The Download of the Week is Human Rights and Majority Politics: On Felix Frankfurter's Democratic Theory by Samuel Moyn. Here is the abstract:
This symposium piece for the "Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law" is primarily a reading of Felix Frankfurter's dissent in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943), attempting to draw some lessons from his theory of majoritarian rights for our own moment of crisis for the human rights movement. The situations then and now are only partly comparable, but Frankfurter's call for allowing democratic processes to self-correct even when elite shortcuts beckon — including when it comes to defining and protecting rights – provides food for thought. This is a first draft; comments welcome.
Very interesting and highly recommended.
