US policy on Israeli settlements in West Bank is longstanding + US must balance Turkey into compromise with moderate Kurdish political groups

US politicians worry about antagonizing Erdogan

Possibilities that a future Turkish government might accept a de-facto Kurdish state in northern Syria

Good exchange on the nature of state power!

Key point (IMO): Political offer opportunities for political deal making

Future Kurdistan will be semi-autonomous region in Northern Syria and Northern Iraq

Why and in what range of circumstances I support the death penalty

Why we must be honest in our assessments of differing political ideologies

Amusing discussion with Dr. M over his inquisition on states that retain the Death Penalty (Dr. M likes to throw me pop-quiz questions)

Why US liberals have more credibility on death penalty than European liberals

Why the UK is likely to stay in the EU, and why that membership suits US interests

PREDICTION: Pat will retain his exceptional hearing (inside semi-funny joke: our stage director was speaking to control room and Pat heard her) AND... ISIS Chemical Weapons plots becoming major security issue in weeks ahead. My latest @ National Review covers this concern - see here.

FORCED PREDICTION: Christie endorsement of Trump will not be overly significant. And Jeb Bush will rebuke Trump before Super Tuesday.

My time linked comments

Why Justice Scalia's Jurisprudence was unique and why he requires a successor-in-kind

Teasing Clarence about the notion of a good Jurist

Why the Pope is right on condoms and wrong on Trump 

The Pope should talk about the walls of impoverishment and tyranny in Cuba and Venezuela

Eleanor says Pope is a ''beacon of hope'' - me: ''unless people are oppressed by communism''

Why Rubio should not be blocking the appointment of US Ambassador to Mexico

Rubio should lift his hold on nominee, but criticize policy on Cuba

Apple, ultimately will be forced to offer entry ports for US Judicial orders. Also, IMPORTANT note: we should get the law right now. When terrorists attack and if encryption is shown to have facilitated their attack, the ensuing political overreach will be far more damaging to civil liberties

Funny moment: Dr. M making a rather extensive point, while Pat gets increasingly impatient. I'm just turned 30. It's a great honor to sit in between these two legends.

Using Secure Information Facility based setups in order to allow encryption investigations

US needs a law that provides warrant-judicial review process and access to encrypted data

FORCED PREDICTION: Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates, but economy will avoid near term recession
