In a year where 64 countries are holding elections, courts around the world must engage with a range of questions around electoral integrity and dysfunction, i.e., with the judicialization of electoral processes.

Throttling Miranda: Right Wing Ideologues Support The Government Against The Individual, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.

The 1966 Miranda v. Arizona decision is arguably the most important and undeniably the most famous of all U.S. Supreme Court criminal procedure decisions. The noble purpose of this legal landmark is to prevent Americans taken into custody by police on criminal charges from being subjected to improper interrogation practices calculated to compel citizens to incriminate themselves.
Few people realize that since the early 1970s the Supreme Court has been stealthily choking the life out of Miranda. The latest example of this process of slow strangulation occurred a few weeks ago, on June 1, when the Court in Berghuis …

Rfk And The Jfk Assassination: Bobby Never Bought The Lone-Gunman Theory, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Popular Media
One of the myths propagated by defenders of the Warren Commission and the Warren Commission Report is the canard that President John F. Kennedy's brother Robert accepted the commission's conclusion, embodied in its Report, that JFK's assassination was committed by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, and that there was no conspiracy behind the president's murder.
What The Swiss Miss (Review Of Friedrich Durrenmatt, Selected Writings), Kenneth Anderson
What The Swiss Miss (Review Of Friedrich Durrenmatt, Selected Writings), Kenneth Anderson
Popular Media
The Swiss playwright and novelist Friedrich Durrenmatt (1921-90) is remembered among English-language audiences primarily as the author of the 1956 play, The Visit of the Old Lady. He is, however, a leading playwright and novelist, primarily of detective fiction, of Europe and the German language in the post-war period. This review from the Wall Street Journal examines the full body of his work in a three volume selection of his writings published by the University of Chicago. One important consideration is Durrenmatt's place as a German language writer, yet Swiss, rather than German, following the horrors of the Second World …
Law And Terror, Kenneth Anderson
Law And Terror, Kenneth Anderson
Popular Media
This short policy article argues that both the Bush administration, in its final two years in office, and Congress have an obligation and interest in taking US counterterrorism policy beyond the current "war on terror" operated on the basis of executive power and discretion, to comprehensively institutionalize it for the long term through Congressional legislation. It argues that the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is mistakenly aimed merely at satisfying the narrow requirements of the Hamdan decision, and is far from the comprehensive legislation that institutionalizing counterterrorism policy requires in order both to have democratic legitimacy with the American people …
