  2. The Law Is a Blunt Instrument by Lawson Akhigbe

    In the fearful months and years following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, Western democracies faced an unenviable dilemma. Their citizens demanded protection from an enemy that recognised no borders, wore no uniforms and deliberately targeted civilians.

  3. When Tactical Brilliance Meets Strategic Confusion: Washington’s Iran Problem by Lawson Akhigbe

    But wars are not graded like Olympic gymnastics. There are no medals for technical execution if the end result leaves your opponent intact, emboldened, or—worse—adapted.

  4. A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

    The most important factor in getting the right spirit in my Administration, next to the insistence upon courage, honesty, and a genuine democracy of desire to serve the plain people, was my insistence upon the theory that the executive power was limited only by specific restrictions and prohibitions appearing in the Constitution or imposed by the Congress under its Constitutional powers. My view was that every executive officer, and above all every executive officer in high position, was a steward of the people bound actively and affirmatively to do all he could for the people, and not to content himself with the negative merit of keeping his talents undamaged in a napkin. I declined to adopt the view that what was imperatively necessary for the Nation could not be done by the President unless he could find some specific authorization to do it. My belief was that it was not only his right but his duty to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws. Under this interpretation of executive power I did and caused to be done many things not previously done by the President and the heads of the departments. I did not usurp power, but I did greatly broaden the use of executive power. In other words, I acted for the public welfare, I acted for the common well-being of all our people, whenever and in whatever manner was necessary, unless prevented by direct constitutional or legislative prohibition.

    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
    Autobiography, ch. 10 "The Presidency" (1913)

  5. The time #Americans
    accepted to lower the requirements of honesty, morality, integrity of the #Presidency to satisfy their racism,
    they condemned the #Nation to ruin.

    The criminal stupidity of '#Presidential immunity' assured Disaster,
    The economic, diplomatic collapse are obvious consequences
    The loss of #Congress authority, the Tombstone for #Democracy and liberty.

    It all happened under the eyes and scrutiny of the 'We the People'
    who let it happen

    it was a #National suicide > voluntary.

  6. All the president’s millions: how the Trumps are turning the #presidency into riches

    - A crusading prosecutor in the #Balkans comes under pressure to drop a big case
    - #Vietnamese villagers learn they are to be #evicted
    - A convicted #crypto kingpin in the #Gulf receives a #pardon

    All have one thing in common: they appear to be connected to the #Trump family’s campaign to amass #riches around the world
