Abstract
The purpose of this Note is to analyze the Missouri v. Jenkins case and determine whether it is, as the dissent says, "an expansion of power in the federal judiciary beyond all precedent."
This Note begins with a discussion of past Supreme Court decisions addressing the scope of the federal courts' remedial powers in desegregation cases, and the role of federal courts in the area of judicial taxation. This Note then analyzes the Jenkins decision, and concludes that the premises underlying the majority opinion are unsound. Finally, this Note offers a narrow interpretation of Jenkins and concludes that Jenkins need not be read as an endorsement of judicial taxation.
