Fed’l Cts Determining if State Law Violates US Fed’l Cts Determining if State Law Violates US ConstitutionConstitution
“Why shouldn’t a federal court strike down a state statute because it’s stupid?” Common Answers:•Democratic Theory:• State Legislature is Elected Body; Fed’l Court is Not• Remedy for Mistakes by Legislature is Elections
•Relative Expertise: • Legislature Can Do Better Fact-Finding Than Court• Local Officials May Have Better Handle on Local Problems

Upshot = Default Rule is Deference to State Legislation
•Many Bad Laws are Constitutional•State Legislatures Mostly Allowed to do Stupid Things Unless Their Actions Implicate Particular Constitutional Concerns (Tolerant Parent Analogy)

Chapter 2 : Federal Chapter 2 : Federal ConstitutionalConstitutional BackgroundBackground
Default is Deference to State Legislation
•States Mostly Allowed Leeway to do Stupid Things Unless Their Actions Implicate Particular Constitutional Concerns•Otherwise, Deference Means Federal Court Does Only Minimal Review of State Legislation: “Rational Basis Scrutiny”

Chapter 2 : Federal Chapter 2 : Federal ConstitutionalConstitutional Background: Background:
Rational Basis ReviewRational Basis Review•Legal Test: Is Challenged Law “Rationally Related to a Legitimate State Purpose”?• Minimal Test for Constitutionality Under Due Process & Equal Protection Clauses• Applies If No Claim Under Another More Specific Constitutional Provision • Very Deferential: Gov’t Virtually Always Wins

Legitimate State Purpose”?•Purpose is Legitimate if arises from State’s “Police Powers” • Basic Authority of State Gov’ts• Can regulate to protect/further “HSWM”• Health• Safety• Welfare [general well-being including economic success] • Morals

Rational Basis ReviewRational Basis ReviewIs Challenged Law “Rationally Related to a
Legitimate State Purpose”?Purpose is Legitimate if arises from State’s “Police
Powers” •Basic authority to protect/further Health, Safety, Welfare, Morals• Good lawyer can tie virtually any state law to one of these purposes• Usually purposes found illegitimate only if openly discriminatory or singling out individuals.

Chapter 2 : Federal Chapter 2 : Federal ConstitutionalConstitutional Background: Background:
Rational Basis ReviewRational Basis ReviewIs Challenged Law “Rationally Related to a
Legitimate State Purpose”?•Not asking if “rational” to a psychologist or economist•Term of art = a rational legislator could believe the state law will help further its purpose, at least a little bit•Doesn’t have to be best option or even particularly good. (Deference means states can experiment without having to convince federal court of desirability)

Chapter 2 : Federal Chapter 2 : Federal ConstitutionalConstitutional Background: Background:
Rational Basis ReviewRational Basis Review“Rationally Related to a Legitimate State Purpose”:
Application:1. Identify Purpose of Law2. Determine if Purpose is Legitimate • Arising under Police Power (HSWM)• Not Just to Harm Individuals or Group
3. Determine if Law “Rationally Related” to its Purpose

Thrust of Chapter 2•Midkiff: US SCt uses Rational Basis Review as test for when state exercise of Eminent Domain power is for “Public Use” •Debate: Is so much deference appropriate? • Many States adopt less deferential tests• US SCt in Kelo reaffirms Midkiff (5-4) BUT some Justices suggest
circumstances where they would use stricter test•Lawyering Focus of Chapter 2: Applying Legal Tests/Rules to Facts
