For those of you that don't know Guam is going through a UN supervised Decolonization process. Hawai'i was taken off the list of territories to be decolonized in 1959 after the Statehood vote.
Julian Aguon I'm thrilled to announce that Erwin Chemerinsky, renowned constitutional law expert and Dean of Berkeley Law School, has joined me in my defense of the government of Guam in the case of Davis v. Guam - a case that threatens to deny the native inhabitants of Guam the right ...to participate in a symbolic exercise of self-determination. It is humbling to say the least that Chemerinsky, who was recently named by National Jurist magazine as the most influential person in U.S. legal education, agrees with the constitutional arguments we've advanced in this litigation - i.e., that the challenged classification is not a racial one, and that Rice v. Cayetano should not control this case. As he says, "Rice held only that ancestry may be a proxy for race, not that it always is. This case is an example of when it is not. The Guam Legislature intended to carve out a class of colonized people for the purpose of determining their views regarding their right to decolonization, as recognized by international law. Identifying colonized people depends in part on determining whether one’s ancestor’s experienced colonization, and the law is carefully crafted to do that. Rice does not control."
