SUBJECT:
Domestic Briefing Materials
for Sperling Breakfast
Counsel's Office has reviewed the above-referenced draft
briefing materials. The "Affirmative Action" points contain the
statement "We all agree that the use of quotas is discre-
tionary." "Discretionary" should be changed to
"discriminatory."
:
As we have pointed out before with respect to Gramm-Rudman
points, it is misleading and inaccurate to state that the
three-judge panel of the district court "upheld the validity of
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act." It is correct to state that the
court upheld the validity of the general approach of
Gramm-Rudman, while striking down as unconstitutional one aspect
of the Act. In addition, in the last sentence of the first
Gramm-Rudman point, "will" should be changed to "should" --
there are never any guarantees on when the Supreme Court will
act.

may appoint up to 30 members to the Committee, who "shall have
particular knowledge and expertise in the field of telecommuni-

MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING
FROM:
JOHN G. ROBERTS
SUBJECT:
George Washington Law Review's Article
on Laurence Tribe's God Save This
Honorable Court
Jeffrey Walker, Book Review Editor of The George Washington Law
Review, has invited you to respond to a review of Professor
Tribe's God Save This Honorable Court by Donald Lively, an
associate professor of law at the University of Toledo College
of Law. Tribe's book -- written with the very specific aim of
influencing the confirmation process for the next Supreme Court
nominee -- argues that (1) Presidents generally get what they
want from Supreme Court justices they appoint, and (2) the
Senate should play a more active role in the "advice and
consent" process. Lively's review -- trite, sophomoric
pablum -- applauds Tribe and contrasts Tribe's view with that of
Justice Rehnquist, who noted in a recent address that justices
often frustrate the aims of the Presidents who appoint them.
I am not entirely unbiased, but I found Lively's critique of
Rehnquist's views and some of his judicial opinions not only
shallow and unconvincing, but an offensive "bashing" calculated
to endear the author to liberal academia. Rehnquist's views,
for example, are labeled "careless," "reckless, "self-serving,"
and "disingenuous." The author has not even a modicum of
intellectual shame, unabashedly attacking straw men. See p. 7
("Rehnquist might argue that ").
Frankly, neither this review nor what I have read of Tribe's
book strike me as a serious undertaking worthy of response.
Some justices live up to the expectations of those who appoint
them; some do not. The Senate is free under the Constitution to
consider whatever it cares to consider in voting on a nominee.
I would simply advise Mr. Walker that we barely have time for
light reading, let alone writing reviews.

Presidential Radio Talk: Nicaragua
Counsel's Office has reviewed the above-referenced draft radio
talk, and finds no objection to it from a legal perspective.
The first two lines of the fourth paragraph on page one are,
however, subject to misinterpretation. The sentence can be read
to mean that no nation received more aid from us than did
Nicaragua, which is not true. This confusion can be cured by
adding "was providing" after "nation" at the end of the second
line of the paragraph.

SUBJECT:
Request to Prepare a Videotape for
the Commission on the Bicentennial
of the U.S. Constitution
You have asked for our views on whether the President should do
a videotape for the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S.
Constitution. The Commission would use the videotape in
presentations to state and local groups to promote appropriate
commemoration of the bicentennial.
This office has no legal objection to the President providing a
brief videotape, and we think it would be a good idea. The
videotape would provide the President an opportunity to present
his views on the importance of recommitting ourselves to the
basic values of Federalism and liberty embodied in the Consti-
tution. The message should not discuss the Commission or
specific projects, but simply the general importance of the
Constitution. This office should review the message, and can
assist in the drafting as well.
It should be noted that the Commission is authorized by law to
accept donations to cover its own expenses and projects. It
must be made clear to the Commission that a Presidential video-
tape will be provided only if there are adequate assurances that
it will not be used in any sort of fundraising activity.
