@BrianLehrer @JoshuaMZeitz @WNYC Does your guest have a view on how to translate the repudiation of the GOP supermajority’s efforts to restrict abortion in Ohio into a more general repudiation of GOP tactics to maintain a supermajority in the legislature, notwithstanding the more moderate views of the voters?

Game-changers for today: build capacity to help fight corruption. The powerful must respect the limits of power. Teach the citizens about the #RuleofLaw, Check the power of the military. @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

What do people involved in US legal disputes really want? Some answers may be surprising. Fast, fair & impartial decisions, yes. But also telling my story, being heard by other side, and importantly, affordability. @TheWJP #ruleoflaw #WorldJusticeForum #accesstojustice

In losing #RBG in September 2020, the US Supreme Court #SCOTUS lost its last remaining civil rights lawyer. As a young lawyer, she followed Thurgood Marshall’s racial justice example and strategy in her fight for women’s civil rights. @Sifill_LDF #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

The unraveling of the #RuleOfLaw always leads to the unraveling of #democracy. — @Sifill_LDF @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

#RBG brought a practical approach and awareness of the reality of women’s lives. Her dissent in Ledbetter showed how pay disparity actually works in the workplace. Congress later passed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. @Sifill_LDF @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

Will #KBJ bring to the #SCOTUS conference room the same schooling about real-life experience that Justice Thurgood Marshall and later #RBG brought to their fellow justices— sometimes to their discomfort? #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

#SCOTUS must dispense not just #law but #justice. @Sifill_LDF @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

Is the business model of #socmed social media consistent with democracy? The platforms — #Twitter, #Facebook, #instagram and more — often rely on lurid or polarizing content to drive revenue, exacerbating racial and other social divides. @Sifill_LDF #WorldJusticeForum @TheWJP

[MusingsinLawArtandLife @Musingsinlaw]

Be alert to the global movement to shut down protest. Established civil rights activists need to keep the valve open to youth looking to challenge the status quo. Thurgood Marshall was uncomfortable with the methods of 26-year-old #MLK. @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum @Sifill_LDF

Despite significant growth of internet usage in Southeast Asia during the pandemic — particularly via cellphones — inequality of access persists. Solvable and solved by access to finance, education, and healthcare. Ming Tan, @techforgoodtv Institute @TheWJP #WorldJusticeForum

At the opening plenary of the 2022 #WorldJusticeForum, @KevinCasasZ calls upon attendees to “turn the tide” against injustice, corruption, and declining adherence to the #ruleoflaw through practical, community-based action.

@JaneMayerNYer @thenewyorker @NewYorker Yes. If you only believe in the Rule of Law as applied to others, you don’t believe in the Rule of Law. Judicial independence and self-restraint are among its hallmarks. If Thomas’s non-recusal stands, it will go down in the history of what went wrong great American experiment
