Ce soir, nous serons avec l’avocate Elsa Marcel pour parler de la justice française comme garante de l’ordre bourgeois puisque nous la recevons pour son livre paru aux éditions La Fabrique État de droit, ordre bourgeois. Nous reviendrons notamment sur l’illusion de l’État de droit et de la séparation des pouvoirs et chercherons dans le passé des manières de penser une justice au service des opprimé.es et des classes populaires.
Reason enough to still start a civil war: ‘Speech that is purchased is not “free.” This fact exposes the error animating the Supreme Court decisions in First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti (1978) and Citizens United v.

Corporate persons cancel the people’s democratic rights to diverse interests. Their right is only the right to the criminal expropriation of capital without any legal consequences! The judiciary has been bought. Western democracy is paying the price for the rise of billionaires’ antitrust monopolies financing fascist cults.

A federal appeals court panel says the Trump administration can replace a slavery exhibit at George Washington’s home in Philadelphia. A three-judge panel of the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday struck down a lower court’s injunction that required the National Park Service to reinstall the interpretive panels. The unanimous ruling by the panel said a lower court judge wrongly interpreted Philadelphia’s contract claims involving Independence National Historical Park. The ruling comes a week after a Massachusetts federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore sites changed under an executive order. It's not clear how that ruling would affect the Philadelphia site.
'Astonishingly, the judge, Mr Justice Johnson, possibly for the first time in history, also sought to have legal proceedings taken against the barrister representing the Palestine Action protesters for contempt of court for his summing up of the defence case. Johnson claimed that Rajiv Menon KC had defied his instruction not to tell the jury it had the right to acquit the defendants regardless of his directions: an ancient and fundamental principle of English law.’
Labour’s war on decency (and for Israel)
‘In fact, the prosecutors decided not to pursue terrorism charges against them, presumably because they reckoned the jury wouldn’t convict. But never mind: the Sentencing Act 2020 allows judges to send people down for crimes for which they have not been tried, with far longer sentences and more onerous conditions.’
