A-13 NEWS OBITUARIES JAMES QUILLEN JOHN HART ELY PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2003 Most influential scholar on Constitution Influential lawmaker from Tenn. for 34 years By Adam Bernstein The Washington Post James H. Quillcn, a self-made By Adam Liptak The Now Yok Times John Hart Ely, a constitutional scholar of dazzling originality and wide influence, died on Oct 25 in Miami. He was 64. The cause of death was cancer, his wife, Gisela Cardonne Ely, said.

Mr. Ely. who had taught law at Harvard' and Yale and had been dean of the Stanford Law School, was best known for "Democracy and Distrust: A Theory of Judicial Review" (Harvard, 1980). "It is the most important work of constitutional scholarship in the two generations from the time it was published to now," said Mark Tushnet. a law professor at Georgetown, echoing a widely held view.

The book proposed a distinctive middle ground between the two conventional positions on the proper role of judges in interpreting the Constitution. Mr. Ely rejected the view that the Constitution could be interpreted based solely on its text and history, saying that scholars who focused only on the original intent of its drafters were insensitive to the document's structure and the open-textured nature of some of its school, he worked as a summer clerk at Arnold. Fortas Portec a Washington law firm, assisting Abe Fortas. the future Supreme Court justice, in a landmark case.

Mr Eh wrote a first draft of a brief on behalf of Clarence Gideon, a Florida drifter who had been tried and convicted without a lawyer. The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Gideon's favor, holding that poor people accused of serious crunes are entitled to legal representation paid for by the government. After graduating. Mr.

Ely served as the youngest staff member of the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination of President John Kennedy. He went on to work as a clerk to Chief Justice Earl Warren, whom he considered a hero. Mr. Ely worked as a criminal defense lawyer in San Diego before joining the law faculty at Yale in 1968. He moved to Harvard in 1973 and then to Stanford, as the dean of its law school, in 1982.

He continued to teach at Stanford for almost a decade after he stepped down as dean in 1987. He moved to the University" of Miami School of Law in 1996 and was on its faculty when he died. language. But he was equally impatient with those who maintained that judges might infer moral rights and values Irom it. Instead, he proposed that courts should infer only one sort of value from the Constitution, a procedural one.

The Constitution. Mr. Ely wTote, requires judges to protect and enhance the democratic process itself, ensuring that it remains open and fair. Judges interpreting the Constitution should be, he wrote, in an uncharacteristically ungainly phrase, "participation-oriented, representation-reinforcing." Mr. Ely stressed the importance of giving disfavored minorities access to the political process, particularly in the face of unfair or artificial obstacles erected by the majority.

He WTote with special concern about voting rights, free speech and racial discrimination. According to a study published in The Journal of Legal Studies in 2000, "Democracy and Distrust" was, by a considerable margin, the single book on the law published since 1978 most often cited by other legal scholars in their own work. A broader companion study found Mr. Ely to be the fourth most frequently cited legal scholar of all time, as judged by references in legal scholarship since 1956. He trailed Richard A.

Posner, Itonald Dworkin and Oliver Wendell Holmes in that order. Both lists excluded textbooks and treatises. Mr. Ely's theory was both provocative and attractive because it proposed a solution to a vexing constitutional problem, that of how to reconcile an unelected judiciary with a democracy. It did so, moreover, without obviously taking sides in political and social debates.

His work nonetheless displeased partisans on each end of Uie political spectrum. Critics on the right said Mr. Ely's approach was just a fancy way for judges to impose their wishes over the objections of democratic majorities. "What is reinforced," Robert H. Bork wrote in 1990, "is not democratic representation so much as it is judicial power to redistribute the polity's goods." Critics on the left found the theory wanting because it did not protect rights they viewed as fundamental, notably the right of privacy.

Born in New York City in 1938, Mr. Ely was a graduate of Prince ton and of Yale Law School. In 1962, after his second year at the law businessman and sometime showman who represented northeastern Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1963 to 1997. died-yesterday at a hospital in Kingsport, Tenn.

At a public hearing, he once placed a goldfish in a water pitcher to show how a change to the Endangered Species Act would harm a potential dam project in his district. Some environmentalists thought the dam, valued at more than $100 million, would hurt the small-fish population. Quillen's pitcher strategy was meant to show how fish become acclimated to new environments and to put the fish, in Mr. Quillen's view, in perspective. Although he' could not afford higher education for himself, Mr.

Quillen helped bring millions of dollars to his district to build or add on to colleges. James Henry Quillen was the fifth of 10 children born to a poor sharecropping family near Gate City, a southwestern Virginia town near the Tennessee border. He grew up in Kingsport and held jobs as a teen-ager to support his family. He told an interviewer last year that he sold ads for the local newspaper until the publisher fired him for not being well-dressed enough to approach clients. In 1931, he began his own newspaper, the weekly Kingsport Mirror, making him one of the nation's youngest publishers.

After serving in the Navy in the Pacific during World War II, he went into politics. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he served in the Tennessee statehouse as one of its few Republicans. He was a protege of U.S. B. Carroll Re-ece (R), the former chairman of the Republican National Committee.

When Reece died in 1961, his widow served the remainder of his term. In 1962. she endorsed Mr. Quillen to succeed her. Mr.

As one of the longest-serving politicians in his state, "Jimmy" Quillen was a power broker in Ten nessee politics. His word could buoy or scuttle the political ambitions of others, and he was known to support contenders of all persuasions. He praised former U.S.
