I'm a thinker, not a fame seeker. I'm a progressive, or what is more, a radical Humanist. I don't pay attention to titles, I pay attention to intellectual substance. And though I love theory, I recognize its abstract limits. Knowledge, as privilege, means social responsibility.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

4. Still, if you had told the Constitutional Convention that the president’s title as commander-in-chief would eventually supersede Congress’ enumerated power to declare war, the delegates would’ve been rushing for the exits. What’s happening now is a gruesome inversion of the constitutional design.

1. Yes, Trump launching a new military operation overseas without Congress’ prior declaration of war or authorization of force is almost certainly unlawful.
2. No, there is no real chance the courts will stop it.
Unfortunately our Constitution means little when the judiciary won’t enforce it.

Under the UN Charter, use of force against another state is illegal absent self-defense or Security Council authorization. Bombing a sovereign country & forcibly removing its head of state meets the legal definition of war. With No UN approval & no congressional authorization. He must be removed!

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

The Constitution does say that only Congress has the power to declare war.
The Constitution does not say the President has immunity from criminal prosecution.
That's it; that's my rather compelling law review article.

The malignant and pathological forces of darkness in the world don’t want rational dialogue, they want to do away with dialogue. They’re all nihilists and irrationalists, they want to reduce social tensions to might makes right, because the world they want cannot be justified by reason.
