Nia and Aughie discuss the new rules for oral arguments as the Court adjusts to meeting under social distancing guidelines. Mention is made of the problems created by using Zoom-like software to hold arguments (and the flush heard around the legal world). ; https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/civil_discourse/1033/thumbnail.jpg

Frank Herbert's Dune (1965), a classic of twentieth century American science fiction (sf), describes a fantastic universe where noble families, corporate interests and shadowy, cultish organisations vie for power and monopoly over a fantastic resource, the spice-melange. It is inarguably the power source of the novel's setting and its narrative. The immensely valuable and addictive substance increases longevity and radically expands the capabilities of the human mind – enabling movement, commerce, and communication on an epic scale. Positioning sf as "the literature of cognitive estrangement", I regard the spice-melange as a discursive platform for oil and the ideological, social and political formations that are inextricable from reliance on black gold, while its deleterious aspects are disavowed or deferred. I argue that this collective response constitutes oil as offshore: the degree to which it is implicated in modern political and social formations is fundamentally understated. On the contrary, it is framed as an object of science and political economy, not as their material basis; a mentality only made possible by a utopian discourse of everlasting, ecstatic innovation; itself a discourse made all the more potent by oil's power and mutability. I argue furthermore that sf is the approach best suited to combat the dominant discourse of oil as an offshore object of our society. Sf's utopian projects and excessive spectacles may serve as a spark to imagine new, alternative energy futures; as the estranging mechanisms of sf allow us to explore our energy present through extrapolations and analogies of new ways of powering human life. My final argument is that, by highlighting the centrality of energy to modern life and culture, sf is framed as an immediate and terrestrial concern in texts such as Dune. Opsomming Frank Herbert se Dune (1965) is 'n klassieke werk van twintigste-eeuse Amerikaanse wetenskapsfiksie waarin 'n fantastiese heelal beskryf word waar adellike families, korporatiewe belange en ...

Aughie and Nia discuss the SCOTUS rulings concerning access to President Donald Trump's tax records, and whether U.S. Presidents can claim absolute immunity from the state criminal process. In the instance of Vance, the SCOTUS ruled that the President does not have immunity from a state criminal subpoena. In the instance of Mazars, the SCOTUS ruled that the Congress must present a compelling case to a judge (and outlined questions that should be asked) to justify their subpoenas. ; https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/civil_discourse/1043/thumbnail.jpg

Aughie and Nia discuss the SCOTUS ruling in the case involving the Trump Administration's attempt to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The SCOTUS ruling focused on the Administrative Procedures Act, and whether the Trump Administration properly applied the necessary procedures to rescind DACA. ; https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/civil_discourse/1044/thumbnail.jpg

Nia and Aughie grapple with SCOTUS rulings and questions of racism and Congressional neglect as they pertain to treaties with Native American tribes. In this case, the SCOTUS ruled that the Creek Nation's 1833 and 1856 treaties with the federal government are still in place, bringing into question who has authority over the eastern portion of the state of Oklahoma. ; https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/civil_discourse/1042/thumbnail.jpg

New Jersey fishermen are challenging a 40-year-old precedent that gives executive agencies too much power.
Canonical divisions of the history of philosophy usually present as drastic the break between Medieval and Modern thinking. One can genuinely ask whether that rupture has not started in the Middle Ages and to what extent many of the elements that characterise the Modernity are already present in that period. In that sense, the article seeks to establish some similarities between Medieval and Modern thinking, particularly the aspects concerning the relationships between the ethical-political thinking of Duns Scotus and some ideas of Hobbes, that, after a detailed study reveal themselves as heirs of Medieval philosophical thinking.
