Campaign Contributions Influence Public PolicyFor decades political scientists have failed to establish a direct connection between money and legislative outcomes. Now a 50-state study documents the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which money buys influence – from setting a party’s agenda, to keeping bills off the floor, to adding earmarks and crafting key language in legislation. |

What Happened to the Freedom of Assembly?
Freedom of assembly has become the forgotten constitutional right, with courts’ attention focused more on freedoms of association and speech. Both the Occupy and Tea Party movements, however, are reminders of how the right to assemble has been “at the heart of some of the most important social movements in American history: antebellum abolitionism, women’s suffrage and the Civil Rights Movement,” says John Inazu, JD, PhD, associate professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis. In his new book, Liberty’s Refuge: The Forgotten Freedom of Assembly, recently published by Yale University Press, Inazu examines why freedom of assembly has become “a historical footnote in American law and political theory,” and what has been lost with the weakening of protections for private groups. |
