The US Supreme Court minority in Hamdan: executive rule in the “state of exception” The recent minority judgment of the US Supreme Court in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld sanctions unfettered executive power in the government’s bogus and never-ending “war on terror”.

But the ife’s ‘prelim...

Angelides is no actor, and Arnold's no moderate Phil Angelides has a tough row to hoe at the moment. He is just not as telegenic and physically appealing as our current movie star governor and -- in an age when television is the primary medium by which the majority of voters get to know political candidates on the state and national level -- he is clearly at something of a disadvantage....

How Rahm Emanuel Has Rigged a Pro-War Congress "Democrats Split Over Timetable For Troops; In Close Races, Most Reject Rapid Pullout," the headline atop page one of the Sunday Washington Post informed us as the election season got underway (8/27). Stories like this abound these days, and they should all be prefaced with the single word, "betrayal." Only 17% of rank and file Democrats are for "staying the course," 53% want immediate withdrawal and another 25% are for gradual withdrawal. Among all voters, only 30% want to stay the course, ...
