Me, from March 2026 at @prospectmagazine.co.uk: how the US guided missile attack on a school in Minab looks like a war crime. Now it is a compelling Article of Impeachment against Hesgeth. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Terrorism law should be taken seriously, but the proscription of Palestine Action makes terrorism law look silly.

No fan of Massie’s policy positions, but this is the spirit for the impeachment.

Worth reading the full Hegseth Articles of Impeachment. Especially good to see Articles IV (including the Minab school strike) and V (the murders on the high sea). Now for Congress to do its job.

According to the town crier, King Charles has already made plans to rule without Parliament. Thomas Strafford and Archbishop Laud will run the show.

The Attorney General of the United States is not Stephen Miller’s personal lawyer. And therein lies the problem.

For Trump "enshrine in law" means building a shrine to himself and protecting it by law.

Interesting to read the actual text about the role of the court. No fan of Newsom but this is welcome move in any state.

Scott Colom is a very fine lawyer whose appointment as a federal judge was blocked by Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. So he stands against her in the senate elections. This is the spirit.

"Trump offers Musk preemptive pardon" There really needs to be a consideration of what "pardons" actually mean. They don't - shouldn't - remove criminal liability. They only - should only - excuse punishment of a proven or admitted crime. A "preemptive" pardon doesn't - shouldn't - make sense.

Always a pleasure to watch a misconceived and illiberal legal action begin to fall apart when the bullied do not capitulate to the bully. BBC not safe yet, but they can be happy with current developments. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If Trump was not a Russian agent, there would be no objective way of telling the difference. Everything he does, and does not do, serves Russian interests. Even serving more than his own interests, at times. Extraordinary subservience.
