¿SE PUEDE PEDIR LA VACANCIA PRESIDENCIAL?
El artículo 113º de la Constitución del Estado norma: Artículo 113.- Vacancia de la Presidencia de la República La Presidencia de la República vaca por: 1. Muerte del Presidente de la República. 2. Su permanente incapacidad moral o física, declarada por el Congreso. 3. Aceptación de su renuncia por el Congreso. El abogado Enrique Bernales graduado en la Universidad de Grenoble y profesor de universidades peruanas y europeas sostiene que sólo es un "mal deseo", en otras palabras, sería una insensatez promoverla por las múltiples consecuencias que ello provocaría tanto en lo político como en la económía. Nuestro País no puede ser más desigual e informal se ha llegado al límite que entre los pobres nos robemos mientras que los ricos le roban al Estado y a los pobres le castran todas sus esperanzas, ningún humano de…

Short Take: A Groovy Kind of Suburbia
I remember the 1964 Worlds Fair in Queens, mostly because of the black felt hat with a huge bright purple feather coming out of it. The theme was “Peace Through Understanding”, dedicated to “Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe,” but to a kid, it was a vision of the future, all the cool things that would be our world. A few years later, there was sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll, but no flying cars. The word “groovy” found its way into our lexicon. It’s not used much anymore. Efforts to predict the future, and to promote the notion that we should dedicate our efforts to creating the infrastructure, both physical and intellectual, to support it, have not panned out well. The problem seems to be that people are remarkably opposed to having change rammed down their throats, and change happens, but in its own way and at its own pace. Change happens, whether we like it or not. MIT urban design prof…

The Last Constitution Day
It’s been a good run, Constitution, but today, Constitution Day, the New York Times says it’s over. Exactly 230 years ago, on Sept. 17, 1787, a group of men in Philadelphia concluded a summer of sophisticated, impassioned debates about the fate of their fledgling nation. The document that emerged, our Constitution, is often thought of as part of an aristocratic counterrevolution that stands in contrast to the democratic revolution of 1776. But our Constitution has at least one radical feature: It isn’t designed for a society with economic inequality. Someone thinks of the Constitution as an aristocratic counterrevolution? Often? Who knew, besides Vanderbilt lawprof Ganesh Sitaraman. I thought it was just a bunch of New England dry-goods merchants who hated watching their profits taxed to pay for the cost of their protection. But then, I’m no scholar. But Sitaraman’s “radical feature” is kinda ass-backwards. The colonies were…

First track: Byrne, Donald - Fischer, Robert James (1957)("I consider this to be my cover version of the greatest poem ever written, with some especially high notes. (If you don't believe me, check out stanza 17.) As always, a cover version can't be as great as the original, but I gave it my all. Dylan always said to only cover the classics.

Miguel Ángel Torres - Cuestión de Confianza
http://elcomercio.pe/opinion/colaboradores/cuestion-confianza-miguel-angel-torres-noticia-458674 "No cabe duda de que el Ejecutivo ha aprovechado un vacío normativo; sin embargo, ello debe invitarnos a la reflexión pues resulta poco sensato que permitamos que un mecanismo previsto en la Constitución pueda ser utilizado de manera tan poco seria, en vez de hacerlo para temas de gran trascendencia, como la defensa de las políticas generales o sectoriales de un gobierno. Una interpretación aislada de un artículo constitucional y un exiguo desarrollo legislativo han permitido plantear una cuestión de confianza en respaldo a una ministra altamente cuestionada, soslayando deliberadamente que la responsabilidad de cada miembro de un Gabinete es individual, según otra disposición de la misma Carta Política. " "Esa errónea interpretación es posible porque hay un…

Muslims Wrongfully Placed on Terrorist Selectee List Can’t Sue
The Terrorism Screening Center (TSC) is a multi-agency center created in 2003 in the wake of 9/11 terror attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City. The TSC is administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation which is part of the U.S. Department of Justice. The TSC, however, is operated by staff from multiple agencies beyond the FBI, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of State, Customs and Border Protection, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). All these agencies have various watch lists that identify either suspected or known terrorists who are in this country or who may be trying to enter the country. The FBI’s Terrorist Screening Database (TSBD) is the government’s primary terror watch list. The TSBD contains about one million records, of which only about 5,000 are Americans. No Fly List and Selectee List The TSBD maintains two primary lists to monitor air travel in, out, and…

More Proof That Mental Health Courts Work
The first mental health court was established about 20 years ago in Broward County, Florida, in 1997. Since that time, a relatively small number of counties across the country have established these innovative and forward-thinking programs, with the result that there were approximately 300 mental health courts nationwide as of 2016. Many of these courts are funded under a 2002 federal program known as the “Law Enforcement and Mental Health Project”. It sounds like a lot, but the real need is still not being met. Relatively recent data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show that 55% of male inmates and 73% of female inmates in the United States are mentally ill. Further, 23% of these individuals were incarcerated three or more times, thereby demonstrating an unacceptably high recidivism rate among this segment of the overall inmate population. Additionally, over the last several decades, a considerable number of mental health…

Local Police Charge Man with Crime of Felony Possession with Intent to Sell for mere Possession of Non Criminal Quantity of Marijuana
I have been writing in my blogs and on my web page recently about the Local Police departments apparent resistance or push back against the Legislature’s efforts to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of Marijuana in 2011 and the lowering of the penalty of the possession of small quantities of cocaine and heroine from a felony to a misdemeanor in 2015. As I have explained the Police has seemingly pushed back against these legislative initiatives by up-charging or adding charges under questionable circumstances such as the crime of operation of a drug factory or possession with intent to sell. In these cases the Police really tie your hands because they take what would have been a mere non criminal violation punishable by only a fine or a misdemeanor level possession offense and they turn it into a serious felony charge for which you can be facing up to 7 years in jail for marijuana and 15 years in jail for narcotics. In many of these…
