    I didn't think it was his idea. American presidents have less power than many think.

    Differences between President Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa came to a head Wednesday afternoon in an Oval Office meeting, as they clashed over whether White genocide is taking place in South Africa. Mr. Trump and Rampahosa are meeting, with South African-born billionaire Elon Musk in the room, for a critical conversation amid tensions between the U.S. and South Africa, after the U.S. accepted 59 White Afrikaners last week and granted them status as refugees. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-musk-south-africa-president-meeting-tense-relations/

    The Trump administration said it will roll back Biden-era police reform efforts in cities where there has been controversy over high-profile police killings and brutality. The US justice department said on Wednesday it will be dismissing oversight agreements reached with the police departments in Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis, Minnesota. It will also be scrapping investigations into police constitutional violations in six other cities, including Phoenix and Memphis. The Biden-era justice department reached accountability agreements with both the Louisville and Minneapolis police departments, but they were not formally enacted. They included measures like enhanced training, accountability, and improved data collection of police activity. The Trump administration said those findings relied on "flawed methodologies and incomplete data". The move comes amid a large upheaval of the justice department's civil rights division since Trump's re-election. Around 70% of the department's lawyers have quit, according to current and former officials who spoke to NPR, over concerns of its changing priorities under the new Trump administration. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8e663n8glgo

    @Steve-Miller My guess is the worst thing it could do is give you an allergic reaction. I'm sending it back. I'm glad to know oxidized silver is real.

    @Big_Al It seems more than a little ironic to me that Marbury v. Madison "established" the court's right to determine the constitutionality of act of congress, considering that the actual opinion of the case was rubbish. All born out of a very nasty political fight. As Leonard Levy says in the book I'm reading*, "It is... one of the most flagrant specimens of judicial activism and, from the standpoint of judicial craftsmanship, resulted in one of the worst opinions ever delivered by the Supreme Court. . . . As a matter of judicial politics, however, it ranks among the craftiest in our constitutional history." (Emphasis mine) Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. The US has been a struggle from the get go. It is really wise to have a single branch of the government wield the power of judicial review? Current events make me question.
