The class war is on. It's the 99 percent of "us" versus the 1 percent of "them. In the rhetoric of this war, we are fighting the 1 percent because they possess most of the nation's wealth, bankroll their handpicked political candidates, control the banks and get million- dollar paychecks and billion-dollar bailouts; yet they don't pay enough taxes or invest their wealth in creating American jobs.

This Article presents the first comprehensive empirical study of the post-clerkship employment of law clerks at the Supreme Court from 1882 to the present, and it uses that data to flesh out a historical and institutional interpretation of the clerkship and the recent political polarization of the Court more generally. The liberal tradition of the clerkship arose out of Louis Brandeis's vision of former law clerks serving a progressive legal agenda, a tradition that Felix Frankfurter helped institutionalize while striving to remove ideological bias. With the advent of a conservative bloc on the Court, this tradition has waned, due to the emergence of markedly partisan patterns in the Justices' hiring of clerks and post-clerkship careers in academia, private practice, and government. Aft...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Foreign policy experts at Brookings and the Atlantic Council noted encouraging signs in changes sweeping North Africa and the Middle East, most notably reforms and elections in Morocco and Tunisia. But they also warned of looming threats from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), now strengthened by a flood of Libyan weapons and ties with other militant groups in the region, including the Polisario Front, whose members last month reportedly helped AQIM kidnap Western aid workers from a Polisario refugee camp in Algeria. Much of the news from the region is bad, but there are some glimmers of hope," said Daniel Byman, Director of Research, Saban Center for Middle East Policy, Brookings Institution. At Brookings' forum, "Elections and...

Turkey has been undergoing major democratic transformations in recent years, but one issue remains in question: the role of the military. Have these democratic changes also included an irreversible, structural change for the Turkish military's political role? Are the Turks reconceptualizing their special bond with the armed forces and most importantly, is the military leadership ready to go along with this paradigm shift? This article first provides a typology of civil-military relations worldwide and identifies the main parameters of traditional Turkish civil-military relations as a system in which society maintains a direct, special bond with its military, keeping politics and politicians in a secondary position. It then suggests that this pattern is shifting into a more democratic on...

DSA will speak publicly about socialism. Simplistic and misleading "anti-socialist" rhetoric is being used by the right to mobilize populist anger against any reforms that would modestly redistribute wealth, income, and opportunity in the United States. Through holding well-publicized forums, producing timely literature, organizing a visible presence at the 2010 U.S. Social Forum, representing DSA positions to the Socialist International, and using newspapers, the Web, radio, video and public access TV, DSA will educate the public as to why Obama's health-care and fiscal-stimulus plans are not socialist. For better or worse, these reforms are similar to - if not weaker than - the policies of most other advanced capitalist democracies. Furthermore, DSA will articulate why only forthri...

A panel on "What is to be Done?" by National Political Committee members Theresa Alt (Ithaca), Michael Hirsch (NYC), and Joe Schwartz (Philadelphia) highlighted some issues and tactics not mentioned by the priorities resolution (such as the environment and solidarity economics), as well as the necessity for a global socialist movement to bring about and defend any truly progressive reforms. Hirsch reminded us that even the best reforms won't hold in this "rigged system" if the current disparities of power and wealth continue. Schwartz stressed that this means action, not just talk, for example around the imminent retirement crisis and the emerging social movement to resist foreclosures and to fight state budget cutbacks. Schwartz also emphasized the need to make taxes in this country tr...
