1991Since Loyd claimed the privilege to defense questions as well, and since the prosecuting attorney "was not a witness ... [who could] be tested by cross-examination," the Court found an offense to Douglas' Confrontation Clause rights and reversed. [9] See also, Lee v. Illinois, 476 U.S. at 541-42, 106 S.Ct. at 2062-63 , 90 L.Ed.2d at 526-27 , where Douglas' core holding is seemingly taken for granted.

Maestri v. Board of Assessors green

1932It is essential to the character of a franchise that it should be a grant from the sovereign authority, and in this country, no franchise can be held, which is not derived from a law of the state." In Maestri v. Board of Assessors, 110 La. 526 , 34 So. 658, 661 , it is said: "To be a franchise the right possessed must be such as cannot be exercised without the express permission of the sovereign power — a privilege or immunity of a public nature which cannot be legally exercised without legislative grant.
