“The fact that Ms Maxwell herself is neither Black nor Hispanic does not deprive of her of standing to raise this challenge,” the attorneys wrote in court papers, arguing that the US constitution “entitles every defendant to object to a [pool] that is not designed to represent a fair cross section of the community, whether or not the systematically excluded groups are groups to which he himself belongs”.

To See the Danger of a Domestic “War on Terror,” Look No Further Than This Florida Case

America leaving the war on Yemen isnt something Joe Biden should be praised for. He and Obama started the American Airstrike Campaign on Yemen. Only 1 american citizen has been killed in a war that has taken over 273000 Yemeni lives including over 3000 children. That American citizen was 8 year old Nawar al-Awlaki who was killed by an airstrike ordered by President Donald Trump on January 29th 2017 along with 4 other children shortly after he was inaugurated. Joe Biden should not be praised for taking a step towards ending a genocide he is partially responsible for starting. We should be optimistic about leaving war, but we should be critical of the people who started the war.
