Bush in the White House. Some say the court’s involvement in the election was a betrayal of law, while others respect the court for ending something that could have escalated into a national disaster. Harvard University law Professor Frank Michelman examined these views in his Monday night lecture, “Machiavelli in Robes? The Court in the Election. ” His speech was this year’s topic for the Oregon Humani ties Center’s 2000-01 Colin Ruagh Thomas O’Fallon Memorial Lecture in Law and American Culture. Dozens attended and some had to stand in the aisles of the auditorium at the University law school to hear Michelman’s interpretations. In examining the Supreme Court’s actions, Michelman referred to a CNN survey released shortly af ter the court’s decision to stop bal lot re-counts. He said half the re spondents believed that the justices’ votes were influenced by their own opinions, and of that same half, two thirds said the decision was unac ceptable. “What are we to make of these re sults?” he said. Michelman said that on one hand, the court’s involvement and final decision could be considered a breach of faith. “According to one view, since the Supreme Court was unable to get le gal grounds, the court should have kept itself out of the matter com pletely,” he said. “The question is about to what extent, if any, a ruler can take liberties.” The opposing view believes the Supreme Court had to take action to stop a bigger disaster from happen ing, such as added chaos and the president being unprepared to ful fill his duties upon entering office. “What American people count on getting from the Supreme Court is less law than it is order,” Michel man said. He said some people respect the court’s decision because it helped end the tension that was rising throughout society. “Let’s suppose fear was growing in December, suggesting a disaster,” he said. “Intervention may have been the last, best hope of salvation. ” Tony Foy, a Eugene marketing di rector, said he appreciated that Michelman presented different views about the Supreme Court’s in volvement in the election. “There’s a definite place for the Supreme Court in this country, but it’s not without criticism,” he said. Foy said he did not necessarily disapprove of the court’s decision, but he wondered why it favored Bush. James O’Fallon, associate dean for academics at the law school, said it took several years to arrange Michelman’s visit to campus. “He’s an exceptional court law scholar,” he said. “I knew-he’d have something useful to say to the com munity.” A Unique Housing Alternative for University Students and Young Professionals We combine the convenience of University living with the hind of independen ce you ca n only fend in a n off camp us setting.
