The rule of law is at the center of modern constitutional thought. The phrase "rule of law" was coined in the late nineteenth century by A.V. Dicey, the influential British constitutional scholar.

Indeed, we often hear worries that government actions pose a threat to the rule of law or are vital to protecting that principle.

The 1 Silly Russia Can't Win a Major War
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, Europe* [image: https://pictures.reuters.com/archive/RUSSIA--GM1E8591C9801.html] Not tanks or nukes. But... *Key point:* Moscow might have a decent military, but without a comparable healthcare system it cannot sustain high casualties. Between the 1941 German invasion to the Soviet victory in Berlin in 1945 and the invasion of Manchuria that August, the Red Army would suffer more than 11 million dead and 15 million wounded — a shocking toll unprecedented and unmatched in history. To wage such a war, the Soviet Union relied on a total mobilization of... more »
The key to freedom then is to serve and search.
351. *Malice*, doubt, unbelief, impatience, laziness and other inspirations of darkness separate the earthly world from higher spheres. Instead of following the path of good, people attempt to replace ecstasy of spirit with various narcotics which give the illusion of other-world existence. Observe that in many religions there were introduced, as later adjuncts, very clever compounds of narcotics for the purpose of artificially advancing the consciousness beyond the earthly state. Indeed the infallibility of such forcible measures is great—they not only do not bring the finer r... more »

J. Fatman Nadler and his Liberal Legal Intelligentsia Sideshow
House Judiciary Committee chairman J. Fatman Nadler (D-N.Y.) taken over as ringmaster for the ongoing impeachment circus. He’s billing his opening act as an inquiry into the “historical and constitutional basis of impeachment” and “the Framers’ intent.” Don’t be fooled by Nadler’s scholarly posturing. He isn’t planning a civics lesson. Democrats are hell-bent on impeaching Trump, so Nadler has to rewrite American history and massage the meaning of the Constitution’s impeachment clause to fit the pile of non-evidence BS Adam Schiff’s Intelligence Committee has produced. They swear... more »

“Are You Prepared For The Coming Economic Collapse & Stock Market Crash?”
*“Are You Prepared For The Coming Economic * *Collapse & Stock Market Crash?”* by Epic Economist "In this video I will show you 30 signs that most Americans will be wiped out by the coming economic collapse and stock market crash. The vast majority of Americans are going to be absolutely blindsided by what is coming.

As a result, most Americans are simply not... more »
The MQ-25 Stingray Drone Can Solve The Navy's Aircraft Carrier Problem
*Kris Osborn* *Technology, * Carriers lack range thanks to advances in missile defenses. *Key point:* The emerging Navy MQ-25 Stingray program, to enter service in the mid-2020s, will bring a new generation of technology by engineering a first-of-its-kind unmanned re-fueler for the carrier air wing. The Navy will choose a new carrier-launched drone at the end of this year as part of a plan to massively expand fighter jet attack range and power projection ability of aircraft carriers. The emerging Navy MQ-25 Stingray program, to enter service in the mid-2020s, will bring a new ge... more »
Kel-Tec's Deadly PMR-30 Pistol Holds 17 Rounds, But What Is It Good For?
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * We take a look. *Key point*: Guns are meant for a variety of scenarios. The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a rarity among handguns on the market today: a pistol with a magazine holding more than seventeen rounds. The PMR-30 actually holds thirty rounds and does so with some clever engineering that reduces it to a lightweight package attractive to casual shooters, backcountry shooters, or people interested in a firearm for home defense. High-capacity handguns have traditionally been a difficult engineering proposition. The first, if not one of the first, was World... more »

The Combined Power of Storytelling, Logic and Irreverence: Reading Caitlin Johnstone & Nathan J. Robinson
I‘m not going to offer a big essay this week, but what I will say is that where much of the country is either politically unengaged (a cultural issue that goes all the way back to Alexis de Tocqueville’s observations about our populace hundreds of years ago), too strapped to pay attention, or consumed with attending one or both of our various political theaters—the latest spectaculars being the impeachment hearings and the Democratic presidential primaries—it… The post The Combined Power of Storytelling, Logic and Irreverence: Reading Caitlin Johnstone & Nathan J.

REPUBLICANS, TRIGGERED
Three law professors have made a strong case for impeachment in House Judiciary Committee hearings today, but the substance of their testimony threatens to be overshadowed by an orgy of right-wing fauxtrage, in response to this: An expert witness in Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing riffed on the name of the president’s teen son, Barron.... “Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 [of the Constitution] does not give him the power to do anything he wants,” testified Pamela Karlan, a professor at Stanford Law School. “The Constitution says there c... more »

2002, “Full Circle”
"A Look to the Heavens"
“What's happening to galaxy NGC 474? The multiple layers of emission appear strangely complex and unexpected given the relatively featureless appearance of the elliptical galaxy in less deep images. The cause of the shells is currently unknown, but possibly tidal tails related to debris left over from absorbing numerous small galaxies in the past billion years. Alternatively the shells may be like ripples in a pond, where the ongoing collision with the spiral galaxy just above NGC 474 is causing density waves to ripple though the galactic giant. *Click image for larger size.* Regard... more »
