Law as Performance and as TheorySanford Levinson This post was prepared for a roundtable on Law, Literature, and Other Performing Arts, convened as part of LevinsonFest 2022. Again, the first thing to do is to thank the participants in this gathering and the team of colleagues at UT without whom none of this would be possible, Ashley Moran, Richard Albert, and Trish Do. My gratitude is boundless. I think it is fair to say that the papers in this session are quite disparate, perhaps in keeping with the notional celebration of what I consider the best single thing I’ve ever been part of in my forty years at the... read more

Maine Neutralizes Theocratic SCOTUS Decision on SchoolsWhen the six-member American Taliban majority on the U. S. Supreme Court decided that Maine's state assistance to private schools (due to many students not having public schools available in rural areas) must include aid to religious private schools as well, many defenders of the separation of church and state were alarmed. As alarming as the 6-3 decision was, Maine anticipated a path around the ruling by preemptively passing a law that denies state assistance to any private school that discriminates against LGBTQ students--which, in essence, eliminate the hateful Christian madr... read more

What are most African nations thinking about Ukraine?
*Most African Countries Support Russia * *Zelensky called fifty-five African leaders for virtual meeting but only four of them attended* *By Lucas Leiroz (Researcher in Social Sciences at the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; geopolitical consultant)* Apparently, Volodymir Zelensky’s popularity in Ukraine is very low. The Ukrainian leader called for a virtual diplomatic meeting with African heads of state, but the event failed completely. Almost all African leaders declined to participate, hampering Zelensky’s plans to make the meeting a pro-Kiev propaganda... read more

Partitioning Russia - Washington's Plans for Russia's Future
The political leaders of the most influential Western nations are delighted with the prospect that their actions against Russia may be the catalyst needed to rid the world of Vladimir Putin. As you will see in this posting, merely ridding the world of the 21st century's version of Adolph Hitler (their words, not mine) isn't enough for the power hungry ruling class. As usual, let's open this posting with some background information to help you put everything into context.

Yes, Some Small Employers In Florida Can Be Sued For DiscriminationFor the most part, discrimination cases can only be filed against employers with at least 15 employees.

A new case out of the Third District Court of Appeals has confirmed that employees who work for employers in Miami-Dade County that have at least 5 employees can sue for discrimination in court.

Not since the reconstruction years have Democrats behaved so badly
"Shootings, while still up dramatically, 47%, compared to two years ago, are down 11% versus the same time last year." So what happened 2 years ago? George Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis policeman. This set off riots by BLM, Antifa, and neighborhood thugs in many cities. Self righteous white liberals put signs in their yards with black power fists to show solidarity and their own virtue. Preachers drove people from their churches with their finger wagging. It was OK to riot, but not to go to school or the gym. Non-covid deaths soared. It also put in place the Democrats' rally... read more

SO IS BRUEN THE REASON A FEW REPUBLICANS WENT ALONG WITH A GUN BILL?When the framework for a bipartisan bill addressing gun violence was annnounced on June 12, I predicted that the effort would go nowhere. I was wrong. The bill is now on the verge of final passage. I knew the bill was weak tea and was barely about guns at all. I knew that it could pass the House without Republican votes and that Republicans in the Senate who don't face reelection until 2024 or 2026 -- Mitch McConnell and Joni Ernst, for instance -- could vote for it secure in the knowledge that it will largely be forgotten by the time they're running again.

Emotional exhaustion is real. Your friendships don’t need to suffer.Shanée Benjamin for Vox How to be there for your people when you’re emotionally out of gas. In January, Bart Vijendra felt like the world’s worst friend. A few friends came down with Covid-19, another went through a terrible breakup, and they all needed a sympathetic ear. Vijendra, though, was incredibly burned out.
