In any of those second Obama strikes could US forces land and apprehend. They certainly can in these boat strikes, even before the first strike.

As for Japans new Prime Minster conservative does not mean the exact same thing as it does in the USA, she is for universal health care, supports strict gun controls. She is Japan first and has stated if the Trump trade deal does not turn out to be in Japans interest she will amend or scrap it...

The Supreme Court ruled that national injuctive relief is no longer constitutional despite it being constitutional for over 150 years and insuring equal application of law in the entire USA. That is what they ruled.

No that is not

Do try to keep up, the Supreme Court just ruled district courts can not longer hand down national injuctions as power they have had for over 150 years, one that sustains equal application of law nationally. Now law will be a lottery from district to district.

But she did know that Article II of the constitution does not grant the US president immunity from rule of law for any reason, indeed it states the president must faithfully execute the law. She knew that the Supreme Court majority did not know that.

Avoiding Trump and working channels below him is the way to go. Trump;s nature is too capricious, and ego driven, best to work the rational minds, such as there are any, below him. It worked recently as we got Treasury Secretary Barrett to convince Trump to remove the global revenge tax from...

This will go down in history as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in US history, up there with Dred Scott. Injunctions are implicit in the judiciary act of 1789 and have been legal precident for the entire history of the republic, nation wide injnuctions only apply to government assaults...

I served in Bosnia, I remember a time when US troops were asked to prevent ethnic cleansing, not commit it. Sort of reminds the Star Wars fan how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader.

I have lived over a great part of the world, I reckon Americans are one of the least racist cultures in the world. Far less so than Italians or the Japanese or Arabs I can tell you. What Americans are however, all races, are culturally naval gazing.

From what I have gleaned from the leaked decision is it is not concerned about when a person becomes a person at all. It makes the simple, bare-knuckles legal claim there is nothing in the constitution whatsoever that grants a woman a constitutionally protected right to an abortion and so...
