    "title": "Colony in the Crosshairs: A Reevaluation of the High Court of American Samoa's Decision in <em>Craddick v. Territorial Registrar</em> in Light of Subsequent Federal Decisions in <em>Wabol v. Villacrusis</em> and <em>Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard</em>",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>This article analyzes the High Court of American Samoa’s 1980<br>ruling in <em>Craddick v. Territorial Registrar</em> and compares the decision’s<br>reasoning with preceding cases that had also evaluated the constitutionality<br>of racial restrictions under the equal protection guarantees of the<br>Fifth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment. The article then compares<br>the legal analysis used by the High Court in <em>Craddick</em> with the legal<br>analysis used by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in <em>Wabol v. Villacrusis</em>,<br>a case that was based on similar facts and had a similar outcome to<br><em>Craddick</em>, but which relied on a different and completely incompatible<br>analysis of the Constitution’s equal protection guarantees. Finally, this<br>article compares the legal analysis in <em>Craddick</em> with the Supreme Court’s<br>recent decision in <em>Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard</em> and concludes<br>that if a challenge to Craddick were to make it into a federal court<br>today, the Supreme Court’s analysis in <em>Harvard</em> would require that <em>Craddick</em><br>be overturned.</p>",
