Thornton] and [Bryant v. Hill], both from the Arkansas Supreme Court which the U.S. Supreme Court has combined into one test case concerning the constituitionality of terms limts. The main issue is whether each state can enact term limits or whether a U.S. constitutional amendment is required, which would take much more effort to suceed. The cases will be argued before the Court on Novermber 29th. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/61786-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/61786-1 Tue, 29 Nov 1994 00:00:00 GMT As part of the college's annual preview of the U.S. Supreme Court term, journalists and professors participated in a mock court arguing their version of [U.S. Term Limits v. Thornton]. This Arkansas case will be consolidated with [Bryant v. Hill], also an Arkansas term limits case, when it is argued next month, and only federal term limits will be challenged. The cases test the constitutionality of laws that limit the number of terms a politician can hold office. The Arkansas term limits legislation simply prevents a candidate's name from being printed on the ballot if he or she has held office for a certain number of term. U.S. Term Limits is an interest group in favor of restrictions on the number of years politicians can hold office. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/61048-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/61048-1 Tue, 29 Nov 1994 00:00:00 GMT Guests discussed two congressional term limits cases which will be argued before the Supreme Court this term. One is [U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton], in which an Arkansas state constitution amendment proposes to limit the access of long-term incumbents to the ballot, except as write-in candidates. The League of Women Voters U.S.A. believes that congressional term limits can prevent voters from choosing whom they wish to represent them. [Bryant v. Hill] comprises the same issues of congressional term limitation. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/60565-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/60565-1 Tue, 29 Nov 1994 00:00:00 GMT
