Audio of the 1958 unanimous opinion of the Court in Cooper v. Aaron. A few years after the Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, the Arkansas legislature and Governor Orval Faubus openly resisted the Supreme Court's decision to desegregate public schools. So, the February following the integration crisis at Little Rock High School, members of the Little Rock school board and Superintendent filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, urging suspension of the plan to integrate schools - they were asking the courts for black students to be returned to their former segregated schools for the next two-and-one-half years while they figured out a more permanent solution to avoid integration. When the case made its way before the Supreme Court, the question before them was whether Arkansas officials were bound by federal court orders mandating desegregation. In a unanimous per curiam opinion the Court broke it down like this: it was constitutionally impermissible under the Equal Protection Clause to deprive black students of their equal rights under the law, and that since the Supremacy Clause of Article VI made the U.S. Constitution the supreme law of the land, and Marbury v. Madison made the Supreme Court the final interpreter of the Constitution, the precedent set forth in Brown v. Board of Education was the supreme law of the land and was therefore binding on all the states. Yes, even Arkansas.

E9. Cooper v. Aaron / Arizona's Donkey Law

Josh Blackman

In this episode, Josh Blackman, Associate Professor of Law at the South Texas College of Law Houston, discusses his article "The Irrepressible Myths of Cooper v. Aaron," which will be published in the Georgetown Law Journal. Blackman begins by explaining what happened in the Supreme Court case Cooper v. Aaron and describing the historical context in which the case was decided, as the Supreme Court tried to enforce its decisions in Brown v. Board of Education against massive Southern resistance. He observes that the Court relied on concepts of both judicial supremacy and judicial universality, and asks how effectively it marshaled each premise. He traces the evolution of the opinion through the papers of the justices, and how the Court reached its ultimate conclusion. And he argues that Cooper v. Aaron and its aftermath emphasizes that the Supreme Court is still a court, and that its decisions must still be implemented by the executive branch. Blackman is on Twitter at @JoshMBlackman.
