The has voted for a non-compliance motion on anti-strike laws (specifically minimum service requirements).

Sometimes the is maintained by not complying with unjust laws - maintaining through that the idea of the rule of law is being violated by unjust laws themselves, which those protesting such injustice should break.

This political manoeuvre has a long pedigree, from movements across history;
can the TUC can tap into that history?

@kerouac666 @tchambers I’m not an attorney, but according to at least one site mugshots across the United States in all jurisdictions are part of the public record, just like court transcripts for example, and are in the public domain. I’d love a copyright expert to weigh in. Local and state laws / statutes are also public record and can not be paywalled if online. Why PACER isn't free is a whole other thing. pacerfeesclassaction.com/Home.

@davidallengreen on whether just having a written is the answer:

'Liberal constitutionalists need to realise that their opponents also care about constitutional arrangements & constitutional legitimacy, but do so in a very different way & within a very different narrative.

The battle is not about constitutionalism against anti-constitutionalism.

It is between two contrasting & irreconcilable views of constitutions & what can be done with them'

The derails of the miscarriage of just get worse.... after three years the evidence was there that pretty clearly threw his conviction into serious doubt... but it would be about THIRTEEN years until he was freed....

For the to be effective justice has to be seen to be done... the & the in this case have served both the victim & Malkinson very badly.

It never fails to impress me how any national problem can become an excuse for restoration of border controls. I wonder if the Commission will keep not demanding clear evidence of potential threats in line with CJEU case law

Questions for the and bubbles, please boost:

The terms of Polish and judges Safjan, Półtorak and Kowalik-Bańczyk have ended, but they are still active at the bench. (Recent cases mention them as members of the sitting chamber.)

1) Has Poland refused to nominate replacements or have the Polish candidates failed confirmation (by the 255 panel or other gov's)?

2) What is the legal basis for a judge serving after tenure?

Hmmm.... while clearly correct that legality has been used to mask injustice & murder, the difficulty is what happens when you dispense with the ;

for Anarchists, self-ordering human relations will emerge, but I'm less certain; I spent time thinking about these issues & ended up writing a book defending the Rule of Law, albeit in a qualified manner;

The alternative to a badly operating RoL is not to rid ourselves of it but to make it work better.

Israel: Police are going full ACAB on protestors, using water cannons and "Skunk water".

Meanwhile the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad[*] are opposing Netanyahu's judicial reforms.

How far will this escalate?

[*]No, I hadn't noticed their concerns about democracy in the Occupied Territories either. But apparently they have stronger principles in Israel proper.

Israel: Netanyahu's security minister Ben-Gvir says the current Law is *only the first step* in the "democratisation" (sic!) of Israel.

Judicial Appointments Committee and "powers of prosecutors" are next.

The IT scandal continues to offer opportunities for outrage at the treatment of innocent sub-postmasters, the impunity of the managers & IT firms involved and the general lack of interest in failures in the - this is an issue that goes to the heart of so much that is wrong in a country where the interests of outweigh social justice (or any justice for that matter)!

Why do we call the “conservative.” Call them what they are; and . They have no interest preserving what they find to be the best of the USA. They are radical nihilists who want to blow up whatever offends them on any given day. Their main goal seems to be to return us to the 19th century, hardly a conservative goal. There is nothing about this crowd that is restrained or respectful of institutions or the .
