Federalist Society: Land Use and Framers’ Intent Debate
January 28, 2010
Lewis & Clark Law School Federalist Society | Steven Eagle | Paul Diller
In this podcast, the Federalist Society presents a debate concerning both historical arguments about what the framers of our constitution thought about property rights as well as modern concerns about smart growth and economic takings. Professor Steven Eagle of George Mason Law will be debating Professor Paul Diller of Willamette Law.
Did the framers intend for a European-style land-from-government conceptualization of property rights or did their anti-continental ideals run deeper? Professor Eagle will argue that the founding fathers believed that land belonged to the people foremost (consider Shay’s Rebellion, for one). More relevant today is the debate over such trends as “smart growth” development. Portland is a national leader in this kind of innovative land-use.

Tre fled to Canada, but was later arrested there, held, and ultimately extradited back to the US after being denied political asylum. Prior to his flight and ultimate arrest, Tre was a prominent organizer and activist working to protect Oregon’s ancient forests, including Eagle Creek, a major drinking water supply source for the state’s citizens. Tre gained widespread public recognition for his 11 day occupation of a 9 in. wide ledge on the Forest Service Building downtown.
This is a unique opportunity to hear from a former US Political Prisoner with a unique and complex case. Tre’s case has critical implications for students interested in environmental issues, free speech, criminal law, international law, and prisoner rights.
