Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

by Jack Goldsmithvia Lawfare
Friday, January 3, 2020

The U.S. drone strike in Iraq against the commander of Iran’s Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, raises once again the question of legal constraints—under domestic and international law—on the president’s power to use force unilaterally. I have written a legal opinion in government and many, many pieces out of government on this issue, and over the years I have grown very cynical about the supposed legal constraints on those war powers.

Friday, January 3, 2020

The best writers crave a fresh angle on old stories. Dutch historian Frank Dikotter’s fresh angle on 20th century dictators is how tediously alike they all were in creating and cultivating a cult of personality, if such a thing can exist for mass killers.
