Gotta be honest. Of all the things Congress has done (or not done) in the last 18 months, this does not rank anywhere near the top 200 for me.

Anyone remember the Lawyers' Movement in Pakistan in 2009 or so? Musharraf tried to fire the Chief Justice of the Pakistani Supreme Court and a ton of lawyers in full suits took to the streets for like a week and eventually forced the reinstatement of all removed judges? Good times.

There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.

So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, o…

This is re-refereeing. That is not the role of VAR.

Ryan North Miller 🌻 @ryannorthmiller.com · 14/09/2026

I was watching the match. Alvarado knew exactly what he was doing and we do not need to pretend that he didn't. I will accept your point that minds may disagree. But that only means it is not clear and obvious that a red card was incorrect. And that is the standard for VAR intervention.

The UCLA GC should loudly resign in protest. "I will not continue to provide my advice and expertise to leadership that lacks even a rudimentary understanding of the role of attorneys in our legal system." It won't happen. But it should.
