    • Wayne R. Lafave, SUBSTANTIVE CRIMINAL LAW § 11.4 (2d ed. 2003) (describing various formulations of the actus reus requirement and stating that "[o]ne of the basic premises of the criminal law is that bad thoughts alone cannot constitute a crime... There must also be an act"). In constitutional law, as in criminal law, an omission can be an actus reus. See id. § 11.4(e) ("The Model Penal Code requires 'an act or omission constituting a substantial step in a course of conduct planned to culminate in [the actor's] commission of the crime.'" (alteration in original) (footnote omitted) (quoting MODEL PENAL CODE § 5.01(1)(c) (1962))). An omission can violate the Constitution, because the Constitution imposes certain duties to act. For example, the Constitution provides that the President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3. The adverb "faithfully" gives the President substantial discretion to prioritize and allocate resources in the execution of the law.

'Faithfully' is a word that does not keep company with the disingenuous pretense that economy is the motive, when the real motive is hostility to the law."); Black, Further Reflections, supra, at 1112 ("The duty has to be a duty to act prudently within these limits, without ulterior motive, sensitive to the force of the powerful conscience-stirring word 'faithfully.'"); cf.

    • How to Violate the Constitution Without Really Trying: Lessons from the Repeal of Prohibition to the Balanced Budget Amendment
    • note
    • Laurence H. Tribe, How to Violate the Constitution Without Really Trying: Lessons from the Repeal of Prohibition to the Balanced Budget Amendment, 12 CONST. COMMENT. 217, 219 (1995) (referring to the general principle "that our Constitution's provisions, even when they don't say so expressly, limit only some appropriate level of government" (footnote omitted)). For the moment, this Article will set aside the theoretical possibility that private individuals may violate certain constitutional clauses. See U.S. CONST. amend. XIII, § 1 ("Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."); id. amend. XXI, § 2 ("The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited."); Amar, supra note 9, at 403 ("[T]he Thirteenth Amendment clearly applies to... private action: Slavery, the Amendment commands, shall not exist."); Akhil Reed Amar, The Case of the Missing Amendments: R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, 106 HARV. L. REV. 124, 155 (1992) ("The Thirteenth Amendment's abolition of slavery and involuntary servitude speaks directly to private, as well as governmental, misconduct; indeed, it authorizes governmental regulation in order to abolish all of the vestiges, 'badges[,] and incidents' of the slavery system." (alteration in original) (quoting Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3, 35-36 (1883) (Harlan, J., dissenting))); Tribe, supra, at 219 ("The text [of the Twenty-First Amendment] actually forbids the private conduct it identifies, rather than conferring power on the States as such. This has the singular effect of putting the Twenty-First Amendment on a pedestal most observers have always assumed was reserved for the rather more august Thirteenth Amendment, which is typically described as the only exception to the principle that our Constitution's provisions, even when they don't say so expressly, limit only some appropriate level of government." (footnote omitted)); id. at 220 ("The upshot is that there are two ways, and two ways only, in which an ordinary private citizen, acting under her own steam and under color of no law, can violate the United States Constitution. One is to enslave somebody, a suitably hellish act. The other is to bring a bottle of beer, wine, or bourbon into a State in violation of its beverage control laws....").

The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day." (emphasis added)); id. art.

II, § 2, cl. 2 ("He shall... appoint... all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments." (emphasis added)); id. art. VI, cl. 2 ("This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...." (emphasis added)); cf. id. art. IV, § 1 ("Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.

    • See, e.g., id. art. I, § 8 ("The Congress shall have Power... To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper...." (emphasis added)); id. amend. I ("Congress shall make no law...." (emphasis added)); id. art. IV, cl. 2 ("This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof... shall be the supreme Law of the Land...." (emphasis added)). The Constitution consistently pairs the verb "make" with the noun "law," and the verb "pass" with the noun "bill." The only exceptions are the Ex Post Facto clauses, and these exceptions are perhaps explained by the pairing of ex post facto laws and bills of attainder. Id. art. I, § 9, cl. 3 ("No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed." (emphasis added)); id. art. I, § 10, cl. 1 ("No State shall... pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the obligation of Contracts...." (emphasis added)).

    • Act of June 1, 1789, ch. 1, 1 Stat. 23 (calling the first laws of the United States the "Acts of the First Congress" and the first law "An Act to regulate the Time and Manner of administering certain Oaths"); see also 1 THE RECORDS OF THE FEDERAL CONVENTION OF 1787, at 245 (Max Farrand ed., rev. ed. 1966) (Madison notes that it was "[r]esd. that all Acts of the U. States in Congs.... shall be the supreme law of the respective States...." (emphasis added)). In this, Congress was presumably following the English practice. See, e.g., Life Assurance Act, 1774, 14 Geo. 3, c. 48 (Eng.), available at http://www.opsi.gov.uk/RevisedStatutes/Acts/apgb/1774/capgb_17740048_en_1; see also ENGLISH PUBLIC LAW § 2.48, at 113 (David Feldman ed., 2004) ("The passing of Acts of Parliament [is] the principal form of primary legislation for England....").

    • In some cases, the context and the (past) tense of the associated verb suggest that the Court was referring to Congress's enactment of the statute. See, e.g., Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, 280 (1901) ("Indeed, in the only instance in which this court has declared an act of Congress unconstitutional as trespassing upon the rights of territories, (the Missouri Compromise,) such action was dictated by motives of humanity and justice, and so far commanded popular approval as to be embodied in the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution." (emphasis added)); In re Emblen, 161 U.S. 52, 56 (1896) ("Such being the state of the case, it is quite clear that (even if the act of Congress was unconstitutional, which we do not intimate) the writ of mandamus prayed for should not be granted." (emphasis added)); Marbury, 5 U.S at 178 ("[I]f the legislature shall do what is expressly forbidden, such act... is in reality [in]effectual." (emphasis added)). In other cases, the context and the (present) tense of the associated verb make clear that the Court was referring to the statute itself. See, e.g., Ashcroft v. ACLU, 535 U.S. 564, 566 (2002) ("This case presents the narrow question whether the Child Online Protection Act's . use of 'community standards' to identify 'material that is harmful to minors' violates the First Amendment." (emphasis added)); United States v. Christian Echoes Nat'l Ministry, Inc., 404 U.S. 561, 565-66 (1972) (per curiam) ("Although the construction was based on a constitutional premise, it did not amount to a holding that an Act of Congress is unconstitutional, as contemplated by § 1252." (emphasis added)); Frothingham v. Mellon, 262 U.S. 447, 488 (1923) ("We have no power per se to review and annul acts of Congress on the ground that they are unconstitutional." (second and third emphases added)); Muskrat v. United States, 219 U.S. 346, 361 (1911) ("The right to declare a law unconstitutional arises because an act of Congress relied upon by one or the other of such parties in determining their rights is in conflict with the fundamental law." (emphases added)). But in most cases, the Court's reference to an "act of Congress" remains ambiguous, even in context. See, e.g., Walters v. Nat'l Ass'n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 316 (1985) ("In McLucas v. DeChamplain, this Court similarly entertained an appeal from an order that granted a preliminary injunction and in the process held an Act of Congress unconstitutional." (second emphasis added) (citation omitted)); Nixon v. Adm'r of Gen. Servs., 433 U.S. 425, 559 n.7 (1977) (Rehnquist, J., dissenting) ("Marbury v. Madison... established the authority of this Court to hold an Act of Congress unconstitutional...." (second emphasis added)); Palmore v. United States, 411 U.S. 389, 416 (1973) (Douglas, J., dissenting) ("In O'Donoghue v. United States, the Court held unconstitutional an Act of Congress reducing the salaries of trial and appellate judges in the District of Columbia." (second emphasis added) (citation omitted)); United States v.

    • Likewise, and for this same reason, a gerund should not be the subject in a formulation of judicial review. NEW OXFORD AMERICAN DICTIONARY 712 (Elizabeth J. Jewell & Frank Abate eds., 2001) ("[G]erund... n[oun:]... a form that is derived from a verb but that functions as a noun, in English ending in -ing, e.g., asking in do you mind my asking you?."). At first glance, it might be tempting to say, for example, that "impairing the obligation of contracts violates the constitution." But this formulation, too, is terminally imprecise; it depends, of course, on who is doing the impairing. A state violates the constitution by impairing the obligation of contracts; the federal government does not. See U.S. CONST. art. I, § 10, cl. 1 ("No State shall... pass any... Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts...." (emphasis added)); Pension Benefit Guar. Corp. v. R.A.

    • Only recently, for example, the Court acknowledged its "equivoca[tion]" about precisely when an uncounseled interrogation violates the Sixth Amendment-during pre-trial interrogation or at trial. Not until a few months ago did the Court announce: "[W]e conclude that the... right to be free of uncounseled interrogation... is infringed at the time of the interrogation. That, we think, is when the 'Assistance of Counsel' is denied." Kansas v. Ventris, 129 S. Ct. 1841, 1846 (2009) (emphasis added). The point was important in Kansas v. Ventris because it implied that "[the] case does not involve, therefore, the prevention of a constitutional violation, but rather the scope of the remedy for a violation that has already occurred." Id. at 1846 (emphasis added). Note the analytical primacy of locating constitutional violations in time, before confronting questions of prevention or of remedy- and note how the Court failed to answer this fundamental question until 2009.

    • It might be tempting to say that the President actually has a hand in "making" laws by signing bills. But the Constitution never speaks in these terms. "All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress," not "a Congress and a President." U.S. CONST. art. I, § 1. "The Congress"-not "the Congress and the President"-"shall have power... To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper...." Id. art. I, § 8. The Constitution grants "Congress"-not "Congress and the President"-power to enforce various amendments "by appropriate legislation." See id. amend. XIII, § 2; id. amend. XIV, § 5; id. amend. XV, § 2; id. amend. XVIII, § 2; amend. XIX; id. amend. XXIII, § 2; id. amend. XXIV, § 2; id. amend. XXVI, § 2. And "Congress"-not "Congress and the President"- "shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Id. amend. I. Never does the Constitution use the words "veto power," let alone give the President a share of "legislative power." Rather, Article I, Section 7, imposes a strictly binary duty on the President: "If he approve [a bill] he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his objections to that House in which it shall have originated." Id. art. I, § 7 (emphasis added). And if he shirks this duty for ten days (and Congress remains in session), then the bill becomes a law automatically. See id. art. I, § 7 ("If any bill shall not be returned by the President with ten days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he had signed it, unless Congress by their adjournment prevent its return, in which case it shall not be a law."). In short, the Constitution makes clear that Congress and Congress alone has power to "make" laws, even if the making is not complete until a bill is presented to the President and (a) ten days pass, (b) the President signs, or (c) Congress overrides a veto.

    • Six state court opinions had previously used the "challenge to statute" formulation. See Livesay v. Wright, 6 Colo. 92, 96 (1881) ("This, in effect, challenges the statute as unconstitutional." (emphasis added)); State v. Creditor, 24 P. 346, 346 (Kan. 1890) ("He appeals, and challenges the validity of the statute." (emphasis added)); Mo. Pac. Ry. Co. v. Haley, 25 Kan. 35, (1881) ("[T]he defendant's counsel challenge the constitutionality of the statute in a long and able argument." (emphasis added)); State v. Dinnisse, 41 Mo. App. 22, 22 (Ct. App. 1890) ("The defendant in his brief challenges the constitutionality of the law under which he was prosecuted." (emphasis added)); Hallenbeck v. Hahn, 2 Neb. 377, 1872 WL 5832, at *12 (1872) ("We may well, therefore, call upon those who challenge the validity of the law of 1869 to point out the section of that instrument which has been disregarded in its enactment...." (emphasis added)); People v. Carpenter, 24 N.Y. 86, 92 (1861) ("Those who challenge the existence of the law, were called on to show the notices were not given." (emphasis added)). Interestingly, two of these six cases are from Kansas, where Justice Brewer served on the state supreme court, and three more are from neighboring states: Colorado, Missouri, and Nebraska. Apparently, this formulation was a mere regional colloquialism until Justice Brewer brought it from the Kansas Supreme Court to the United States Supreme Court.

The Court has occasionally suggested as much, although the sounder view is that an impermissible legislative motive cannot render an otherwise permissible act unconstitutional: [I]f a government-enacted rule of conduct is constitutionally inoffensive both on its face and as applied to the particular individual challenging it, the fact that the rule would not have been promulgated (or the practice put in place) but for the enacting body's desire to achieve a constitutionally forbidden result tells us nothing more than that the government body engaged in an unsuccessful attempt to violate the Constitution. So too, the fact that the rule would not have been promulgated or the practice established but for the enacting body's consideration of a factor the Constitution tells it never to consider-if there are such factors-hardly suffices to render the rule of conduct promulgated, or the practice put in place, constitutionally void.

The only other possible example appears to be Boyd v.

Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388, 391 (1971) (elaborating the "Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable searches and seizures by federal agents" (emphasis added)). Admittedly, another interpretation of the first clause of the Fourth Amendment is possible. Returning to the text, one could emphasize that it does not literally guarantee a right of individuals to be free from particular unreasonable searches but rather a "right of the people to be secure... against unreasonable searches and seizures." U.S. CONST. amend. IV (emphasis added). One could argue that this right is not actually violated by a single, isolated, unreasonable, FBI search, because one search does not render the people insecure. Rather, on this theory, the Clause is violated only by a systemic, legislative threat of such searches, for it is the general prospect of such searches that would render the people insecure.

    • One treatise alone seems to understand this point, but its brief discussion has been widely ignored by courts and scholars. See 1 NORMAN J. SINGER, STATUTES AND STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION § 2:6, at 44 (6th ed. 2002) ("Sometimes it is said of a statute which is not void 'on its face' that it nevertheless is invalid as applied. This is a malapropism, however, for a provision which is only invalid as applied in the facts of a particular case is possibly capable of valid application in another fact situation. In reality, it is only the implementing action which purports to apply the legislation and not the provision itself which is invalid in such cases." (citations omitted)). This is exactly right, but this crucial point has been lost on the many first-rate scholars who have written about "facial" and "as-applied" challenges. Not one of the leading articles on this topic cites to this passage. Indeed, amazingly, not a single article available on Westlaw, on any topic, cites to this passage.

    • Adler's first article on this point seemed to say that all constitutional rights are rights against rules. See, e.g., Adler, Rights Against Rules, supra note 81, at 3 ("Constitutional rights are rights against rules."). His second article, however, tempered the claim. See Adler, Constitutional Adjudication, supra note 81, at 1375 ("Rights Against Rules, read as a whole, does not present the rule-dependence claim as a universal one- indeed, I stated explicitly that my focus in the article was on the subset of doctrines that furnish substantive challenges to conduct-regulating rules-but some of my language was sloppy and did suggest, incorrectly, that rule-dependence was universally true." (citations omitted)). This second formulation comes closer to the mark. But neither article identifies the link between rights against rules and the subjects of the Constitution. Some rights are rights against rules precisely because some constitutional provisions are restrictions on legislative action.

    • Richard Fallon came closest to seeing this point in his superb article, Fallon, As- Applied and Facial Challenges, supra note 83, at 1324 ("[T]he availability of facial challenges varies on a doctrine-by-doctrine basis and is a function of the applicable substantive tests of constitutional validity." (emphasis omitted)). He is the only one to fully grasp that the "facial"/"as-applied" dichotomy is inextricably linked to substantive doctrinal tests. But, as a doctrinalist, he starts with substantive constitutional doctrine, which he takes as given, and from there he attempts to derive guidelines for the "facial"/"as-applied" dichotomy. The model presented here starts one step earlier, with constitutional text and constitutional subjects. And from there, it reveals that the inferences run in the opposite direction. The text reveals the subject of each clause, legislative or executive, which inherently determines the "facial" or "as-applied" structure of judicial review. And that structure, in turn, powerfully informs the proper substantive doctrinal test.

    • In fairness to Justice Scalia, Smith was a state case. It did not concern the First Amendment directly, but rather First Amendment rights incorporated against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. Incorporation greatly complicates the who question, as will be discussed at length in the sequel to this Article, The Objects of the Constitution. For ease of exposition, however, the rest of this Subpart will use a stylized hypothetical based on Smith-but the hypothetical is a federal law and a direct application of the Free Exercise Clause.

My contribution would go something like this: Tony, a member of the Jets criminal street gang, is standing alongside and chatting with fellow gang members while staking out their turf at Promontory Point on the South Side of Chicago; the group is flashing gang signs and displaying their distinctive tattoos to passersby. Officer Krupke, applying the ordinance at issue here, orders the group to disperse. After some speculative discussion (probably irrelevant here) over whether the Jets are depraved because they are deprived, Tony and the other gang members break off further conversation with the statement-not entirely coherent, but evidently intended to be rude-'Gee, Officer Krupke, krup you.' A tense standoff ensues until Officer Krupke arrests the group for failing to obey his dispersal order. Even assuming (as the Justices in the majority do, but I do not) that a law requiring obedience to a dispersal order is impermissibly vague unless it is clear to the objects of the order, before its issuance, that their conduct justifies it, I find it hard to believe that the Jets would not have known they had it coming. That should settle the matter of respondents' facial challenge to the ordinance's vagueness." (footnotes omitted)).

It made no serious effort to do so.") (emphasis added), but the Court managed to dodge the problem in its opinion, Northwest Austin., 129 S. Ct. at 2512-15 (noting the constitutional issue, but deciding to avoid it by providing relief on statutory grounds); see also id. at 2519-20 (Thomas, J., concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part) (concluding that Congress's action in reauthorizing Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act in 2006 was unconstitutional, even though Congress's action in enacting it originally in 1965 was constitutional) ("There is certainly no question that the VRA initially 'was passed pursuant to Congress'[s] authority under the Fifteenth Amendment.'"

One possibility is that a statute like Section 1983, fully constitutional when enacted, would become unconstitutional-perhaps as the consequence of its own efficacy. The result-that a statute remains valid only for so long as it is regularly defied-is surely an odd one. (It brings to mind the story of the inhabitants of a mountain village removing a sign warning of a dangerous curve because no one had recently driven off the road.) Equally odd is a different possibility-that the statute remains constitutional because there were widespread and persistent problems in the past. On that view, had the identical statute been passed years later, after the constitutional problems were less widespread, the same measure would be unconstitutional-thus making a statute's constitutionality at present depend on the date of its enactment.").

REV. 1026 (2003) ("The Court in [recent Section 5 cases] has departed from the traditional 'as-applied' method of adjudication in favor of a facial overbreadth approach. Instead of considering legislation in light of the particular facts and claims of a given case, the Court has examined the challenged statutes on their faces. Instead of asking whether any set of circumstances exists in which the challenged statutes might appropriately enforce the Fourteenth Amendment against unconstitutional state action, the Court has asked whether many of the state acts affected by these statutes have a significant likelihood of being unconstitutional." (emphasis added)); cf. Kimel v. Fla. Bd. of Regents, 528 U.S. 62, 64 (2000) ("The Act, through its broad restriction on the use of age as a discriminating factor, prohibits substantially more state employment decisions and practices than would likely be held unconstitutional under the applicable equal protection, rational basis standard."

XIX; id. amend. XXIII, § 2; id. amend. XXIV, § 2; id. amend.

    • Professor Akhil Amar has explained: [T]he framers saw the Enforcement Clause phrase "appropriate legislation" as equivalent to the Article I, Section 8 phrase "proper laws." Ordinary dictionaries confirm the obvious etymological link between "proper" and "appropriate." And in one of McCulloch's most famous passages, Marshall cemented this etymological linkage in words that the Thirty-Ninth Congress knew and relied on: "Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional." Only a couple of years after the Fourteenth Amendment became part of our supreme law, the Supreme Court itself quoted this famous passage in full and then declared that "[i]t must be taken then as finally settled, so far as judicial decisions can settle anything, that the words" of the Necessary and Proper Clause were "equivalent" to the word "appropriate."
