You have to love that puts President Trump in quotes… I don’t know who has told him this garbage or if anyone has. He might have just heard something in passing and turned it into this preposterous narrative. And it is true that the more he says this the more his cult will be convinced that he’s the one living in reality while everyone else is involved in a massive conspiracy to destroy Deal Leader. That’s how brainwashing works. But the fact is that he is completely unhinged on this subject and you have to wonder what’s setting him off right now. Maybe it’s this: 28% of Republicans and 31% of Independents say a conviction would make them less likely to support Trump. The good news for him is that most people don’t want to see him in jail. I think that’s ok. You can’t put secret service agents in jail with him and they are required to protect him. Years of house arrest would suit me just fine, along with restrictions on his use of internet and television.

Άκουσα προσεκτικά τις αποψινές προγραμματικές δηλώσεις του Κ. Μητσοτάκη. Επιτρέψτε μου να τις σχολιάσω εδώ μιας και το ΜέΡΑ25, για μισό τοις εκατό, δεν μπήκε στη Βουλή – όχι δηλαδή ότι όταν είμασταν στη Βουλή έφτανε στα αυτιά σας το κοινοβουλευτικό μας έργο. Δεν θα σταθώ στις λεπτομέρειες αλλά στη μεγάλη εικόνα. Ο Πρωθυπουργός παρουσίασε […]

Law schools that give preferences to minorities and women in admissions and hiring risk getting sued by America First Legal, the conservative legal group warned in a letter to 200 U.S. law schools following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on affirmative action. America First Legal, a nonprofit group headed by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, said on its website that it sent the letter threatening to sue the law schools if they extend any “discriminatory preferences” based on race, gender or national origin. The group also said decisions based on factors in an applicant’s biography that could serve as a proxy for race—such as socioeconomic status—is also unlawful. The letter, dated June 30 and reviewed by Reuters, came one day after the U.S. Supreme Court held that giving some minority college applicants a boost over others based on their race violated the U.S. Constitution.

It’s awful NeverTrumper Tim Miller has some interesting thoughts on Supreme Court reform: How Normal Is This Court, Really: A Meditation From a Conflicted Man  People on the right bristled at a frank comment from President Joe Biden as he exited a press conference last Thursday: “This is not a normal Court,” he said. In their view, this was an example of Biden betraying his promise to be a steward of our norms and institutions and taking an unnecessary swipe at a SCOTUS that has executed constitutionally sound, conservative jurisprudence.  Here’s a version of this position that was posted by an pseudonymous anti-Trump conservative I follow on Twitter:  I assume we at The Bulwark are part of the “norms” crowd he is referring to, and while I don’t speak for everyone here, my view is that critiques of this Court and discussions of reform are totally legitimate and within the bounds of standard political discourse.  For starters, the size of the Supreme Court has changed several times before; the current number of justices was not set out on stone tablets delivered from on high.

Does it really matter that Australia’s defence policy has no moorings, and is created unaware of past pain, lessons and policy responses? By agents with unknown interests. And that American influence has been ushered into this void, most recently by Minister Marles? ‘De-risking’ is the latest term in geopolitics. It mostly concerns China. European leaders Continue reading »

China it seems, is nowhere near as isolated or feared by the “international community” as Western mainstream media would have us believe. The USA uses the term “international community” very often to include the G7 and a few “partners with shared values”. When this community is viewed through a different lens, it becomes clear there Continue reading »

The footage is harrowing. Drones launching missiles over people’s homes. The front doors of a hospital pelted with tear gas. Young children in tears fleeing their homes in the middle of the night, arms raised high in surrender. Israeli bulldozers ripping up roads. It is time we stopped being bystanders to these atrocities and stepped Continue reading »

The ACT’s judiciary will henceforth be lacking a meticulous pillar of consistency, but the resignation of Magistrate Beth Campbell allows also pause for reflection on the exceptional criminal courts the Territory has grown across Campbell’s quarter-century on the bench and indeed across the 34 years since self-government. The ACT was always different, having no intermediate Continue reading »
