Trump's Nixonian Moment has Arrived Basic principles of law such as checks and balances and separation of powers stand for the proposition that presidents are not above the law and that no person, not even the president, has unlimited authority to pardon himself from being accountable to the law. Presidents are not kings, they cannot be prosecutors, judges, juries, and executioners all at the same time.

Obama's Presidential Legacy: A Weakened Democratic Party and Timidity of Reform Obama's final State of the Union speech was about his legacy. While Obama has accomplished a lot--far more than often given credit and his speech detailed what he did--one of his great failings is his inability to restructure the Democratic party and build a new majority coalition to support his policies. He leaves the Democratic Party far weaker now than when elected, and his legacy more fragile and timid than it should be.

What is Orthodox Republicanism? What does the Republican Party represent in the era of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann? The new orthodoxy of Republicanism draws upon fear, a paranoid style of politics, and a marketplace rebranding driven by a cult of personality and mainstream conservative media.

Stupid Public Policies and Other Political Myths: Ideas that President Obama should Avoid In light of the Obama administration's plans to develop an economic stimulus package for states to implement, this paper looks four policy myths and bad ideas that should be avoided. The argument is that before states spend money they need to be more attentive to what social science research says regarding what types of programs are effective.

Marx, Globalization, and the Death of Neo-Liberalism The western banking crisis is an historic event on two counts. First it demonstrates that Karl Marx is again relevant and that his analysis of capitalist society is not quite ready for the dustbin of history. Second, state intervention to save the banks and the free market from itself undermine whatever remaining legitimacy there is in the intellectual foundations of neo-liberalism.

Evidence? We don't need no stinkin' evidence! President Bush's policy on Iran is not the only example of how public officials often make decisions devoid of evidence.
