I wouldn’t want to tussle with an angry, fired-up Dershowitz. The MSNBC guys in this video (don’t know their names) try to counter with their talking points, but to no avail. Of course, this interview occurred before NBC had to … Continue reading →
Alfie Evans died last night. RIP, and condolences to his mourning and suffering family. Evans’ death has spotlighted some legal and philosophical issues about the Brits that I first noticed years ago when I was researching the laws of defamation … Continue reading →
