"Corremos a los K por izquierda y peleamos en la micropolítica del día a día. Salimos de la paranoia persecutoria y vamos a dar la discusión con los amigos y enemigos. Deconstruimos el kirchnerismo pero no para un placer masturbatorio e intelectual, sino para diferenciar los actos de gobierno —que pueden ser buenos o malos y que nos interpelan— de la retórica instalada en la famosa guerra de medios que siempre ganan otros."

La decana de bioquímica de la Universidad de Tucumán prohíbe pasar documental de Pino Solanas, porque se critica a La Alumbrera. "Es que ustedes pasan cosas que están en contra de todo, de cosas que acá los estudiantes no están en contra" -dice la decana, elocuente. "Ustedes se oponen a todo" -argumenta. "Pero por qué, dónde están los fundamentos, dónde está la resolución?" -le responden. "No tengo por qué darte ninguna resolución." Extraordinario acá".
Eye witnesses say that 500 riot police dismantled Occupy Oakland early this morning using tear gas, rubber bullets, a helicopter, a military device called an LRAD sonic canon, and flash grenades. There have been several reports of injuries to protestors.

No doubt legal doctrine can be an intriguing research field, but my research interests turned early to philosophy. It seemed - somehow - to be more open to Marx and socialist politics than law. Then, after Vietnam and from the USA and the UK came Critical Legal Theory. Marxism, sociology, feminism, critical race theory, and then a second wave Foucault, discourse theory, deconstruction: the critique of jurisprudence arrived as a wide and open research agenda with a `left' politics. Jurisprudence as Ideology aimed at a theory of the fetish character attaching to rights. It took three schools of Anglophone jurisprudence as its research object and argued, by analogy with Marx's idea of commodity fetishism, that each school dissembled the value of law. It stands up, I still think, in many ways, but I quickly realised that I had not conceptualised rights fetishism and turned to Hegel in an intended short foray into Marx's philosophical background. Hegel, however, turned my philosophical ideas on their head and lead me to think that also Marx lacked a concept of fetish phenomena: that indeed, so cunning is reason as to present in this guise its own being at odds with itself. That then poses the question of the realm and the method for researching this antinomical dimension of `pure reason'. One road leads back to Kant and further into philosophy. The other to logic in its modern mathematical form. The privilege of freedom from teaching and administration has given me the time to venture down both roads as well as to continue researching the common law's response to the claims put to it by aboriginal peoples.

¡Sexy! Seguramente se re-respeto el debido proceso.We may be, now, in the world that Cass Sunstein worried about, a world where people select themselves into groups which ramp up their more-or-less internally coherent belief systems into increasingly extreme forms by confirming to one another their perceived “truths” (about Islam, or Obama’s birth certificate, or whatever) and shutting out falsifying information.
The Mutant Registration Act is regrettable but clearly necessary, for public safety, and the loathsome Senator Kelly makes much more cogent arguments than earnest Jean Grey, in that scene from the first film. After all, if you have a critical mass of people shooting lasers out of their eyes – to say nothing of exhibitions of powerful mind-control, shape-shifting, teleporting – most of what we think we think we know about the optimality, even viability, of liberal/republican forms of government falls by the wayside, or needs to be re-thought from the ground up in pretty fundamental ways

"Es una lástima que la generación de nuestros mayores llame politización de la Justicia a lo que no es otra cosa que corrupción. Esa decisión semántica acepta la trágica herencia del intento de separar el derecho de la democracia, decisión que permitió los desafueros de la política del siglo pasado. Además insulta a la política –porque no la cree suficientemente digna de ser parte de la deliberación judicial en defensa de los fueros de las decisiones mayoritarias– y a la Justicia, porque no la cree suficientemente fuerte como para ser parte en igualdad de condiciones de la discusión pública en defensa de la Constitución. Si las apartamos, permitimos que la política no sea justa y que la Justicia no sea relevante.
