Besides, it is actually the institution which b...

These are, of course, highly scripted affairs, but for outsiders, they offer one of the few windows into North Korean policy-making which we have. The speeches and reports released provide at least a general sense of where the North Korean elite sees the cou...

More Questions About Section Three
Gerard N. Magliocca, Balkinization - 14 hours ago
Needless to say, I'm getting many questions about Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment. Let me go through a few of them. 1. How would this apply to members of Congress? My view is that the members of Congress who voted to reject the certification of the Electoral Votes are not ineligible under Section Three. It's not even close. They were voting in a legal process and speaking out on the floor to explain those votes. This is not an insurrection under any standard. There is another issue about Congressman Brooks, who apparently spoke at the rally that preceded the mob action....

The disclosure was lauded because of the bug’s severity; buried in a cryptographic library, it would have allowed opportunistic attackers to decipher encrypted web traffic and disguise malware as legitimate code from Microsoft or other vendors.

Victoria Nuland’s Nomination Should Be Rejected
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 7 hours ago
Victoria Nuland, former foreign policy adviser to vice president Dick Cheney, should not be nominated for Undersecretary of State, and if nominated should be rejected by the Senate. During the Obama Administration Nuland served as Hillary Clinton's Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs. Her foreign policy views are troublingly close to those of her husband, Robert Kagan, who co-founded the Project for a New American Century in the late 90’s.

The endless footage of riots in and around the Capitol building put a sudden end to what had become a political and democratic tragedy. That all this was occurring while a pandemic raged through the country, receiving scant attention from the occupant of the Oval Office, is a failure of major proportions. That millions had lost their health coverage in the Trump era was of little significa...
