Thank You to Mary Ellen O’Connell

by Chris Borgen

On behalf of all of us at Opinio Juris I would like to thank Mary Ellen O’Connell having joined us this week in our second Oxford University Press/ Opinio Juris book symposium for a discussion of her new book, The Power and Purpose of International Law.

We would also like to thank Beth Simmons for joining us as a guest commentor.

Thanks also to everyone who posted comments and contributed to the dialogue. We’ll post the details of our next book discussion soon.

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).
