The undersigned organizations urge the Biden Administration to engage constructively with the International Criminal Court (ICC). The U.S. government’s support for the ICC could help secure justice for victims in situations from Myanmar to Darfur, just as it helped facilitate the February 4 historic conviction of a former leader of an armed rebel group for war crimes and crimes against humanity in northern Uganda.
RICHMOND â The day Virginia legislators interview candidates for judgeships is usually boring.
The candidates come before a panel of lawmakers, talk for a few minutes about why they want to be a judge, answer a few questions, answers to which could be found on their resume, and leave.
Tuesday was different.
Sen. Joe Morrissey, D-Richmond, was grilling Kathleen Uston, who was interviewing for a circuit court judgeship in Alexandria, about her qualifications. Uston is a adjunct professor at American University Washington College of Law and former assistant counsel for the Virginia State Bar. He rattled off questions to show how she hadnât tried a criminal jury trial in the last decade, hadnât served as a public defender, hadnât argued before the Virginia Court of Appeals and more.
A new report entitled “Chinese Technology Platforms Operating in the United States” sets forth a framework for understanding the various threats posed by Chinese-owned technology platforms operating in the United States and for assessing the various costs and benefits of proposed responses to these threats.
“This is such a constitutional moment, and our impeachment case describes this as the worst constitutional failure of any president in American history, and there is just no one better to make that case than our leading constitutional scholar, Jamie Raskin,” said Rep. Jared Huffman, California Democrat.
Allies of the former president and his legal team feel much differently about Mr. Raskin and the entire impeachment process.
From their viewpoint, House Democrats have drafted nine resolutions to impeach Mr. Trump and the latest one was rushed and passed without congressional hearings in violation of due process.
Mr. Raskin will open the impeachment trial Tuesday by arguing that Mr. Trump incited a deadly insurrection in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by claiming for months that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election.
