Next BIW Civil Disobedience list
Below is the latest list we have of those seriously considering joining the civil disobedience (CD) action at Bath Iron Works in Maine during the next ‘christening’ of either a Zumwalt stealth destroyer or an Aegis destroyer. At this time, we don’t have the date for the next ‘christening’. We will spread word as soon as we hear something. With the current Poor People’s Campaign attempting to connect militarism, growing poverty, climate change and the surveillance society we think this action fits quite well in that context. The destroyers at BIW cost billions each, are provocat... more »

When Does a Carpenter Search Start—and When Does It Stop?
The Supreme Court’s recent decision in *Carpenter v. United States* raises lots of fascinating and novel Fourth Amendment questions. In this post I want to focus on one interesting and important set of questions: When does a *Carpenter* search start, and when does it stop?

Reflections on the Travel Ban Case and the Constitutional Status of Pretext
Credit: Wikimedia/Ravi The Supreme Court’s decision last week in *Trump v. Hawaii* came at a sensitive moment for the high court—a moment that mixed Trump anxiety with an end of term that frightened and angered many liberals and opponents of the president. Amplifying it all was the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy. The travel ban case itself was tailor-made to heighten all of these anxieties. It came down 5-4. And the court deferred to the president—from the perspective of many anti-Trumpers, deferring to him in all his Trumpiness. The travel ban was, after all, a kind of ur... more »

The Growing Partisan Divide in America and its Potential Outcome
There is little doubt that, over the last half century, the United States has been politically more divided than it is today. Thanks, in large part, to America's federally elected politicians, the divide and conquer approach has caused the conservative and liberal agendas to have less and less in common. The entire political landscape has shifted significantly and, to a significant portion of Americans, this shift is worrisome. First, let's look at how the United States political landscape has become increasingly disparate. According to research by the Pew Research Centre, over t... more »

A Schopenhauerian Dialogue Between The Subject and The Matter
Matter and intellect, according to Arthur Schopenhauer, are inseparable correlatives. They exist only for each other and therefore only relatively. In his essay, “On the Fundamental View of Idealism,” (Chapter 1; *The World as Will and Representation*, Volume II), he writes: “Matter is the representation of the intellect; the intellect is that in the representation of which alone matter exists. Both together constitute the world as representation, which is precisely Kant's phenomenon, and consequently something secondary. What is primary is that which appears, namely the thing-in-i... more »

Fishwrap Friday
*Tired of Winning Yet?* The Supreme Court recently issued a decision called Janus v. AFSCME. In this decision, SCOTUS said that unions could not force non-union employees to pay union dues. Unions argued these dues were required to cover the cost of collective bargaining, from which these people would benefit. They specifically stated they would not go to political lobbying. The court disagreed and stopped the unions. *Now* the same unions who claimed these funds did not go to leftist political groups are whining *that they have had to drop their lobbying donations by as much as 3... more »
