Co., 323 U.S. 134, “Congress has not authorized a federal agency to pre-empt state law directly, the weight this Court accords the agency 's explanation of state law 's impact on the federal scheme depends on its thoroughness, consistency, and persuasiveness.” Therefore, based on these arguments Wyeth should be liable under a state law claim that the label was inadequate and could have altered the label to increase drug safety making use of CBR regulation. In addition, the court has the sight to elucidate federal preemption

The overall construction of the Constitution designates that Congress may not direct State officials: “The Framers explicitly chose a Constitution that confers upon Congress the power to regulate individuals,not States.” It is the President's job, under the Constitution, to oversee execution of federal laws, but “The Brady Act effectively transfers this responsibility to thousands of CLEOs in the fifty States, who are left to implement the program without meaningful Presidential control”. However, Justice John Paul Stevens argued that the majority opinion misinterpreted Congress's power under the Constitution. Congress may not wrest the powers that the Constitution reserves to the States, but when it exploits its legitimate constitutional powers,

The resolution holds that states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil.” (399) First is seems consistent with Publius that states should stop the progression of evil as the aim of government is the happiness of the public. It also seems consistent with the theory of checks and balances that states would want to protect their powers in the same way any branch would. As such it is clear that states have the right to intervene, or at the least raise questions about potential abuses of power. Despite this it does not appear to be a duty of the state to do such but instead it appears to be in the states own interest to intervene and prevent potential abuses.

Empowers Congress to regulate commerce among the states The Constitution empowers Congress to regulate commerce “among the several states,” and no court has ever held that merely living in one of those states qualifies as commerce “among the several states.” If the federal government can force Americans to engage in commerce by buying health insurance, it can insist that they buy automobiles from bankrupt manufacturers, become farmers by growing food in their yards, and exercise three times a week. That is, upholding this power would obliterate the constitutional scheme of limited government.

Since its beginning, the United States of America has gradually and steadily expanded the oversight and power of its own federal government. This expansion has resulted in a plethora of effects on the relationship between local state government and the federal government, both negative and positive. However, the increased impingement from the federal government onto the constitutional rights of local and state governments has created an imbalance. A major part of this imbalance has stemmed from the advent and imposition of unfunded federal mandates. This increasing implementation of unfunded federal mandates over the years has begun to stir up trouble between the states and the federal government.
