South Korea’s President Commits Self-Immolation
Doug Bandow Rarely has a politician so completely destroyed his career in so little time. In the space of about six hours, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared and then abandoned martial law. In a country with a long heritage of military rule, he bungled the attempt, as legislators outwitted Special Forces troops deployed to seize the National Assembly building and “drag out the people” by voting to overturn his decision. His attempt to override political opposition to […]

“Regulation of Algorithms” Panel at Federalist Society Faculty Conference,
I much enjoyed participating, and I hope some of you will enjoy watching. Here’s the panel description: Opaque algorithms shape what news stories you see on social media, dictate how artificial intelligence answers prompts, and can even decide whether applicants get a mortgage or a job interview.

Sinto que estou à beira da loucura, o vazio me in… Joyce Noites
Sinto que estou à beira da loucura, o vazio me invade com uma força que nem Morfeu consegue amenizar.

From Monday’s U.S. v. Daniels decision, written by Fifth Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, joined by Judge Don Willett: Title 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(3) bars an individual from possessing a firearm if he is an “unlawful user” of a controlled substance. A jury found that Patrick Daniels, Jr., was such an unlawful user, and a judge sentenced him to nearly four years in prison. But the jury did not necessarily find that Daniels was intoxicated at the time of […]

More than four in 10 public school teachers in Chicago were chronically absent last year, according to a new report released by the Illinois State Board of Education. Chronically absent teachers missed 10 or more days of school, including sick days and other personal leave, but not including most long-term leave, such as parental or medical leave, according to the report. The problem isn’t confined to Chicago. While 41 percent of Chicago teachers were chronically absent, 34 percent […]
