On NRT: Te Tiriti needs a guardian - norightturn.blogspot.com/2025/…
in reply to Idiot/Savant

Shoehorning in minor party policy, via coalition agreements, is about as far as we can get from a robust way to do constitutional reform. This was one of my core criticisms of the Treaty Violation Bill, and the Regulatory Standards Bill. But it also applies to Te Pāti Māori's proposal for a Te Tiriti guardian official who can singlehandedly overrule a duly elected Parliament.

I totally get the motivation for this. But I suspect we can come up with something more futureproof.

It bears noting that Judge Lamberth is a conservative’s conservative. One of the last remaining Reagan appointees.

Five stars: The Silencers by Donald Hamilton (1962) is the fourth Matt Helm book. Matt is called to Juarez to meet with an agent that has important information. From there they are sent north into New Mexico on a vague clue: a city and a landmark.

German election: CDU, Merz drop in poll after AfD vote


Summary

Support for Germany’s CDU/CSU alliance has dropped to 28% after candidate Friedrich Merz relied on far-right AfD votes to pass a border policy resolution, breaking a long-standing political taboo.

Merz’s chancellor approval ratings also fell to 22%, tying with Green candidate Robert Habeck.

Nationwide protests followed the CDU-AfD cooperation, and parliament later rejected Merz’s immigration bill.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s SPD holds at 16%, and the AfD remains steady at 20%.

Yeah, rightfully so. That fuck deserves that and so much more. First his bullshit about the "Firewall against right wingers" and than that.

Hope people remember on election day.
