The best chance of preventing President Trump from acting on his threats to attack civilian targets in Iran so that in his words “(a) whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again” is for Republican members of Congress to speak out clearly and immediately.  We urge you in the strongest way possible to make public statements that any attacks should be made against only military targets.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the future of the conservative movement. To anti-MAGA principled conservatives and legacy Republicans who are feeling lost, confused or dispirited — and there are many — I remind you of one immutable fact: There will be an election for president in 34 months. According to the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution, President Trump is forbidden from being elected more than twice. That changes everything.

A recent study by the nonprofit Public Agenda and the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University reveals a Republican voter base that is much less monolithic than previously thought. This study drew on focus groups and surveys of more than 4500 Americans, so the findings should be taken seriously.

One of ORL’s core principles is support for the rule of law. The “rule of law” sounds like something we should all support, and yet it is under attack right now by President Trump and his supporters. What is the rule of law exactly? And why is it foundational to our democracy?

Originally published in The Hill Republican President Calvin Cooledge (1923-29) once said , “It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.” That statement is as true today as it was then. Maybe even more so, because progressives in Congress can introduce some really bad bills. And if Senate Republicans were to end the Senate filibuster, the next time Democrats control the Senate (which could be as soon as January) the public will learn just how bad progr

The Trump presidency, for far too much of the time, bears more resemblance to a lawless syndicate than to an honorable governmental administration. The repetitive commission of war crimes on the high seas and in Venezuela, the threats to resort to force against Greenland, one of the United States’ closest allies for over seven decades and the deployment of a staggering array of military assets to confront Iran with overwhelming force — all without constitutionally-required co

ORL supports the Constitution and the Rule of Law as one of our founding principles. Absent military attack or the imminent threat of attack, only Congress can declare war or authorize the use of military force, not the President.

President Donald Trump has embroiled the United States in another illegal war. Less than two months after an unconstitutional and unauthorized U.S. military operation in Venezuela, Trump has launched a full-scale bombing campaign against Iran. He did so with open intent to effect regime change (among other ostensible purposes).

As the fifth year of Russia’s illegal aggression and ongoing war crimes begins, it’s time to ask what more Ukraine’s friends and allies can do to help defend that war-ravaged nation and, by extension, secure the rest of Europe.
