From a constitutional perspective, it’s amazing that POTUS decides on his own judgment, or whim, whether and how to go in to Syria and whether and how to leave, and everything else about the sprawling global war against IS and AQ, and associates, and associates of associates, etc
Our 17-year war is entirely under control of POTUS. Congress authorized a relatively narrow use of force on 9/14/01 & has appropriated & hand-waived ever since while presidents—Bush, Obama, Trump—have determined practically everything else.
Eg: Heavy footprint in Afghan. and Iraq, plus surge; light footprint in Iraq and Afghanistan plus expanded drones; expanding war geographically to many nations; expand to associates and their associates; expanding to ISIS; expand to Syria; leave Syria; when/how to use cyber; etc.

This extraordinarily honest and insightful essay by @samuelmoyn is a must-read for law students and especially law professors and law school deans. It is a fundamental critique of the role of law schools in American society in less than 2500 words. chronicle.com/article/Law-Sc…
The piece is addressed to progressives who dominate law school culture. It criticizes court-centrism and the sharp clinical turn in law schools, and chides super elite-seeking law students who complain about the elitism of their institutions, which aim to perpetuate elitism.
Sam’s primary prescription, with details in the essay: “[L]aw schools will need to consider how to reset their missions for those students no longer able to suspend disbelief about how their ideals and their training fit together.”

One month after Trump appointed Whitaker as Acting AG, Mueller and SDNY are still plunging ahead, including Friday’s filing that implicated POTUS in criminal activity. Whitaker hasn’t, as many feared, interfered.
It’s yet another remarkable success story for DOJ independence despite the machinations of the President who nominally, but only nominally, controls DOJ. This Executive branch is unitary in theory but not in practice.
I'll soon be adding the reaction to Whitaker to this list. lawfareblog.com/cycles-panicke…

THREAD: 2018 has seen a diversification of quality reporting and uptick in exposure of the mass repression of #Uighurs and other Turkic Muslim minorities in western #China, by media, academics, and civil society groups across the world.
.@RFA Uyghur Service should be commended for its long-standing and fearless reporting on the situation in #Xinjiang, way before the current human rights crisis began to unfold. See its reporting here: rfa.org/english/news/u…, esp. the series of interviews w/ victims/families.
Despite government restrictions, major international media outlets have produced several deep-dive investigative pieces, based on satellite imagery, interviews with victims and/or their families, procurement documents on Chinese government websites, and field visits.

And in that context, bravo Ireland: joe.ie/news/ireland-b…. Except while it's been removed from the Constitution, there is a *new* law--2009--banning "publication or utterance of blasphemous matter." And that remains.
So when you see the headline, "Ireland Repeals its Medieval Blaspemy Laws," well ... yes and no. It changed its Constitution (which can only be done by referendum). But within very recent memory it passed the 2009 Defamation Act, which remains, and I don't know about you, but--
This sounds positively Savonarola to me:

36.— (1) A person who publishes or utters blasphemous matter shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable upon conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding €25,000.

Accessible introductory information (as it sticks closely to the #PrimarySource, the #Senate's #CIA #TortureReport):

" Read the Senate’s executive summary of the CIA torture report
The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "
