It is very fun to listen to Steve Bannon's crew say that they have lost the Hispanic vote because of the economy, and then say that the Northern states will be fine because there aren't as many Hispanic voters there. Is the economy better up there? Scholars remain divided

"A U.S. President cannot pardon himself. This is based on the legal principle that no one can be a judge in their own case, which has been upheld by the Department of Justice and constitutional scholars." But now he owns the DoJ, and scholars can go pound sand. I guarantee he'll try this final scam.

you're entirely right about the structural problem you outline above - for many senior scholars the natural mode is to opine about the methods, the ideologies, the ideal politics of the field, while completely ignoring whether or not younger scholars can have jobs. Still.

”The White House’s viewpoint-based restrictions on press access injure the public…and, ultimately, our democratic system of government.”

My personal principles largely derive from three 'scholars':

Diogenes
St. Francis (Pre-Canonization)
Stafford Beer

The base principle is that the only real thing is what you do, and what you say can only do as much as you live it.
