Former State Department Legal Adviser—Harold Koh (@YaleLawSch @Yale)—on the Supreme Court's #TravelBan opinion

"Trump v. Hawaii: Korematsu’s Ghost and National Security Masquerades"

cross-posted with our friends @SCOTUSblog
justsecurity.org/58615/trump-v-…
"Korematsu was overruled in the court of public opinion—through concerted action on many fronts—decades before the Roberts court belatedly pronounced it dead. To finally inter Korematsu’s ghost we will all need to keep resisting these new national-security masquerades"
Harold Koh
After SCOTUS loss, "litigants will surely seek out international fora...European countries will need to think hard about whether giving assistance in implementing the ban through air travel to the United States runs up against their responsibilities to respect religious freedom."

A deeeep dive:

"Major Takeaways from #MichaelCohen's Plea on Trump Moscow Project"

By @K8brannen and @rgoodlaw

with quotes from Just Security experts @normative @AndyMcCanse @lrozen @alexgwhiting @renato_mariotti
justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
Readers may be especially interested in the section titled:

"How might the Moscow Project connect up with allegations of collusion?"

which connects revelations in the Cohen guilty plea to great reporting by other journalists and analysts

justsecurity.org/61671/major-ta…
If Cohen is cooperating like this on Russia investigation, imagine what he may provide prosecutors in campaign finance (hush money) investigation.

Brannen and Goodman's analysis of Cohen's plea also refers to this earlier piece by @ThePaulSRyan:

Exclusive: U.N. Human Rights Experts Directly Engage With Facebook on "Overly Broad" Definitions in Regulating Terrorist Content

UN expert sends letter, two sides meet. So, how was the meeting?
justsecurity.org/60554/exclusiv…
UN Rapporteur @NiAolainF:

“I wish to emphasize the importance of ensuring that any relevant definitions adopted and employed by #Facebook are compatible with standards set by international law, including international #humanrights law and international humanitarian law.”
UN Rapporteur @davidakaye:

“It undermines the ability of #Facebook to push back against the efforts of governments to impose ever broader definitions of terrorism…when the standard is not tied closely to standards in #humanrights law and other international instruments.”

#SCOTUS delivered a monumentally intelligent and juridically logical decision but that would’ve been completely different had the wrong justices been appointed. There is no such thing as absolute truth. Our brave republic could go topsy-turvy in the flash of an instance.
What used to be mainstream media is now dead. What
were conventional political parties are on life-support. Everything is changing and the #DS and #ShadowGovernment are panicking. Behold the power of civilian and citizen journalism and enjoy your front row seat to #revolution.

Chief Justice Roberts bristled at Justice Sotomayor’s comparison of his #TravelBan decision to Korematsu. Why? Because the truth hurts.
And some ways, this decision is even more shameful: slate.com/news-and-polit…
Korematsu is dead, long live the new Korematsu:
slate.com/news-and-polit…
3/ “if Kennedy retires, his mixed legacy on civil liberties will end on a shameful note, denying voting rights and ignoring evidence of bad-faith religious discrimination. The majority seemed genuinely concerned with anti-religious bias in Masterpiece Cakeshop, but...”

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
