Constitutional 'losers' represent a thorny and longstanding problem in American        constitutional law. Given our adversarial system, the way that rights cases are        decided means that regardless of whether a losing side has committed any actions        that cause harm to others, they typically suffer unnecessary harm as a consequence        of decisions. In areas such as affirmative action and gay rights, the losers are        essentially punished for losing despite neither intending nor causing injury.In        Losing Twice, Emily Calhoun draws upon conflict resolution theory, political theory,        and Habermasian discourse theory to argue that in such cases, the Court must work        harder to avoid inflicting unnecessary harm on Constitutional losers. But for this        to happen, Calhoun contends, the role of judges needs to be reconceptualized. She        contends that the Court should not perceive itself simply as an adversarial forum,        but also as a 'transactional' one, where losers are not simply losers but        participants in a process capable of addressing and ameliorating the effects that        come with loss. Filled with lucid discussions of well known cases, Losing Twice        offers an intellectually powerful argument for transforming the decision-making        process in Constitutional rights disputes.
