The Broad Reach of Carpenter v. United States
Carpenter v. United States is an inflection point in the history of the Fourth Amendment. From now on, we’ll be talking about what the Fourth Amendment means in pre-Carpenter and post-Carpenter terms. It will be seen as being as important as Olmstead and Katz in the overall arc of technological privacy.
Trump v Hawaii: Giving Pretext a Pass
There are plenty of reasons to be concerned about the Supreme Court’s majority opinion in Trump v. Hawaii, which upheld the president’s proclamation banning travel to the U.S. by people from several majority-Muslim countries.

The Trump Administration Must Extend Temporary Protected Status for Yemenis
This week, 33 national security experts — including 31 former federal government officials — are sending a letter to the secretaries of State and Homeland Security, urging them to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Yemenis living in the United States, and to redesignate Yemen for TPS, making it possible for Yemenis not currently holding this status to apply.
Turning your back on the peacemakers
Turning your back on the peacemakers For as long as humans have been contentious, we have needed diplomats to make and keep the peace. And, for as long as we have sought security, prosperity and the ability to shape our destinies in the wider world, we have needed diplomats to secure alliances, foster trade, make friends and confront adversaries. In his new book “War on Peace,” Ronan Farrow argues that the United States has turned its back on diplomacy, and on its diplomats. If so, at what cost?

The Futility of Force in Yemen
U.S. President Donald J. Trump has escalated counterterrorism strikes in eastern Yemen against the al-Qaeda affiliate there. But his administration is no more likely than President Barack Obama’s to be successful in degrading the group, says Barbara K. Bodine, a former U.S. ambassador to Yemen. “Even when a drone takes out al-Qaeda leaders, it doesn’t dislodge the organization or affect why people support it,” Bodine says, noting al-Qaeda’s steady territorial gains.
Dutch Elections and the Future of the EU
The Netherlands’ March 15 national elections have drawn international attention due to Geert Wilders’s populist, anti-establishment bid. His Party for Freedom (PVV) has risen to become one of the country’s most popular by pushing a strongly anti-immigration and anti-Islam platform, while also criticizing the Netherlands’ membership in the European Union.
Ansar al-Sharia and Governance in Southern Yemen - by Robin Simcox
Yemen is one of the most impoverished nations in the Middle East. It has also emerged as the most important front of the U.S.-led war against al-Qaeda (AQ) and its affiliates. Given that the Yemeni state’s inability to provide basic provisions and services is a key driver behind AQ’s growth, these two issues have become inextricably linked.

A battleground marked by regional intervention and a growing al-Qaeda presence, Yemen's civil war continues unabated. The fighting has exacted a horrific toll on civilians, whether from bombing by the Saudi-led coalition, indiscriminate shelling by Houthi insurgents, food and medical shortages, or the kidnappings of journalists and human rights activists.
Kach, Kahane Chai (Israel, extremists)
Kach is a hard-line Israeli militant group that advocates for the expulsion of Arabs from the biblical lands of Israel. The U.S. State Department listed it as a terrorist organization in 1994.
