NSPM-7, a national security memorandum issued in September 2025, marks a major turn in counterterrorism policy. The memo labels “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-American” views as possible warning signs, even though data show most domestic political violence originates on the right.

My survey experiment from 2017 & 2023 ➡️ information on customary international law significantly decreases support for potentially violative uses of force, especially paired with statements that IOs have found similar behavior violations. Decrease in support partially mediated by morality concerns.

A constitutional principle like the "unitary executive theory" isn't worth all that much if the Supreme Court can conjure new, unprincipled exceptions to it by simply asserting that they exist.
