...nuclear reactor in Yongbyon appeared to be another page from Kim's script. The facility was shut down under a 1994 agreement because it was capable of producing weapons-grade plutonium. But with the American government suspending oil shipments, the North claims its obligations to the U.S. are now null and void...
...Hebrew Bible deemed Abraham to be "righteous" years before his circumcision, he wrote, which meant that his listeners didn't need to become circumcised Jews to be Abraham's inheritors. Baptism in faith would more than suffice. Paul waffled as to whether Christianity rendered Judaism's Abrahamic Covenant null and void. But his successors assumed so.

Even passengers' purses can be searched without a warrant (although it's less clear whether a passenger's person can be, showing how tricky it is to thread this needle). And Kamisar argues that in general, "the whole trend has been the other way, toward saying that police surveillance is not a search." Giving a Charmin-like squeeze to a bus passenger...
