Before Joe Biden and the Democrats made it unavoidable, the critique of gerontocracy was coopted by neoliberals out to end the "entitlements" state. But what if only expanding the promise of care can allow for transferring of power and wealth away from those who retain them too long?

Opinion | Resistance to Trump Isn’t Enough
Why liberals need a plan and promise to make Congress great again.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“Seizing the opportunity to reimagine the presidency, after Americans of all stripes built its authority over a century, is critical — which means a plan and promise to make Congress great again,” Samuel Moyn writes.

Falling Off the Map | Linda Kinstler
World War I set the stage a century ago for new ways of thinking about where states come from and what happens when they disappear.
“Wheatley, an Australian-born professor at Princeton University, has a penchant for metaphor and an inventive flair that make her legal histories come alive.” Fantastic kudos from the great Linda Kinstler. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

The Peril of a White House That Flaunts Its Indifference to the Law
Apparently there is “a structural weakness of law as a check on the American presidency.” And it took Donald Trump to reveal it.

Balkinization: The Power to Decide
