A Greek Muslim woman who lost out because her late husband’s will was adjudicated by Islamic law has been vindicated by the European Court of Human Rights
In an era when Europe had been torn asunder by warfare between Catholic and Protestant kings, John Locke set out the revolutionary idea that the state should hold back from adjudicating or enforcing religious doctrine. A century later, his ideas had a decisive influence on America's founding fathers. And to this day, he is provoking some rich intellectual debate, among Muslims as well as Christianshttp://econ.st/16zeLBl
From today's Morning Reads:
- According to NY Rep. Louise Slaughter, the top Dem on the House Rules Committee, the $1 trillion spending bill that the House is expected to vote on today “is 1,600 pages, was released in the middle of the night, and not one member of this committee has been able to read all the way through it. There has been no opportunity for public input, no mark ups, no hearings.”
- The Washington Post writes it includes “a measure tucked into the bill that would allow rich donors to shovel up to nearly 10 times as much in campaign cash into the coffers of party committees.”
- Dick Cheney says the Senate report on torture is “full of crap.”
"I've never felt more shoved under the rug in my life."
China had a $198 billion trade surplus with the rest of the world last year, with its exports to the United States outpacing imports by more than four to one. Despite that, in the last 12 months, Beijing has filed more cases with the W.T.O.’s powerful trade tribunals in Geneva than any other country complaining about another’s trade practices.
The Washington Post points out that this "strategy is largely intended to avoid the mistakes of the Clinton administration, which crafted an extensive proposal in secret for many months before delivering the finished product to lawmakers, who quickly rejected it."
