More common law than Marxism, and that’s a good thing. I am cited.
Presidential Power
Yes, a president can be indicted. And he can pardon himself.
The only ultimate Constitutional check on a president’s power is impeachment. Something that has been done far too rarely, largely because Congress’s sense of its own prerogatives has become overwhelmed by partisanship.
Aging
How close are we to defeating it?
There are no laws of physics that require it. I’ve been taking NAD+.
[Update early afternoon]
This is interesting. Patients on an anti-cancer drug with gray hair see it turn dark again.
A Liberal Party
Bob Zubrin thinks we need one. I haven’t read the whole thing, but I generally agree. (Yes, I know it’s a few months old, but I just ran across it, and not much has changed.)
Jordin Kare
We’re losing a lot of our generation of space people.
I would note that one who will be missed less than others, who died last month, was Thomas Lee Elifritz.
[July 24th update]
Paul Gilster remembers Jordin.

The Bulk Interior Of The Moon
Water on the moon seems to be like gas and oil on earth. The more we look, the more we find.
Elon’s Mars Plans
Eric Berger reports that he’s probably getting more realistic.
Regular Order
Angelo Codevilla says we need to return to it to restore the Republic.
I agree, but the problem is, he doesn’t say how. Op-eds clearly aren’t going to do the job, in and of themselves. It may require an amendment.
Civil Forfeiture
Forget Russia, Glenn Reynolds would fire Sessions for this.
Me too. It’s almost medieval. That, plus amping up the War on (Some) Drugs.
The Cold Civil War
Who’s going to win it?
If it turns hot, one side has most of the guns, and if the military intervenes, it’s unlikely to be on the side of the Left.
