Signing out for now from Jackson, Mississippi. Hope we’re back on Bluesky soon. #firstamendment

Yes please. Thinking of the military law experts who know nothing about genocide but think that any topic relating to armed conflict gives them the final word.

Brian Finucane @bcfinucane.bsky.social · Aug 22

Is there a handy mechanism for muting discussion of genocide by non-experts?

I used to be a U.S. Army JAG at Fort Bliss, Texas during the war years. Now the base is being transformed into an immigration hub. My take on habeas rights for migrants detained on U.S. military bases:

My latest book chapter includes:
- why the propensity prohibition in evidence law makes sense
- the impact of other evidence like race and appearance that's not gatekept by evidence rules
- why Lt Kendrick is more interesting than Col Jessup in "A Few Good Men"

Typical Tesla earnings call: "It's true that revenue is down 30% but did you know that we're actually a [something futuristic] company." Stock price soars

How about, if you’re not a subject matter expert, particularly on int’l criminal law, you just refrain from opining on this matter in the NYTIMES?

Also, getting wrapped around the axle on the G word is a distraction from the necessity of stopping the slaughter.

Impunity does not change illegality. As some remedy, the world becomes smaller for those who engage in atrocities, including aggression. GWB once cancelled a trip to Switzerland over concern of possible arrest concerning past US torture practices.

Without basis in an AUMF I’d say this is less constitutionally firm than other interventions but agree it’s not “clearly unconstitutional.” As for illegality, domestic amnesties shouldn’t change the label.

Saying it’s not illegal is different from whether any court challenge in the U.S. is likely to succeed. That doesn’t make it legal. See Pinochet

No it’s not lawful. Any U.S. expert saying otherwise has failed to fully disclose their interests

U.S. military lawyers are ideologically diverse. You would expect robust debate on Iran. But so far the only ones willing to share their views in public are those in favor of preemptive strikes and regime change.
