    • Id. at 563. Building on United States v. Lopez, many lower court judges deemed the presence or absence of findings decisive in assessing commerce-power cases. See, e.g., United States v. Rybar, 103 F.3d 273, 292 (3d Cir. 1996) (Alito, J., dissenting) (voting to invalidate federal ban on machine gun possession as exceeding Congress's commerce power, but noting that he "would view this case differently if Congress as a whole or even one of the responsible congressional committees had made a finding that intrastate machine gun possession, by facilitating the commission of certain crimes, has a substantial effect on interstate commerce"); see also id. at 279 (majority opinion) (reasoning that, "unlike the situation in Lopez, there are legislative findings," although made in connection with earlier firearms legislation). In its post-Lopez decision in United States v. Morrison, a five-Justice majority of the Court invalidated a law that created a federal action for sex-based violence notwithstanding the existence of extensive congressional findings that such action, in the aggregate, substantially harms interstate commerce. 529 U.S. 598, 601-02, 614 (2000). The four dissenters sought to distinguish Lopez on precisely this ground. Id. at 628-29 (Souter, J., dissenting). And the majority itself did not foreclose the possibility that congressional findings might prove important in other commerce-power cases, particularly cases not involving violent crime. As the Court noted, "the existence of congressional findings is not sufficient, by itself, to sustain the constitutionality of Commerce Clause legislation." Id. at 614 (majority opinion) (emphasis added). The majority also declined to "adopt a categorical rule against aggregating the effects of any noneconomic activity" for analysis under the affecting-commerce prong of the commerce-power, id. at 613, thereby giving the Court "room to give weight to the presence or absence of legislative findings in some future commerce power cases," Coenen, supra note 11, at 1322.

    • Sable Commc'ns of Ca., Inc. v. FCC, 492 U.S. 115, 129 (1989). Something like the flipside of this reasoning played a role in Justice Kennedy's concurring opinion in Ashcroft v. ACLU (Ashcroft I), 535 U.S. 564, 591 (2002) (Kennedy, J., concurring). There, four members of the Court voted to uphold more limited Internet-pornography legislation passed in the wake of Reno v. ACLU. Id. at 566. In his critical, fifth-vote concurring opinion, Justice Kennedy observed, Congress and the President were aware of our decision, and we should assume that in seeking to comply with it they have given careful consideration to the constitutionality of the new enactment. For these reasons, even if this facial challenge appears to have considerable merit, the Judiciary must proceed with caution and identify overbreadth with care before invalidating the Act. Id. at 591-92 (Kennedy, J., concurring). Notwithstanding its rejection of an overbreadth challenge in Ashcroft I, the Court later, in Ashcroft v. ACLU (Ashcroft II), 542 U.S. 656 (2004), upheld a U.S. district court's preliminary injunction of the Act based on findings that a less restrictive alternative, in the form of parental installation of filtering software, remained available. In dissent, Justice Breyer asked pointedly, "[W]hat has happened to the 'constructive discourse between our courts and our legislatures' that 'is an integral and admirable part of the constitutional design'?" Id. at 689 (Breyer, J., dissenting) (quoting Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 326 (2004)). As Justice Breyer elaborated, "Congress read Reno with care. It dedicated itself to the task of drafting a statute that would meet each and every criticism of the predecessor statute that this Court set forth in Reno.... What else was Congress supposed to do?" Id. at 690.

    • A related time-tied style of judicial intervention is illustrated by the Court's death penalty decisions. In particular, when the Court invalidated every death penalty statute in the nation in Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), it did so in light of evolving standards of decency as required by the Eighth Amendment. Id. at 242 (Douglas, J., concurring) (quoting Trop v. Dulles, 356 U.S. 86, 101 (1958)). This result, however, triggered a widespread reexamination of the death penalty, culminating in its reenactment in many states and the Court's upholding of that action in Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153 (1976).

    • Id. Who rules sometimes come to the fore in joint operation with other semisubstantive doctrines. In Solid Waste Agency v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 531 U.S. 159 (2001), for example, the Court noted its view that an administrative interpretation of a statute that comes too close to the outer bounds of congressional power would require a clear indication from Congress that such a result was intended. Id. at 172; see supra notes 33-42 and accompanying text. Although the Court in Solid Waste Agency thus protected federalism values by relying on a clear-statement how rule, it did so in a way that effectively shifted policymaking authority from one set of decision makers (that is, an executive agency) to another (that is, Congress).

In particular, I give focused attention to both constitutional who rules and semisubstantive findings-and-study rules in assessing Argument 9. See infra notes 299-328 and accompanying text. It also bears emphasis that some semisubstantive doctrines cut across different substantive areas of constitutional law.

    • Another text-based critique of subjecting Congress to semisubstantive rules directed at federal lawmakers (or at least to some of these rules) stems from the Constitution's injunction that "Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings." U.S. CONST,art. I, § 5, cl. 2. As Professors Christopher Bryant and Timothy Simeone have written, "[t]he Supreme Court has long read the Rules and Journal Clauses as providing Congress broad discretion to determine how to report and record its consideration of proposed legislation." Bryant & Simeone, supra note 30, at 376; see also Goldfeld, supra note 25, at 417 (noting, but rejecting, this argument); cf Adrian Vermeule, The Constitutional Law of Congressional Procedure, 71 U. CHI.L. REV.361, 366 (2004) (describing the Rules of Proceedings Clause as "in effect, a delegation of rule-designing authority from constitutional framers in the initial period to legislators in subsequent periods"). The answer to this suggestion is that Congress's rulemaking powers, like all of its powers, are limited by the Bill of Rights and other applicable constitutional inhibitions. What if, for example, the House issued a "rule" for its "proceedings" that barred speeches from the floor except when made by white, protestant males in support of policies favored by the President? This rule would be invalid because it offends constitutional inhibitions on government conduct that trump the rule-making power. By symmetry of logic, if there are constitutional inhibitions that, in specified areas, mandate semisubstantive doctrines, then those inhibitions must limit the rulemaking power as well. Just as surely as the "plenary" commerce power, Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1, 197 (1824), is hemmed in by constitutional limitations derived from outside Article I, Section 8, so too the congressional rulemaking power is hemmed in by constitutional limits that spring from sources outside Article I, Section 5.

Professor Sunstein might add that if originalism itself is not reflected in the Constitution's text, then it has legitimacy only if it can be properly extrapolated from extratextual premises and values. But if originalism is properly extrapolated from extratextual premises and values, then why not semisubstantive doctrines? In particular, why should courts not find merit in such doctrines given the deep original commitment to deliberative republican decision making that these doctrines seek to foster?

    • In any event, even if use of semisubstantive rules somehow threatens the value of democratic self-government, it certainly does so no more than the many hard-and-fast rules of constitutional law triggered by the originalist method. This is all the more true because even leading originalists acknowledge that their methodology will not provide clear answers in many cases because judges must inevitably extract from historical materials the principles the ratifiers understood themselves and then apply those principles to unforeseen circumstances. Bork, supra note 156. One difficulty is that constitutional principles can be identified at many levels of generality. Critics of originalism say, for example, that originalists must reject the Court's canonical decision in Brown v. Board of Education because the ratifiers of the Fourteenth Amendment had no intention to end school segregation. See SUNSTEIN,supra note 9
    • In any event, even if use of semisubstantive rules somehow threatens the value of democratic self-government, it certainly does so no more than the many hard-and-fast rules of constitutional law triggered by the originalist method. This is all the more true because even leading originalists acknowledge that their methodology will not provide clear answers in many cases because judges must inevitably extract from historical materials "the principles the ratifiers understood themselves" and then "apply those principles to unforeseen circumstances." Bork, supra note 156. One difficulty is that constitutional "principles" can be identified at many levels of generality. Critics of originalism say, for example, that originalists must reject the Court's canonical decision in Brown v. Board of Education because the ratifiers of the Fourteenth Amendment had no intention to end school segregation. See SUNSTEIN,supra note 95, at 64. Some originalists respond by saying that those ratifiers simultaneously embraced the broader goal of achieving racial equality and that this more general goal should not be defeated by embracing a subprinciple that permits school segregation. See ROBERTH. BORK, THE TEMPTING OF AMERICA: THE POLITICAL SEDUCTION OF THE LAW81-82 (1990). This response, of course, illustrates the need for the exercise of judicial judgment in defining constitutional principles and in determining how clashing principles are to be reconciled. No less important, applying originalist principles to unforeseen conditions is in its nature a judgment-laden business. (If, for example, the Fourteenth Amendment, in keeping with its text, embodies a principle of equality that extends beyond race discrimination, might it not be that that principle should outlaw government discrimination based on sexual orientation if "unforeseen conditions" suggest mat sexual orientation, like race, is genetically determined?) In short, originalist decision making permits judges to displace many programs implemented by democratically chosen decision makers through the exercise of judicial translation. See, e.g., Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27, 40 (2001) (holding that government use of modern heat-sensing to gather information within a home is a search within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment). For this reason, the originalist methodology carries its own threat of judicial innovation and countermajoritarian results. And because originalist rulings are often hard-and-fast, the innovations and results that originalism triggers may well have more antidemocratic effects than outcomes produced by semisubstantive rules.

    • As Professor Burt Neubome has observed, While critics of process-based review have correctly noted that the judiciary, in identifying the required process, makes covert value judgments only slightly less profound than those more openly expressed by substantive-review courts, genuine process-based judicial review nonetheless poses a lesser challenge to democratic political theory. To the extent that process-based review requires normative judgments, they are prior judgments about who should make a choice and how it should be made, rather than the ad hoc substitution of a judge's substantive choices for those of the majority. Additionally, in many-perhaps most-settings, the impact of process-based review will be merely to remand an issue to one or another democratic forum for reconsideration in a procedurally correct manner. As such, it casts a suspensive veto that slows, but does not derail, majority will. Burt Neuborne, Judicial Review and Separation of Powers in France and t

After all, political leaders have traditionally legislated against the backdrop of constitutionally driven clear-statement rules, including the substantial-constitutional-question avoidance rule. In these circumstances, legislators were (and still are) on fair notice that statutes that approach the limits of constitutionality will receive a thorough judicial going-over. For this reason, according to Professor Gunther, so long as courts tie second-look rules to the genuine presence of ambiguity, critics cannot fault courts for engaging in dangerous subterfuges, CALABRESI,supra note 85, at 20 discussing Gunther's view, or free-wheeling interventionism, Gunther, supra note 243, at 25

One answer to this critique is that it seems unduly alarmist. The Court has not signaled that findings-centered review techniques will apply large numbers of legislative undertakings. Rather, all signs indicate that the Court has reserved this style of review only for cases that involve particularly sensitive constitutional issues. See supra notes 25,123 and accompanying text.
