Mike Pompeo approach to North Korea

mardi 1 mai 2018 à 02:00

Pompeo won't reject an invasion of North Korea, which would be expected to kill 30,000 to 300,000 US soldiers in the first few days. I expect that implies ten times as many Koreans killed.

I would love to see the Kim regime replaced, since the replacement could hardly be worse, but that doesn't mean launching an invasion to do it is justified.

SCROTUS have invented a new legal excuse to cancel government regulations that were established years ago.

More info.

One thing I don't understand is why this is easier for them than passing an ordinary law to cancel a given regulation. If anyone finds an explanation, I'd like to see it.

A court case requires new legislative districts in North Carolina, but the cheater party drew the new districts so as to preserve their gerrymandered handicap. It looks like democracy in North Carolina is dead for years.
