THURSDAY’s Variety reports that a congressional resolution has been introduced, co-sponsored by Delegate Kilili, denouncing the Insular Cases —  a set of U.S. Supreme Court decisions limiting the reach of the U.S. Constitution in outlying offshore jurisdictions. The resolution focuses on some obnoxious language in those decisions, but overlooks their actual effect, which is to provide constitutional breathing room for a robust variety of cultural norms, values and priorities to exist and thrive under a common political umbrella, instead of requiring one size to fit all. Without these cases, for example, there would be no Article XII of the CNMI Constitution, protecting local land ownership; no equal representation for Rota and Tinian in the CNMI Senate; and no hope of any future arrangements protecting the CNMI from any other unwelcome U.S. constitutional provisions.
