article summary 

I finally got around to reading the June 2003 issue of The Yale Law Journal. Seth Waxman and Trevor Morrison have an important article entitled What Kind of Immunity? Federal Officers, State Criminal Law, and the Supremacy Clause. They ask when may a state prosecute a federal officer for violation of a state's criminal laws. This issue recently came up in the Ninth Circuit, when the state of Idaho sought to prosecute Lon Horiuchi, an FBI sniper, for his role in the infamous Ruby Ridge incident. Strangely enough, this aspect of federal jurisdiction has never been the subject of a significant law review article. Waxman (who argued the Horiuchi case for the government) and Morrison argue that federal officers should have immunity from state criminal prosecution "for any action they take that they reasonably believe is necessary and proper to the performance of their federal functions." They further argue that Congress is free to limit the scope of this immunity if it so chooses. Although not everyone will agree with these conclusions, the article is an important first step in building a literature on what is termed "federal" or "Supremacy Clause" immunity, and it should be useful to scholars and lawyers interested in a wide array of federalism issues.

erratum 

On Tuesday, September 23, 2003, an entry on this blog stated that the most recent issue of the George Washington International Law Review had articles from the "Stephen L. Cantor International Tax Symposium." Mr. Cantor's name is correctly spelled "Steven." The former post on this blog will be amended.
