Summers v. Thompsongreen

1 sentence

1995VI, § 4 of the Tennessee Constitution, which provides that “The Judges of the ... inferior courts shall be elected by the qualified voters of the district or circuit to which they are assigned ...” We concluded that this conflict potentially threatened the independence of the judiciary, see Summers v. Thompson, 764 S.W.2d 182, 196 (Tenn.1988) (Drowota, J. concurring), and therefore violated the fundamental constitutional principle of the separation of powers.

Poland v. Arizona green

1996Relying on Poland v. Arizona, 476 U.S. 147 , 106 S.Ct. 1749 , 90 L.Ed.2d 123 (1986), the majority concludes that "resentencing in these consolidated cases [presumably based on new aggravating circumstances] is not prohibited by either the state or federal constitutional provision against double jeopardy." While I acknowledge the federal interpretation of the double jeopardy clause that leads to such a conclusion and accordingly base my dissent on the more fundamental constitutional principle of due process, I do not wholeheartedly accept the analysis behind the cases relied on by the majority.
