As NATO Grows, China and Russia Seek to Bring Iran, Saudi Arabia Into
Fold: Finland and Sweden’s green light to join NATO is set to bring about the U.S.-led Western military alliance’s largest expansion in decades. Meanwhile, the G7, consisting of NATO states and fellow U.S.
ally Japan, has adopted a tougher line against Russia and China.

Russia and China slam NATO after alliance raises alarm: “We live in a more dangerous world and we live in a more unpredictable world, and we live in a world where we have a hot war going on in Europe,” Stoltenberg said. “At the same time, we also know that this can get worse if this becomes a full scale war between Russia and NATO.”

Why sanctions against Russia haven’t worked in the past and they won’t work in the future: Russians feel the impact of Western economic measures, but it’s far from unbearable: “I don’t care about them, about these sanctions,” President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Russian media. This sentiment was shared by the Russian people.

To Indict Trump or Run Against Him? That’s Democrats’ Toughest Question:
As the live hearings progress, speculation has mounted about the possibility of bringing charges against former President Donald Trump.
This raises a key question for Democrats: how indictments against Trump would affect their political campaigns against him and his Republican supporters.

America’s experiment in democracy requires radical struggle to move us
forward: The social, and especially the political institutions of the United States, have, for the whole of the current century, been the subject in Europe, not merely of curious speculation, but of the deepest interest. We have been regarded as engaged in trying a great experiment, involving not merely the future fate and welfare of this Western continent, but the hopes and prospects of the whole human race.

Defining when human life begins is not a question science can answer – it’s a question of politics and ethical values: Now that the U.S.
Supreme Court has given states final say over if and when abortions are legal, the political debates over abortion rights will intensify in legislatures and courthouses around the nation.

Where abortion ‘trigger laws’ stand after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade: Trigger laws, laws that are enacted by certain circumstances. In this case, they were implemented in anticipation of the fall of the 1973 decision, which held that states can’t ban abortion before viability, the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb. Some laws were enacted almost immediately, while others will take effect within 30 days or require a state official to first certify that the court’s opinion does overturn Roe.

Ginni Thomas Isn’t the Only Problem With the Supreme Court. It’s a fundamentally undemocratic institution. Another explosive controversy swept over the Supreme Court last week. The Washington Post and CBS News reported that after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni repeatedly texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, urging him to overturn the election somehow. That immediately brought attention to Justice Thomas’s lone vote against allowing the January 6 committee in Congress access to Trump administration communication, including those very texts.

20 ways the Supreme Court just changed America: The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will create two Americas when it comes to abortion access, the mostly red states where abortion is illegal in most circumstances, and the mostly blue states where it is mostly available with restrictions. But this cleaving in the United States will go far beyond abortion access, affecting healthcare, criminal legal system and politics, at all levels, in the coming years.

The Core of the Case against Judicial Review: This Essay states the case against judicial review of legislation clearly and in a way that is uncluttered by discussions of particular decisions or the history of its emergence in particular systems of constitutional law. The Essay criticizes judicial review on two main grounds. First, it argues that there is no reason to suppose that rights are better protected by this practice than they would be by democratic legislatures. Second, it argues that, quite apart from the outcomes it generates, judicial review is democratically illegitimate.

In Texas, you can be charged with murder without physically killing anyone. Here’s why. Under Texas penal code, if someone is involved in a crime and “intended to kill… or anticipated that a human life would be taken,” that person can be charged with capital murder. “This case is textbook for how someone is guilty of capital murder even when they didn’t pull the trigger,” prosecutor Timothy Rodgers said during closing arguments.

Courts: Without federal protection for the right to an abortion after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v.
