I am relieved to learn that President Trump is safe after the terrifying gunshots. Violence can never be tolerated anywhere in the world. トランプ大統領が、恐ろしい銃撃の後、ご無事だとの報に接し、安心しました。 暴力は、世界のいかなる場所でも、決して容認できません。 @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

if you cover Japan, you hear the established pundits here bemoaning the terrible state the nation is in, and how it's headed toward decline, which is interesting because overall Japan is in pretty good shape objectively and factually, compared to many other nations. if anything, it's possible the big unleashing of economic energy that comes from a transition from a controlled feudal society to a market economy, rewarding innovation, entrepreneurship and ventures, has yet to fully play out here. there will be social costs if this ever happens, and it might take years, if not decades, but that scenario is one possibility.

My only comment on the recent infighting on the American right, involving not only political actors but a number of Internet personalities I neither know nor care to know: History records many cases in which cities fell to siege because, even with the enemy at the very gates, factions within the city could not put aside their mutual struggle for domination. In such cases, the consequences are typically catastrophic for all the defeated. The attitude of “let the city burn, so long as I can rule over the ashes” is idiotic; it is the enemy outside that will rule.

There seem to be many on this site who don’t realize that making peace usually requires talking to people on the other side of the war.

I don’t think political theorists and constitutional theorists have fully come to grips with this. From the 18th century onwards, England/Britain/the UK was long held up as the model of a liberal polity, the jewel in the liberal crown. Obviously various diagnoses are possible, but any account of liberalism that says nothing about the collapse of what was supposedly the best case and the central case isn’t worth listening to.

COMMENTARY: The UK long saw freedom of expression as a badge of honor. Now, that legacy is being quietly dismantled by legislation and fear, replaced by a state that criminalizes the freedoms once used to mock the powerful. ow.ly/ceWf50WA5SM

Good to see Judge Ho using “common sense” — or, as he also puts it, what a “reasonable policymaker” would do — as guides to the interpretation of statutory text. A breath of fresh air, redolent of the legal process approach to interpretation.

COVID was a weird era. The Government was handing out bags of money first and asking questions later. Sometimes it turns out the money needed to be taken back because the recipient was ineligible. Constitutional, Judge Ho writes! (With a fun close referencing PM Thatcher!)

Nah, this old dodge doesn’t convince anyone anymore. There is no such distinction. The perpetual impetus to liberation from all unchosen constraints of tradition and nature; the march of “progress” towards the complete freedom of the will — these have always been at the heart of the liberal faith.
Will Stancil@whstancil

MAGA imbeciles are incapable of understanding that “liberal” and “progressive” isn’t synonymous with “radical” or “revolutionary.” Many liberals want to build and improve institutions. The most radical faction in US politics is MAGA, revolutionaries who want to burn the country

“Free markets,” whatever that even means, aren’t a “value.” They’re an instrument, to be used precisely up to the point they make the lives of the citizenry better, and not an inch farther.

If your reaction to this is that “the process is working,” you’re missing the point. Any one of almost 700 district judges might intervene at any time to block anything the President does, even within the core of his Article II powers. The overhang of uncertainty and confusion about where power lies in our government is toxic in itself.

BREAKING: 9th Circuit panel grants administrative stay of Judge Breyer's ruling. This allows Trump to keep National Guard deployed for a few more days while three judge panel considers the case.
