Hamdan’s Oral Argument - Conspiracy and the Law of War (Updated)

by Julian Ku

CSpan has the Hamdan oral argument going. [Actually, the oral argument is best found here at the Georgetown Law School website]. I’ve been listening to parts of the Katyal argument and he actually invested a substantial amount of time in the argument Ariel Lavinbuk* has been making and we’ve been discussing here: whether conspiracy is a permissible violation of the law of war.

I just want to note how grateful I am to C-SPAN for covering the oral arguments, which I’m listening to in lieu of ‘bedtime reading.’ It truly is a public service in the best sense: an exemplary instance of furthering the goals of civic education so vital to would-be democratic polities…. In this case, especially for those such as myself who lack formal training in constitutional and international law, it is quite informative. In addition, it’s a nice illustration of a particular form of argumentative dialogue…. In short: utterly enjoyable and intrinsically fascinating!

Dershowitz on Israel and Proportionality
Alan Dershowitz published an editorial yesterday in the Wall Street Journal that argues Israel's attacks on Hamas in Gaza are "perfectly proportionate. " I have no desire to argue the substance of that point, in part because views on Israel and Palestine are largely impervious to facts or argument (on both sides), but largely because the concept of proportionality is so amorphous and ill-defined as to be essentially useless.

The End of the United States - Coming in 2010
OK, I know the blogosphere has chewed over this article from the Wall Street Journal, and spit it out already, but I still can't resist posting this WSJ graphic describing a Russian professor's prediction about the end of the Union sometime in the middle of Obama's first term (in which case he would be the reverse-Lincoln). I can see disunion in the future, but not quite along the lines here.
