Michael Perry and human rightsI've just posted on SSRN my contribution to a forthcoming festschrift issue, in the Emory Law Review, on the work of the distinguished legal theorist Michael Perry. Here is the abstract: Michael Perry’s lifelong project has been to give a philosophical account of human rights. His claims rest at many points on controversial and undefended value choices. They hang together in that all are attractive, and they do not contradict one another. They forcefully state a political ideal. But the claims of entailment are unpersuasive. What he offers is less a philosophical account tha... read more

UK Crony Capitalism: John Penrose MP – he’s an anti-corruption champion?“Unimaginable resources” were thrown at Test and Trace. Yet it “cannot point to a measurable difference to the progress of the pandemic”. That’s what the Conservative-majority Public Accounts Committee found. There was a measurable difference, though, for the owners of the biggest of the pandemic contract winners, Innova. The LA Times reported that they flashed “an Innova bank statement with a $175-million balance as proof of funds”. They also went on “a corporate and personal luxury buying spree”, including several Gulfstream jets and luxury houses. read more

Private Enforcement Mechanisms and YouThree points about the Texas mess and one suggestion. First, of course we know that the Texas law SB8 is an attack on abortion jurisprudence. But the Court already has the Dobbs case to mess with/eliminate the right to abortion. (Dobbs is the case being briefed in the Supreme Court now concerning a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.). So why use this dubious procedural morass to stop abortion? What they have here is an even quieter way than was anticipated to ban abortion without explicitly overruling Roe and getting the people all worked up. Do th... read more

Every failing of the United States already in existence came into sharp relief when the pandemic struck. Joe Biden has done nothing to alleviate these many crises.
