Racism on the part of judges is visibly present in British courts.

If half of all lawyers have seen instances of this, that doesn't mean half the judges have demonstrated such behavior. I expect it is more like 1%. If one out of 100 judges displays racism, and those that do so do it frequently, and if the average lawyer gets to see observe 50 judges' behavior, then half of all lawyers would see a judge act racist.

It is unacceptable for any judge to act in a biased way in court. What's needed is a system for helping biased judges learn, or excluding them.

Arguing that Salafi Arabia's oil output cut is an attempt to intervene in the US election against the Democratic Party. I fear it may be very effective.

**Republicans aim to pass national "don't say gay" law.*

These laws spread broad fear because Republicans have a pattern of stretching the repressive potential of any law that fits their ideology. We cannot judge these laws by interpretations that would be reasonable.
