Liberty? What liberty? 04/16/2005 09:57 AM

Will Liberty Live?


Will Liberty Live? 04/29/2004 09:19 AM

  • NY Times: Court Hears Case on U.S. Detainees. The Bush administration yielded no ground before the Supreme Court on Wednesday in arguing that the open-ended military detention of United States citizens as enemy combatants, without criminal charges or access to lawyers, was justified both in law and as policy.
  • The administration's claim here -- that the president and his aides alone can decide to lock an American citizen away forever is a claim to their right, and that of future presidents', to be tyrants. It's incredible that this is even thinkable. But our collective fear from the Sept. 11 attacks, and Congress' absolute spinelessness in defending the Constitution it swore to uphold, has given Bush what he so plainly wants: the opportunity to be the president who asserts, and gets, absolute power. Absolute power is always abused. Always. This kind of absolute power -- making leaders the prosecutor, judge and jury -- is the lynchpin of tyranny. If the court upholds this abuse of liberty, it will be assisting in a crime: If this assault on the Constitution succeeds -- if the Constitution has truly become meaningless on something so fundamental -- then we will have destroyed America to save it. The stakes are that high. NOTE: Slate's coverage of the court arguments yesterday has a smart additional feature. There are inserts linking to the audio of specific exchanges.

    Liberty Still Alive


    Liberty Still Alive 06/28/2004 09:35 PM

  • NY Times: Supreme Court Affirms Detainees' Right to Use Courts. The Supreme Court ruled today that people being held by the United States as enemy combatants can challenge their detention in American courts — the court's most important statement in decades on the balance between personal liberties and national security.
  • There's still a scary deference to the executive branch in some of the language in these rulings. But there's also something to cheer: the president can't decide what the law is. The court punted on the Padilla case. He's an American citizen who was grabbed on U.S. soil and slammed indefinitely into a military brig. The court said his lawyer raised the case in the wrong court. Sheesh. But there's overall good news. As one justice wrote, the "War on Terror" does not give the president "a blank check" in defining the rights -- or lack of rights -- the Constitution grants.

    Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
    patriotism


    Two essays on liberty, freedom, and
    patriotism
    07/05/2004 04:17 PM
    On this American holiday, two pieces that merit considered reading -- both via Dan Gillmor's blog. The first from Pete McCloskey in the SFChron: Patriotism (and shame) on the Fourth of July. "The word patriot is too precious to allow it to be used by the thundering rhetoric of politicians that patriotism requires not only supporting the troops but also supporting the foreign policy that puts them at risk."

    The second, a Sunday column from Dan Gillmor in the SJMerc: "On Independence Day, 2004, how fares American liberty? Brilliantly, if you compare the United States with the tyrannies that still control the lives of countless people. Not badly, if liberty means the right to seek economic gain in a capitalist system -- especially if you're starting with the right connections and a privileged background. Not as well, when you look at growing pressures on longstanding freedoms."

    And when you're done with those, may I suggest down loading the United States Constitution for your iPod, inserting earplugs, cranking up the volume, and taking a walk out there in the fresh summer air.

    Lady and the Tramp


    Lady and the Tramp 02/17/2004 12:04 AM
    Disneyland was quite a spot for Valentine's Day lovers on Saturday. I must say, however, that California Adventure was... about as exciting as Nebraska. We didn't get to ride the only ride worth riding because the line was too long - and the line for "gourmet" coffee was even longer. Still, I had a great time with my sweetheart. Jack Skellington memorabilia was all around (thanks to the Haunted Mansion redux), so I had to empty my wallet before leaving. $80 of it went to two jackets that would help keep our underdressed bodies warm in the evening hours. And since LEGO had an Imagination Center in Downtown Disney, I was also able to get a Darth Vader figurine to aid in the completion of my freshly-formed (out of the package) collection. Next year, perhaps I'll pick a slightly more secluded place to share time with that certain someone?...

    Naked lady sushi 11/11/2003 08:04 PM
    The hottest Japorn export since bukkake? Or a dehumanizing, exploitative stunt? The provocative trend of presenting sushi on the body of an au naturel female model migrates to the US. Chaos ensues. Please, please, be careful with the wasabi.
    Chopsticks at the ready, patrons line up. Hours earlier, across town on the campus of the University of Washington, eight activists, mostly Asian-American women, express outrage at what they call the prostitution of sushi and the exploitation of women. They plot their strategy. (...)While the promoter and the sushi model say this melding of prandial and sexual is performance art, Bonzai's patrons --men and women of various ethnicities --say it merely adds to the restaurant's sensual vibe. Opponents say treating women like a serving platter reinforces attitudes that make domestic and sexual violence so prevalent.
