The White House on Tuesday threatened to veto the Violence Against Women Act
(VAWA) should protections for LGBT victims remain absent from the bill's
language.
The House version of the bill’s reauthorization “fails to include language
that would prohibit discrimination against LGBT victims in VAWA grant
programs,” according to a White House Statement of Administration Policy (
SAP) that lists other perceived major flaws, including t... 阅读全帖 |

至关重要的这一概念的关键或核心一般被认为是统治者/掌权者的权力要受限制。
法治究竟是怎样运行？刚刚过去的这个周末（2017年2月3日至5日），美国以一种非常
戏剧性的方式向全世界做出了展示。
好戏剧之所以能吸引观众并令观众感觉值得回味再三，往往是因为它充满变数，一波三
折，可以有多种解释，而多种解释相互矛盾但又都合情合理。从这个意义式样说，过去
这个周末美国对全世界演示的法治戏剧可谓好戏剧。
川普总统认为美国的司法系统阻碍他的行政令的实施糟极了；另外有许多人（其中包括
中国的一些官方媒体或媒体人）则认为，美国司法系统对川普行政当局的权力实行制衡
，从而向全世界展示了美国是一个货真价实的法治国家，这是好事。

“...tarring Chinese foreign national students en masse as being more
suspicious is overbroad and will also feed into the false and harmful
narrative that somehow Chinese-Americans are more suspicious.
It is this false narrative that contributed to the wrongful indictments of
Chinese-Americans like Sherry Chen and Professor Xiaoxing Xi. I worked on
those cases last year and helped cause the Department of Justice to change
its policies to help make sure Chinese-Americans are... 阅读全帖 |

Twitter has been complaining to the government for months about restrictions
on the way the microblog can report national security-related data requests

progressing to Twitter’s liking. Now the San Francisco-based company has
filed suit.
Twitter says the government is violating its First Amendment right to free
