Constitutional Law - The Sixth Sense: Exorcising the Specter of Past Injustices - Pena-Rodriguez v. Colorado, 137 S. Ct. 855 (2017)
Get PDFSupreme Court Shifts Supremacy Doctrine—Preempting State Sustainability?
Get PDFThe Supreme Court recently applied the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution to sustainable energy technology. Three recent decisions of the Supreme Court, as well as subsequent decisions of the federal circuit courts and a federal adjudicatory commission, reconfigured the constitutional doctrine preempting state regulation of sustainable power. Through these three decisions, the Court reduced Chevron deference afforded to regulatory agencies, a venerated legal doctrine
Black Swan Reconfiguration: Legal Separation of American Powers
Get PDFIn a legal Black Swan event, the Supreme Court, in an unprecedented action, stayed and blocked implementation of the Obama Administration’s core domestic and international agenda — years before a legal challenge to the regulation would ever reach the highest Court. This decision underscores major changes in the legal separation of U.S. governmental powers, and alters long-standing Chevron deference to the executive branch.The Clean Power Plan served as the foundation of the Obama Administration’s goal to reduce climate-warming gas emissions from power plants. It provided the legal mortar cementing the U.S. commitment to the 2015 International Paris Agreement on climate change. This plan was a controversial exercise of executive action in the second Obama term that wove together domestic and international legal policy. With a 5–4 split, the Supreme Court decision peremptorily stayed the Plan — years before the lower court could rule on a contested challenge or advance to it—and the court of appeals froze. Raising the stakes, the Trump Administration is now recalculating the costs and benefits of the Plan in order to change American law.These are pending disputes of legal first impression, fundamentally reshaping constitutional law. Rules of law have changed due to a combination of the unprecedented Supreme Court stay of executive action — years before any challenge would reach it on appeal — and the Trump Administration’s efforts to recalibrate the costs and benefits of the regulations. This article analyzes in detail the legal position of each side and the impacts of this long-pending, and significant constitutional confrontation, transfiguring domestic and international law

Characterizing Reflective Practice in Psychotherapists\u27 Practice and its Relationship with Experiential Avoidance
Get PDFReflective practice (RP) is an essential element of all professional work, including psychotherapy. However, RP can also cause feelings of anxiety and discomfort that may be barriers to engaging in RP. This research aimed to 1) describe the relationship between between RP and experiential avoidance in a sample of independent licensed and experiential psychotherapists, 2) explore among psychotherapists the previous finding among physicians that greater years of practice (YOP) and age predict lower levels of RP (Mamede & Schmidt, 2005), and 3) describe reported barriers to and supports of engaging in RP. An online survey was used to collect data and 54 participants were included in analyses. The sample was divided into low and high RP groups using a median split and group differences were analyzed. Results indicated a significant difference in the Repression and Denial subscale of the Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire between groups. When only institution-based participants were examined, the Distress Aversion (MEAQDA) mean score was also significantly different. In this sample, RP was positively and significantly correlated with both age and years of practice. Participants identified a range of barriers to engaging in RP as well as variables that support RP. These results suggest directions for future research and practice recommendations that could increase engagement in RP
