Albert Eisele: To answer the last part of your question first, yes, I grew up in Blue Earth, the county seat of the county where Fritz Mondale grew up, and worked as a reporter in St. Paul before coming to the paper's Washington bureau in 1965.
Albert Eisele: I'm not sure Sen. Phil Gramm is getting off scot free; I have a feeling that his ties to Enron and those of his wife, who sat on the Enron board, were a major factor in his decision to retire.
Albert Eisele: I don't know what the Seattle Times or the news media in Richland are reporting, or what national media you read and watch, but I think a lot has been made of Lott's (no pun intended)reaction to the deeat of his friend for a federal circuit court judgeship.

 TALES OF CONSTITUTIONAL ORIGIN AND CROWN SOVEREIGNTY IN NEW ZEALAND   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The argument of this essay is that Dicey's separation of 'law' and 'history' was not only an expression of the legal positivism that has gripped - and continues to grip - common law method since the late nineteenth century.
Although Dicey thought that legal science could keep English constitutional doctrine and constitutional history distinct, such separation was not one to which the New Zealand polity aspired a century later and a hemisphere away.

The twelfth edition of Dicey and Morris, the second to be edited by Lawrence Collins and a team of specialist editors, continues to provide a clear and comprehensive statement of the laws in this technical area.
Dicey and Morris focuses on the doctrine of the current law of England as manifested in judicial decisions and statutes.
The doctrinal orientation is reflected in the continued use of Dicey's original format of Rules (fl-letter statements of doctrine drawn from statutes and cases), Comments (elaborations and discussions of Rules), and Illustrations (mostly capsule summaries of decided cases).

In his 1885 seminal work, The Law of the Constitution, Dicey warned that freedom was under attack by modern incursions against the Rule of Law.
Why Albert Venn Dicey is important to the ideals of freedom: Albert Venn Dicey argued brilliantly for the impartiality of the courts and the Rule of Law.
He held that the law is there for all to obey and that no one, not even those in the highest reaches of government, is exempt from obeying the law.

 Why Nobody Talks About Blue-Eyed Babies Any More
In this context, it is not surprising that that towering giant of Public Law theory, Albert Venn Dicey, should be such an embarrassment to the modern mainstream.
This hypothetical law was one that would order the murder of all blue-eyed babies (A V Dicey: Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution) (see, for example, page 5 at the webpage: http://www.hansard.act.gov.au/hansard/1993/pdfs/19931013.pdf).
Dicey's example may even appear to be a comparatively sane and sensible law, in the context of abortion on demand.

A year after the publication of Dicey's Law of the Constitution, William Gladstone was reading it aloud in the House of Commons, citing it as authority.
Dicey's goal was "to provide students with a manual which may impress these leading principles on their minds, and thus may enable them to study with benefit in Blackstone's Commentaries and other treatises of the like nature those legal topics which, taken together, make up the constitutional law of England."
Albert Venn Dicey (1835–1922) was Vinerian Professor of English Law at Oxford University from 1882 to 1909.

Emerging at the time of the American Revolutionary War, legalism and its defining commitment to a rule of law became even more powerful in the early nineteenth century, as social change accelerated and Americans sought images and attitudes to calm their anxiety.

Grant Gilmore has observed that, since the late eighteenth century, American law was supposed to make some overall sense; it was not supposed to grow and be applied in a disorganized, unplanned, eccentric way, as was tolerably the case in England.

 H-Net Review: Michael Les Benedict on The Politics of the British Constitution
The sovereign Parliament was unconstrained by law, but the practical exercise of power was constrained by the constitutional principle of "the rule of law." This principle required that government act only as authorized by law, according to the principles of the common law that protected individual rights.
All three criticized Dicey's stress on the rule of law, arguing that it merely justified the penchant of judges to interpret progressive legislation narrowly.
They, more than Dicey, are responsible for the prominence of unconstrained parliamentary sovereignty in mid-twentieth-century British constitutional thought -- and the attenuation of the rule of law and conventions as constraints on that sovereignty.

 What is Scotland's Rule of Law?
Perhaps the most famous exposition of the concept of rule of law was laid down by Albert Venn Dicey in his Law of the Constitution in 1895:
When we say that the supremacy or the rule of law is a characteristic of the English constitution, we generally include under one expression at least three distinct though kindred conceptions.
As Dicey postulated, the rule of law presupposes the absence of wide discretionary authority in the rulers, so that they cannot make their own laws but must govern according to the established laws.
