Domestic Politics
Knock
Often, opportunity only knocks once. You’ve got to listen, hard, to understand what you’ve been offered, and it’s easy to let the moment pass you by while you weigh alternatives and options. If you’re Barack Obama, you need to find… Continue Reading
Sepcialist Jeremy Hall v. Department of Defense
