and the people who have spoken out about sexual assault. Some of the Silence
Breakers led to national storylines chronicling the downfall of powerful men
who used their positions to commit sexual assaults and get away with it—until

sharing for the first time, with that simple hashtag, a hint at what they’d

before the US Supreme Court, <em>McCoy v.
Louisiana</em>, in which the Court will decide whether a criminal
defendant has a Sixth Amendment right to stop his attorney from announcing to a
jury that his client killed the victims for whose murder he is standing trial.
Colb considers the argument that the lawyer's behavior constituted deficient
performance counsel and argues that in that case, the defendant's conviction
should be reversed and remanded for a new trial.</span><sub><o:p></o:p></sub></span></div>

Dorf explains the symbolism of President Donald Trump's announcement during his
State of the Union address that he would be keeping the detention facility at

of keeping the facility open, Republicans support its continued operation
simply as repudiation of President Obama, who wanted to close it. Dorf points
out that Republicans' opposition to closing Gitmo during the Obama presidency
also jibed with the not-so-veiled racism of many Republicans who questioned
Obama's citizenship and commitment to the US (disregarding the fact that
President Bush actually released more Gitmo detainees than President Obama
did).</span></i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>

on the 2018 Golden Globes acceptance speech by Laura Dern calling for
restorative justice in the context of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements.
Wexler analyzes the possible meaning of this somewhat ambiguous call to action,
explaining that it could mean the restoration and reintegration of women who have
suffered employment setbacks at the hands of their harassers and assaulters,
and pointing out that it could also carry the more traditional notion of
restorative justice, which includes the wrongdoers and the community as a whole
to engage in "apologies, restitution, and acknowledgments of harm and
injury."<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></div>

that objections to the new policy on federalism grounds are largely misguided.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

juror's reference to Tharpe as a "n-----" and other racist
remarks. "I have wondered if black people even have souls,"
juror Barney Gattie said in a sworn affidavit. The high court's liberals were
joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy in the
unsigned opinion, which orders the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit
to take the remarks into consideration in deciding Tharpe's fate.
"Gattie's remarkable affidavit — which he never retracted
— presents a strong factual basis for the argument that Tharpe's race
affected Gattie's vote for a death verdict," the court ruled. </span></div>

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra has asked to meet with the four U.S.
Attorneys who prosecute federal law in the state to gauge weather or not they
plan on enforcing federal marijuana laws. "I've reached out to all four to
sit down with them... because we'd like to know how each of the four will intend

description of himself as a “very stable genius” sparked new debate this

play over concerns about Trump’s mental health, a half-dozen lawyers with
expertise on the measure said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

claim by some people that the increase in accusations and occurrences of rape
and other sexual misconduct is attributable to the sexual revolution of the
late 1960s and mid-1970s. Colb points out that both rape and sexual misconduct
existed well before the sexual revolution, and in fact the legal system until
very recently either condoned or made it very difficult to prove rape (and
categorically excluded the possibility of marital rape). In contrast, the sexual
revolution was about liberating consenting adults to have sex with one another
and giving women ownership over their own bodies.</span><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
