51 Imperfect Solutions
Does the U.S. Supreme Court have too much of a role in defining rights protections--creating too much of a one-size-fits-all approach that state courts rely on instead of taking their duty to interpret state constitutions seriously? That question is central to a new book by Judge Jeffrey Sutton, 51 Imperfect Solutions, which explores the role that states, as independent sovereigns, potentially have as “laboratories of experimentation” for rights protection and constitutional interpretation. In the words of Judge Sutton: “Why would we insist on one imperfect solution for the whole country rather than allowing for the possibility of 51 Imperfect Solutions initially?” https://youtube.com/watch?v=m1V70hV_Pfo
