[ad_1] NCC Yesterday, the National Constitution Center held a conference on the 2025-26 Supreme Court term and the many important cases decided therein. The video of the event is now available and I embed it below. Each of the three panelists featured a VC blogger: Keith Whittington on the first panel about key cases, myself on the second one about executive power, and Jonathan Adler on the third, focused on civil discourse. Thus, this is a must-watch event for all loyal VC readers! My panel runs from about 48:00 to 1:35:00. I spoke about the tariff case (which I helped…

[ad_1] During the independence movement, communists had an uneasy relationship with the Indian National Congress (INC), seeing Congress as too moderate and too compromising with the British, while they supported a more radical, class-based struggle rather than constitutional methods like laws, elections and negotiations.

[ad_1] Nearly half a decade ago, I wrote an overview1 for this magazine of the debates—and, let’s face it, vicious culture wars—around what’s become known as “gender-affirming care” for youth—psychological and medical interventions based on an internal “gender identity.” Since then, many revelations about both the research and history of youth gender medicine, and a series of shocking scandals, have emerged.
