Why no, Justice Scalia, race will just be one of the factors we consider, an organic, not mechanical factor. Race is not a automatic factor. It’s an holistic individualized consideration in a complex, subtle process…

Well done. Let Towson’s petty tyrants stew.

They should make posters parodying one of these, say, “Hispanics in History” things you see at school, celebrating their relatively modest achievements: “Europeans in History”; and just make the thing a hundred-foot foldout. Then hang it right next to theirs. So deliciously “racisss…”

You misunderstood me. You don’t have to buy into evolution to accept my point either: skin color is not the defining aspect of race, but this only illustrates the depth of racial differences, not, as the lady would assert, that race is insignificant.

Also you gotta love the “old…white” audience having their brains “re-wired”; does this journalist reflect on the sinister nonsense she writes?

“Skin pigmentation is not a unique attribute that can be used to define human races.”

This isn’t new–Darwin himself may have been the first to point it out. An Indian (subcontinent) can be as dark as an African but none of the supposedly discredited “racist” evolutionary scientists of the past mistook the two because of it.
 Part of the reason it’s become shorthand for race is because of its trivializing effect; if race were truly just skin color then it would truly be trivial. Alas.

How does a general decline in crime (attributable to longer sentencing and the attendant increase in young black men incarcerated) refute the documentation of disparate criminality and violence?

It’s sobering to consider that the current casual criminality of black Americans represents progress. I’m not sure it does (note incarceration statistics–more of the violent are behind bars).
What I suspect is what seems to many a worsening trend in black violence and racism is only an increase in its documentation (via YouTube, World Star Hip Hop, etc.).

A crypto white nationalist, he goes and marries a chinese and has mixed race children. Can you imagine a female writer of such an article eliciting sympathy from Amren regulars if she was married to a —-black man

Exhibit A as to why white nationalism is a dead-end. And yes, this regular can imagine sympathy for said woman. People can’t marry as they wish? Count me out, but have fun with your little club.
The man never described himself as a “white nationalist”, by the way. “Crypto” is appropriately radical language for such “with us or against us” sentiment–but applying it to someone who’s just sacrificed his career and public standing to be clear about race–well there’s just no pleasing the zealot, is there?

Using arrest and conviction records to deny employment can be illegal if it’s irrelevant for the job, according to the EEOC
Criminal history is always relevant–and to more than any given job. Has the system no shame left?

Diamond’s thesis has always made sense–but its proponents seem blissfully unaware of its implications. That is, if geography determines the extent of a given society’s advancement it must also, over tens of thousands of years, genetically mold its population, behaviorally as well as physically.

I suspect S.J. Gould’s “punctuated equilibrium” theory was motivated largely to perpetuate the article of faith at the center of his hogwash: that evolution “stopped” when we became civilized because we were no longer cowering beneath the elements and running from predators. For this to be true one has to presume a population uniform in personality and intelligence, or where everyone has the same amount of offspring, enduring for years without famine or genocide intruding.

But in recent years, the push for a Bill or Charter of Rights in Australia has been rebuffed—not least, thanks to a chorus of News Ltd columnists like Andrew Bolt. Here’s what he wrote in 2007: “a Bill of Rights is actually a bid for power by an unelected elite that has about exactly enough of it right now” (Herald Sun online, 5th September, 2007).

Mr. Bolt is probably right too. If anything the present law suggests this gang shouldn’t be allowed within 100 feet of a constitutional convention. And here the author suggests he’s partly to blame for his predicament!

Or for all those who have spent us into oblivion to get themselves re-elected and are now either still in office or very cushily retired?

Hasn’t he forfeited his right to privacy?

But certainly. Has DSK? The man not only hasn’t been convicted, the case against him hasn’t even been made. On what basis does he deserve this? Because he’s famous? No thanks.

All we’ve seen are a handful of news reports accompanied by silence from the hotel (why this curious custom? There’s no legal basis for denying the public this information; the media should challenge this practice, rather than encouraging the barbarism of the perp walk) and the anonymous accuser.

But if you want another way to look at it, DSK is now an underdog, just like one of us. You have to stand up for him.

also:
Punishing people exclusively in private may effectively satisfy the victim’s need for justice, but I don’t think it satisfies the public’s legitimate grievance.

There is nothing “private” about a criminal trial or conviction. The public has a right to justice, not spectacle.

“Does anyone think that the Chinese might be waving yen in front of Pakistani eyes to get their hands on such valuable equipment?”

Pakistan selling that tail-boom to China, after outing a CIA station chief, will be further evidence their anger is genuine–and they were in the dark regarding the raid.

“I cringe each time the ghosts of Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater are trotted out as champions of personal liberty and limited government”

That explains it; I thought it was a nervous tic. But yes, conservatives need to recognize the contradiction represented by these two–champions of individual liberty who nonetheless embraced the worst excesses of the Cold War–which continues under the guise of the GWOT–remains the single greatest source of constitutional degradation there is.

We need to storm the citadel and haul the “Victory in the Cold War” narrative out into the irreverent light of day.

Perhaps this explains the 25 minute gap in the video feed.
It’s a good point, I’ve noted it above–a roomful of eyewitnesses to–what, exactly?

You dark, nihilistic, glorious bastard! Pull up a chair.

It could change things if coupled with a policy shift announced in the sort of grand style Obama’s acolytes have always promised. It could change things if somebody wanted them changed. Change is hard, as the president is fond of saying (more fond I imagine when it translates as “get over it”); his actions echo the sentiment.

A proposito: The real-time feed–originally coupled with pre-fab “iconic” photo (even I was charmed by Hillary’s matronly concern/hayfever)–by which our political leaders heroically squirmed in their seats, was revised; no, they did not see the gruesome event but spent that part in Nixonian limbo–twenty to twenty-five minutes should do. Why the re-write? I would hope it’s because it’s true, and that our leaders aren’t ghouls after all; but I can’t help wondering if it’s because the administration realized the problems created by revealing that room full of people were eyewitness to the circumstances of bin Laden’s dispatch.

Note that first the administration said bin Laden was killed resisting, then, in the public relations unraveling, had to walk that one back down, as it became undeniable the raid was an assassination; why lie in the first place? Because–even with enormous popular support and no lack of defenders of the action–the administration was uncomfortable with the legality of it.

I fixed that Greenwald link, thanks.

So what am I missing here?

The Constitution. The president, acting as commander-in-chief, can’t order the summary execution of a combatant (or can he?–at any rate ours hasn’t and isn’t armed with a declaration of war)–and, acting as a mere mortal, he cannot order the execution of a criminal without trial.
Again, it’s not a choice between justice and illegality, but between trial and conviction and extrajudicial murder.

We chose expedience over rigor.

Our law was broken, and if we were so focused on justice and not merely it’s most appealing aspect here–retribution–why didn’t we formalize it with a trial? Why should the serviceman who risks his life to seize someone like bin Laden then be made complicit in the crime we, apparently, allow our president and the state (here under the ruse of an “exception”)?

I think OBL is still alive and posting, of all places, on TAC.

Well, you have just blown an investigation going back to the Clinton administration. Thanks a lot. But I’ll see you hang yet, “TomB”!

What would happen to the Pakistan Government if it sold him out? I don’t see how he is a trump card. He isn’t India’s problem. They aren’t going to get Kashmir out of it.

Who knows what you get out of him? But they don’t call them “High Value Targets” for nothing. They don’t particularly want to kill him, to say the least. Indeed–they likely fear more being found responsible for OBL’s demise by the Pakistani public than being found responsible for his sheltering by us–if you’re Kayani, who do you want to face down, mobs waving their shoes in the streets of Lahore or Dennis Kucinich ?*

We’ve seen how profitable OBL’s been out of circulation. Pakistan will find out how much risk he held in potential. I’m guessing not too much–they can be assured they won’t be put out of power, like they might have been had they killed bin Laden.

*I see Boehner’s already lobbying on behalf of Pakistan’s military allowance–grotesque.

Sounds like total BS to me. If he was in prison how was it that he had couriers visiting him to keep in touch with his network?

Good point; also, as Winston points out, reports of SUVs coming and going at odd hours.
Sounds like the man was, at the least, communicating at will (albeit through courier) and receiving visitors. But then if my worst suspicions about Pakistani involvement are correct, it’s unlikely the ISI would allow him freedom of movement anyway, and the distinction between prisoner and guest would be irrelevant.

Every thread needs a troll.

Absolutely. Feed them. Nourish them. Care for them. Just don’t take one home at the end of the night.

Probably being guilty of it myself every day I understand mis-speaking, but it’s no grounds to be calling me foolish and crazy to be pointing out what seems such a misdemeanor on your part initially.

I apologize for the inference. It was supposed to be a gentle ribbing but upon review I see you’re right–it’s unfair. And you’re not so off base if you see Coll and me lamenting the lack of a bludgeon–but all we’re really lamenting is the absence of the deterrent and Pakistan’s guile, if that’s not too fine a distinction, and I don’t think it is.

Pakistan’s double-dealing is an argument for withdrawing from our dysfunctional military alliance–as well as for removing the distorting effect billions of dollars in mostly military aid has on Pakistan’s already corrupt institutions.

But that’s not the point. The truth, especially here, is always worth knowing. I will not argue from consequences but facts. Let the foolish and crazy draw whatever conclusions they will (such as: “recognizing Pakistan’s treachery means declaring war on Pakistan”).

So in an ideal world Coll (and Dale?) just wish wish wish we were bombing Islamabad as we are bombing Libya?

Coll said nothing of bombing Pakistan and neither did I. There is room on the foreign policy continuum between prostrate humiliation and military action, particularly when you’re sending billions annually to the offending country.

“As someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action program when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not personally felt stigmatized.”

Thanks Ken, but the week’s blogging was given me by a family member who won it at their annual “Strangercrombie” auction to benefit charity.

Again, right but redundant. The only fair comparison would account for the respective serviced populations’ size and SES, and the respective agencies’ size and resources.

Thanks Kirt. There is a lively debate going on over at SDA (horrid name) on the value of this chart. As I said: To be fair we would have to compare the counties’ populations and any differences in the sheriff’s respective areas of responsibility.

Correlation isn’t causation – not enough data here.

Already said. One more obvious non-comment like this and I shall re-name you Bland Doc McRae. You have been warned.

You too, Colin; you are right but redundant–the biggest omission here is the socio-economic makeup of the two populations, as I said. Obijuan’s skepticism, however, is downright nihilistic.

We would have to compare the relative sizes of the two sheriff’s departments also–Dupnik has 500 deputies, but I couldn’t find numbers on Arpaio’s. His deparment’s website boasts of a “posse program” open to volunteers. I’m not sure I’d want to live in either place.

The real question is whether Arpaio is turning his county into a police state to get these numbers. Low crime isn’t everything, after all.

Maricopa (Arpaio) abuts Pima to the north; Pima abuts the border with Mexico. Arpaio is notorious south of the border for enforcing immigration law; after passage of SB1070, Dupnik refused to.

One therefore welcomes illegal immigration while next door the other discourages it, to say the least. Dupnik complained he would fill his jail in a day if he enforced this law. Dupnik probably has a larger proportion of illegals in his co., where they no doubt feel a lot more comfortable than next door.
Does this say something about crime rates among the illegal alien population? I ask in earnest.

Running the jail seems to be a large part of Arpaio’s job, but that might just be the media focus (not unwarranted) on the severe conditions and gimmicks he imposes on his inmates–putting them in tents, issuing pink underwear, etc.

But no, the sheriffs are also tasked with enforcement in their jurisdiction, through their deputies, as in LA County.
To be fair we would have to compare the counties’ populations and any differences in the sheriff’s respective areas of responsibity. Still, I find it remarkable, and note that Arpaio has far better per capita numbers with a far larger population.

The choice of Palin for the face of this, on the thin substance of her target-map, reveals this organized hysteria for what it is–the start of the next presidential campaign. It is obscene.
