Federalism's future
Article Abstract:
The Supreme Court's rulings in the just-finished term on cases involving federalism upset traditional notions of liberal and conservative while changing perceptions of the Commerce Clause and the 14th Amendment. The decision barring Congress from outlawing guns near schools simply delineates the far reaches of the Commerce Clause, limiting federal police powers. The ruling on racial gerrymandering of voter districts in Miller v Johnson left the court's left wing asserting states' rights and judicial restraint.

Does genetic engineering need genetic engineers? Should the regulation of genetic engineering include a new professional discipline?
Article Abstract:
Adopting a regulatory scheme including strict professional responsibility standards could reduce the environmental and public dangers of genetic engineering. Under this scheme, genetic engineers would be nationally licensed to practice. Scientists would then be held liable under a professional negligence standard where their work caused adverse yet reasonably avoidable consequences.
