Responses and Reversals Sample Clauses

Responses and Reversals. Studies of congressional responses to Court decisions have identified a multitude of factors that affect the probability that Congress will respond to a Court decision and that those responses will be successful. Notably absent from these works are analyses of the substance of responsive legislation. Accordingly, claims that Congress can and frequently does reverse the constitutional decisions of the Court are premature. The bulk of empir- ical research on congressional responses to the Court’s decision in political science has favored large sample quantitative analyses that do not lend themselves to careful inves- tigation of individual cases. These studies focus almost exclusively on policy outcomes. Legal scholars, on the other hand, have adopted case–study approaches to consider the impact of individual attempts by Congress to dictate constitutional policy but have not prioritized the identification of generalizable patterns. I pursue an approach that treads the middle–ground between these extremes by compiling a sample that is large enough to allow the use of statistical techniques to test causal hypotheses but small enough that I can also analyze the substance of individual responsive proposals and the court cases that they engender when they are successful. I assess the hypothesis that Congress is able to reverse the constitutional decisions of the Supreme Court by considering the intended ef- fects of responsive bills on the legal holdings announced by the Court and on the Court’s policy outcomes. Conventional wisdom holds that reversal of the Supreme Court’s constitutional de- cisions can only be achieved through a constitutional amendment. Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx (1997), on the other hand, conclude that Congress can and frequently does reverse the constitutional decisions of the Supreme Court through the passage of ordinary legisla- tion. Many scholars, while not going as far as Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx (1997), believe it is permissible and possible for Congress to modify the impact of Supreme Court decisions through the passage of ordinary legislation (Xxxxxxx 1984, Xxxxxx 1990). Xxxxxxx (1984, 126) suggests that Congress can force reconsideration of issues of constitutional law by passing legislation in response to the constitutional decisions of the Court. Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx (1997, 451) summarize the potential forms of these responses: Congress may rewrite legislation to pass judicial scrutiny; it may rewrite leg- islation to locate the sources of its power...

  • Certain Excise Taxes Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Employee has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Employee from the Company or any of its affiliates shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Employee shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to Employee (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s base amount, then Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 24 shall require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Employee’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.

  • Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.
