Fact Checker: War is peace. Fence is wall

Democracy Dies in Darkness The truth behind the rhetoric War is peace. Fence is wall. In George Orwell’s “1984,” the ruling party works to convince the masses that war is actually peace. For his part, President Trump claims that 100 miles of fencing for the U.S.-Mexico border is actually the first tract of his wall. But war is not peace, and  a fence is not a wall .

NATIONAL LAW JOURNAL Supreme Court Brief POWERED BY  LAW.COM Tony Mauro Marcia Coyle Feb 20, 2018 The nine are back in town and the February argument cycle has begun. In what appears to be a first, three former clerks of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—will argue in the same case. Plus, it's criminal justice week in the argument cycle and we take a look at the high-powered lawyering on the defendants' side—an area in which good lawyering has been lacking, according to two justices.
