Republicans and Democrats, together, should regard this week’s developments as the last straw.

Here, I find myself rooting against both sides.

While it portends no economic benefits for the U.S., it is an absolute coup for Putin.

When the rule of law gives way to ideological passions and partisan score-settling, then we no longer have trials worthy of the name.

When Congress says judges have no immigration jurisdiction, that means all judges, including progressive activist ones.

Congress does, and the Supreme Court is merely demanding that judges follow it.

Consider it an indictment of Trump lawfare against political enemies and scapegoats.

British counterterrorism has traveled a path very different from America’s approach.

What the president and his associates are doing is probably illegal. Whether any legal action could successfully be brought is another matter.

Trump is pressuring the courts in his renaming campaign, but this is yet another abuse of presidential power that only Congress can address.

The tech can’t be stopped. Policy is going to require grown-up behavior.

Undermining the rule of law and a relatively free market will have long-term ramifications.

His removal hinges on a profound constitutional question that was not before the Second Circuit.

Two data points from this past week alone compel us to closely examine, once more, the role and reach of the Islamist organization.

Unlike the gangs allegedly behind the ships targeted in the Caribbean, groups backed by Turkey’s leader engage in what federal law defines as terrorist activity.

The president has been ordered to pay $5 million, and he may be on the hook for much more.

This is not how the protection of concretely described privacy interests is supposed to work.

The war powers resolution taken up by the Senate this past week — along with the angst over it — is part of a show.

‘Death to America’ is not just a slogan.

I didn’t want this, but I can’t say it was unforeseeable.

For now, there are many questions about who was conspiring to do what, and how.

Eminent public figures have been brought low because they associated with Epstein, while Democratic candidates’ past lives are apparently out of bounds.

Trump can turn to the courts.

The DOJ is still trying to use that potential outcome as a carrot to induce him to plead guilty. Africa is the stick.
