A good first step would be to disabuse people of the idea that the Supreme Court is good, actually.

steve is concerned with the implications of all of this for the judiciary but, with all genuine respect, i really think that one has to approach this as a problem of game theory

strategic political capture of the court has, for 40 years, been a one-way ratchet. among other things, this has inculcated a sense among conservatives that they can act with virtual impunity. showing them that their opponents will play hardball is a necessary first step toward a better status quo.

will try to answer these in a piece next week but for now i will say that part of the *point* of court expansion, in my mind, is to create a disequilibrium — a potential race to the bottom — that will force a truce.

international law and really any system of morality worth its weight require a bit more than "not being sure of the barrier"

not to mention that the people for whom the need of aid most rapidly arises are the same ones who could least effectively mount the kind of resistance you want

One would think that to "the most moral army in the world" the precipitating factors of a conflict should not be relevant to the permissibility of gunning down civilians

Can you name five North Koreans who thwarted Kim Jong Il's kidnappings of Japanese citizens - maybe next time don't funnel money to the most insane group possible to disrupt Palestinian unity and then fail to check back about reports from the monitoring posts on the border with them

I mean really any level of education renders you infinitely out of step with the voters on immigration inasmuch as they have no clue what a country quota is; you might as well poll Salt Lake City for opinions on the succession to Muhammad

the Israeli government has not denied that hundreds of people have died needlessly waiting in line for aid, nor do they identify anything in the vicinity which would cause those deaths other than their weapons, and yet they also maintain that no IDF soldier should be charged with anything

It's actually worse, as Black Americans who lived in the South were able to move to the North, and did so in their millions. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank cannot do the equivalent.

As it turns out “did this person support Sanders in 2016” was not the perfect heuristic to understand whether someone has good politics or not. Weird how many people who should know better thought otherwise!

1. ask actual epidemiologists; benefits at Eat-Drink-Mingle Zone are minimal 2. the average neurotypical human is ridiculously face-oriented: botox reduces empathy because it inhibits facial micro-mimicry and tests of voice recognition outside closest friends and family yield piss-poor results

Basically every single pedagogical debate is like this: “Let’s move away from phonics, multiplication tables and testing because they leave kids behind” “Aren’t those the only things that work” “Yes” “And won’t it be less equitable in the end because rich parents can pay for tutors” “Also yes”
