An article by VDH listing important tactical changes needed in Iraq if a troop surge is going to do any good. Included in the list are such suggestions as going on offense, like the Ethiopians, and closing down the borders with Syria and Iran as much as possible. I really like this guy.
And this from Walter Weber about potentially overturning the Flast decision which allows uninjured citizens to contest government expenditures that allegedly violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. "The normal rule in federal court is that a citizen can only file suit against the government if he’s been injured." This would be a huge victory for religious conservatives should the Roberts Court actually do this. It would also really fire up the left.
No test will be given, but good students will get their reading done :-)
Have a good weekend - Go Illini!
