Many of the ailments MSM heals are associated with the wear and tear of aging and overworking of joints, muscles, and other sensitive body parts. It also helps to grow healthy hair,... read more

ON ABORTION, ALITO INVOKES DEMOCRACY IN THE STATES, WHERE IT MIGHT BE DEAD
Jamelle Bouie notes that Samuel Alito's draft abortion decision imagines reproductive rights being decided via representative democracy. “In some states,” [Alito] writes, “voters may believe that the abortion right should be even more extensive than the right that Roe and Casey recognized.” Voters in other states, he continues, “may wish to impose tight restrictions based on their belief that abortion destroys an ‘unborn human being.’” He concludes that “Our nation’s historical understanding of ordered liberty does not prevent the people’s elected representatives from deciding how ... read more

Fishkin on dissent: The transcendent importance of the Thirteenth Amendment
I want to underscore my agreement with Joseph Fishkin's arguments about what the dissents should say.

That is the argument, argued valiantly for years by Andy Koppelman (and in a book published a while ago by Eileen McDonaugh) that the strongest textual argument by far is the Thirteenth Amendment. There are moments when I think the Constitution would be just as well off without the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, at least if we had really taken the... read more

Not so. Studies by the WHO have shown us that health care spending by governments in poorer nations has been relatively flat during the pand... read more
A Manufactured Crisis In Ukraine Is Victimizing The World’s Peoples
With the conflict in Ukraine entering its third month, the likelihood of a successfully negotiated peace — an immediate necessity — is becoming ever more remote.
