My post on why WTO Members should bring pure non-violation claims against national security measures is now up on the IELP blog. Short version: you can't lose, it should be fast(er), nobody gets upset, you preserve the WTO, and you get what really matters: worldtradelaw.typepad.com/ielpblog/2018/…
Thanks to @snlester for posting it and to @JAHillmanGULaw for encouraging me to write it. Previous twitter discussions on this issues are here and here
1. The complainant can’t lose
2. The complainant should get a ruling fast
3. The complainant doesn’t upset anyone
4. The complainant preserves the rules-based trading system
5. The complaint focuses on what really matters

My paper “How Should We Think About Winners and Losers? Three Narratives and Their Implications for the Redesign of Int Econ Agts” is now on SSRN. I argue that the Trump, Establishment and Critical narratives each have irreducible normative elements /1 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
I argue that the Trump narrative is structured around a "jobs-as-property" metaphor, according to which US workers are entitled to their jobs in a way that is akin to a property right; this rings true for workers who feel that their jobs are bound up with identity and status. /2
The "jobs-as-property" metaphor also assimilates jobs to physical objects that can be "stolen" and "shipped away", as illustrated by this screenshot from Narravo's documentary. This aspect of the Trump narrative suggest a simple solution: the jobs must be "brought back". /3

Are (legal and/or illegal) "foreigners" CURRENTLY afforded the "Right of Due Process"?

I'm NOT a lawyer; I'm just trying to get a BASIC IDEA about this subject matter.

NOTE the source in this (2014) link; it starts with some international concepts.

ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewconten…
- ".. citizenship has been thought of as the relationship of an individual to a sovereign government, encompassing the obligations of each to the other."

- ".. aliens, on the other hand, (were) defined more in terms of obligations between the state and the alien’s home state.."
- ".. because states—rather than individuals—were considered the subjects of international law.."

- ".. stateless individuals were essentially at the mercy of all states in whose territories they might find themselves.."

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. "

1) Long read forthcoming. Topic: Are Flynn's network of spooks taking down corruption in the DOJ and FBI?

Much credit to @Thomaswictor for his brilliant work. This is an analysis of what he proposes - which lines up nicely with what we discovered with our own work.
2) Who is David Cattler and why is that relevant to Flynn's plea?

whitehouse.gov/the-press-offi…

Cattler's position on the NSC senior staff was created by Flynn, one of two new deputy assistant positions he created within the NSC.
3) This is important because Cattler was approved and granted TS/SCI clearance along with the other senior NSC staff hand picked by Flynn - this allows him access to see raw SIGINT without violating national security - something denied to many other Trump appointees in Jan/Feb:
