Lewis/Terrell, the court once again refuses qualified immunity to an officer who was wildly out of line.

Politicizing the U.S. Postal Service
The American electoral system divides authority between the states and Congress. The President, by contrast, has no formal role in election administration. The rule of law, though, has never deterred President Trump from plowing ahead in pursuit of his policy desires. One such yearning is to substantially reduce mail voting, which, against all evidence, Trump believes favors Democrats and is susceptible to widespread illegal voting by noncitizens.

Fusionism in the Twenty-First Century
Stephanie Slade's new book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, makes the case that the political philosophy that defined much of the post-War American Right should continue to guide the American conservative movement in the twenty-first century. As my recent essay on postliberalism suggests, I largely agree with Slade. Fusionism is a better path for American conservatism than postliberalism or populist nationalism.
