Thanks for posting this

Important reminder that history is not deterministic. There is no one-way road to fascism, but neither one out of it. There is hope in the plurality of (well-funded) resistance. What gave me pause, however, was the role of media then and now.

At Balkinization, @katharinapistor.bsky.social and David Pozen argue that if Columbia is going to review its University Senate, the same scrutiny should be applied to the more powerful, less democratic components of Columbia’s governance regime.

Es ist im Grunde schon eine Festlegung in der Sache. Nach dem Grundgesetz sind verfassungswidrige Parteien keine Konkurrenten. Wer sie Konkurrenten nennt, beantwortet damit für sich die Frage der Verfassungsfeindlichkeit
