Opinion Analysis: Bargaining in the Shadow of Equitable Apportionment

Two sharply differing views on the Court’s role in handling disputes over interstate waters emerged last week. Justice Elena Kagan’s approach endorsed the power of Court-appointed special masters to fashion equitable remedies in disputes that states cannot resolve on their own. Justice Clarence Thomas’s approach warned the Court and its appointed special masters of the dangers posed by allowing equitable reformation over politically charged technical disputes between sovereign states. Justice Antonin Scalia specifically warned lawyers, judges, and special masters to stop assuming that modern Restatements are describing current law rather than revising it.
