...Supreme Court still matters. The difference is that it matters for the cases it refuses to hear, not for the predictably partisan decisions it hands down. As Chief Justice Roberts' history makes all too plain, his main interest is in restricting access to the court, effectively removing the judiciary as a resource for those injured by the powerful. This is a radical revolution indeed...
...added, “it wouldn’t be hard to find similar trends elsewhere.” Others disagreed about the reasonable prices. “I liked the clothes, but I would always be shocked to walk in and find that a plain T-shirt cost $80,” Rachel A.

The run-up to the party's biggest get-together is always a tense time, with security officials desperate to prevent any disruptions. But this meeting, at which the government sets policy goals and anoints a new generation of leaders, set China in a "deep freeze," says Nicholas Bequelin of New York-based Human Rights Watch. In the past, the freeze has always been followed by a thaw that saw detained...
