Wearing a little history today, a subtle nod to educators who resisted tyranny - and a learning opportunity for students who ask about it. They won't get an answer of course, but they will get an invitation to look it up for themselves. Cultivating curiosity is more effective than demanding it.

Here's part of The Petition of Right in delivered to King Charles I in 1628, referencing Parliament's restriction of King Edward III's authority in 1340, laws and events familiar to the founders when they anchored our government on the rule of law. Close to 700 years of law are under attack today.

Came across these clauses from the Magna Carta while reading Richard Ovenden's "Burning the Books" - made we wonder if the Supreme Court has a copy. We're witnessing more than the destruction of a system of rights developed in 1789 - we're watching the ones from 1215 evaporate before our very eyes

For the record, it doesn't take more than a minute to find the the text of Public Law 81-216, 63 Statute 578, otherwise known at the National Security Act Amendments of 1949. nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/286...

Another example of how the @nytimes.com aids and abets the destruction of the rule of law. If the President signed an Executive Order renaming the country as the "United States of Trump" the NYTimes would probably report it just the same way

4 of the 27 specific grievances leveled against King George III in the Declaration of Independence are especially relevant today. We submitted these facts "to a candida world" to prove the King's "direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States."

Did the NYTimes always have a problem? In 1973 it called Jeb Magruder's suggestion that the Nixon Administration use the IRS and Justice Department to "get the media" just a "News Media Move". Maybe the difference today is that such tactics wouldn't be enough to even merit a sigh.
