	Constitutional Democratic party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Constitutional Democratic Party was formed in Moscow on October 12-18, 1905 at the height of the Russian Revolution of 1905 when Tsar Nicholas II was forced to sign the October Manifesto granting basic civil liberties.
		Unlike the Octobrists, who were committed to constitutional monarchy from the start, the Kadets were at first ambiguous on the subject, demanding universal suffrage (even women's suffrage) and a Constituent Assembly that would determine the country's form of government.
		In response, 120 Kadet and 80 Trudovik and Social Democrat deputies went to Vyborg (then a part of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland and thus beyond the reach of Russian police) and responded with the Vyborg Manifesto (or the "Vyborg Appeal"), written by Miliukov.

	Extended Phenotype: A constitutional vision for Democrats, part 2
		My feeling is that the Democrats do not currently have a consistent vision for interpretation of constitutional power and structure, and that Tushnet is correct in supposing that the party has been "opportunistic" about pursuing its agenda.
		Constitutional "politics" has often been a matter for popular debate, and to the extent that Democrats can revive such discussion instead of always focusing on candidates and single issues, our movement to revitalize and restore social justice within the market economy could be strengthened.
		The "narrowing" of constitutional politics to an internal dialogue within the Supreme Court is a lamentable phenomenon, since the Court really does have limited ability to drive a constitutional vision (despite the public diatribes against "activist" judges by social conservatives).

	HK democrats exchange views on constitutional reform with leader Tung
		Democratic Party chairman, Yeung Sum, said the atmosphere at the meeting with Tung had been "quite good" this time round with the two sides exchanging "frank views on constitutional reforms" and direct elections for the chief executive.
		The Democrats had also sent Tung an alternative Policy Address -- ahead of his speech in January -- which had called for constitutional reforms and the balancing of the budget to be delayed to three years instead of the two years proposed by the government.
		Direct elections for the chief executive are not scheduled to be held before 2007 under Hong Kong's post-1997 constitution, with elections for currently unelected seats in the legislative council to follow a year later.

	The Phoenix: Is the future of Constitutional Democracy at stake? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The emergence of constitutional politics as a separate track of democratic politics played an important part in the improbable success of the struggles through which the requirements of equal citizenship became effective and produced fundamental changes in the structure of governance and the extension of rights.
		A democratic constitution must open itself to reinterpretation and revision according to democratic citizens’ changed conceptions of their own freedom and equality, their essential interests, and their understandings of the political and social circumstance most propitious and most threatening to their essential rights and interests.
		When the discourse of constitutional democracy is alive and well in the informal public spheres of civil society and the more formal fora of the state, the practice of judicial review is disciplined by democratic politics that surrounds and centers on it.

		Democrats saw the nomination of Bell and the failure to focus clearly on Unionism early in the campaign as definite signs that the Constitutional Unionists were simply Whigs in new garb.

		Constitutional crisis looms as democrats Stonewall Bush judges: increasingly, senators are looking for nominees to the federal judiciary who will be quasi-legislators and use their rulings to set aside law and precedent for a political result - U.S. Constitution

		Raskin believes that the Constitution permits U.S. senators to weigh political concerns about judges, and says that the Senate is a coequal with the president in the nomination and confirmation process and should be free to use whatever criteria they see fit.

		Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee seized on the change to request a postponement in a hearing set for today.
		The previous proposal said that no constitution or any state or federal law "shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman."

		In his original post on Balkinization, Mark Tushnet stated -- without much elaboration -- that the Democratic constitutional vision was "something like equal dignity and respect." There's a sense in which this is correct.
		Far more interesting, I believe, is the opposing constitutional vision (or visions) which find so much support among conservatives: limited or "small government" as the "original" and desired state of government.
		If Democrats want to understand how to stop defending, and start building again, the weaknesses in the conservative constitutional argument are the place to start.

	Matt Margolis - Blog » Boxer Reveals That Democrats Will Be In The Minority For A Long Time
		In order for the Democrats to obtain an unbreakable super-majority, they’d have to gain 15 seats in the Senate, and the Republicans would have to lose 15 seats.
		If the rules changed tomorrow, they’d effect not only Bush’s constitutional duty to nominate judges, but also his successor, and if his successor was a Democrat, the chances are you won’t see any nominees by that president getting a super-majority from a Senate which currently has 15 more Republicans than Democrats.
		If the rules changed tomorrow, and Democrats managed to reclaim the majority in the Senate in 2006 or 2008, their majority is meaningless with regard to judicial nominees, regardless if a Republican or a Democrat wins the White House in 2008.
