Re: War between Hamas and Israel
But the decision as to whether to charge Sally would still be independent of the decision as to whether to charge Jack. One would hope so, but I think one would often be wrong. Edited to add: international bodies don't have the best track record here: "Since the UNHRC's creation in 2006, it ha...

Arizona Supreme Court rules that a near-total abortion ban from 1864 is enforceable Three weeks later, Arizona's House and Senate have both voted to repeal the 1864 abortion ban. It was a close vote in both chambers (16-14 in the Senate today), with most Republicans voting to leave the 19th century...

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
If you were once arrested, but the arrest was then expunged, are you required to answer yes when completing a legal document that asks if you were ever arrested? I think the answer should be no, because to me an expungement means the arrest never existed, and I think I'd hold that position consisten...

Donald Trump today said that on "Day One of the Trump presidency" he will be "restoring the travel ban" and "suspending refugee admissions".

Having read Cohen's book, it would not surprise me to find out that he was the one who threatened Daniels. Oh, he's definitely the type to threaten folks, but perhaps not physically. There was laughter in the courtroom yesterday when Keith Davidson, the attorney who represented Karen McDougal and S...
