Make no mistake, if the 14th Amendment should fall - I am not saying it will, there are plenty of obstacles, I am speaking hypothetically - but if it should fall, no one is safe. It is challenging for most families to prove legal citizenship beyond a generation or two.

Clive James wrote that it is harder to write great prose than great poetry. Donne's sermons perhaps support his judgement.

It's not credible the US would fight a nuclear war over Europe if they aren't willing to contribute conventionally.

April 22, 1924: It’s probably the best-known anecdote about Calvin Coolidge. A woman seated next to him at a dinner tells the famously taciturn president she made a bet that she’d be able to get at least 3 words out him. Without missing a beat, he responds, “You lose.” 1/4

If a judge makes a decision on their own, only their own biases will influence the verdict. In a jury, consensus needs to be reached.
Jurors aren’t impartial – that’s exactly why they are so important to justice

As far as I can see, this nat sec strategy is far harsher on Europe than on Russia. There is no mention of a threat from Russia or of deterrence, only that "re-establishing strategic stability" is a priority. Europe is cast as a major threat to freedom. A radical, dangerous document.

The Trump National Security Strategy is an act of vandalism against the things that actually make our country strong, safe, and prosperous.

Jurors do get multiple warnings. The temptation to discuss a case with a fellow juror outside the room is also intense. Especially in a very emotive trial. I get it but jurors shouldn’t do it.

The presumption is that the case should only be prosecuted in court. What about the risk of bad actors doing “their own research”?
