Constitution not a suicide pact, allowing us to ignore duties

In 1949, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson asserted that “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” His perspective reflected concerns of government officials throughout American history. The gist of his statement is that our constitutional protections often conflict and require balance in favor of healthy, non-violent existence; in giving priority to a greater constitutional good. No rights are absolute, let alone all of the time. I believe Justice Jackson’s statement goes to the heart of our conflict between government protection from Covid-19, an extremely dangerous virus, and people who claim that government enforcement of those same protections violates a constitutional right. These people use the “right” to justify ignoring the science that guides government protections.

New York's oldest Irish pub reopens after longest closure in 166-year history

ONE OF New York City’s oldest and most iconic Irish pubs has reopened for business after its longest closure in 166 years of business. McSorley’s Old Ale House in the East Village closed its doors back on March 17, a week after the city’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, postponed the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade. Though McSorley’s initially continued to operate takeout orders, business proved slow, prompting the bar’s owner to shut the pub entirely. The fact this legendary Irish pub stayed shut for two whole months is a measure of how seriously Covid-19 impacted life in New York – one of the worst-hit US states for coronavirus. Incredibly, McSorley’s previously stayed open during the American Civil War and also through the Spanish flu pandemic of the early 20th century. Advertisement “When John McSorley died in 1910, the bar was shut down for a week. Hurricane Sandy shut the door for a week,” Gregory de la Haba, a bartender and the husband of McSorley’s owner, told Time Out. “This is unprecedented for sure.” Now,…

Coronavirus has been 'virtually eliminated' from streets of Ireland, leading doctors says

CORONAVIRUS has been “virtually eliminated” from Ireland’s streets according to a top doctor. Ireland reported no new deaths from coronavirus for the first time in over two months this past Monday, May 25, in what was heralded as a “Day of Hope” by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. Speaking on RTE’s Morning Ireland, Clinical Medical Officer Dr Colm Henry noted that community transmission of the virus had dropped massively. However, he was at pains to warn that any swift lifting of restrictions could reverse the progress made so far. "We have seen this virus virtually eliminated from our streets,” he said. Advertisement "We must take great care as we ease these restrictions that we don't allow this virus back onto our streets. "We don't see a return of widespread community transmission and our hospitals being overrun as a result." Dr. Henry’s caution echoed the sentiments of Health Minister Simon Harris. Mr Harris told RTE’s Prime Time that while he remained “optimistic” that Ireland’s plans for returning to the “new normal”…

FLAWED HERO: The republicanism and racism of Ireland's forgotten nationalist John Mitchel

JOHN MITCHEL - the Irish nationalist icon and journalist who championed Irish liberty but was also an American slavery apologist - continues to prove divisive right up to the present day. Following his arrest in Ireland under the treason felony act in 1848, he was transported to Van Diemen’s Land, from where he escaped to the United States in 1853. This divisiveness was a latter construct by those seeking to evaluate Mitchel’s ideals through a modern lens. Mitchel, who positioned himself as the true inheritor of the Republican ideals of the Society of United Irishmen of 1798, founded his controversial views on race in Ireland and transferred them to an American arena when he found himself a refugee in the new world. Mitchel’s journalism in his United Irishman newspaper ran from February 12, 1848 for sixteen weekly editions until May 27 of the same year. Advertisement The paper was based in Dublin’s Trinity Street - symbolically very close to Dublin Castle - to illustrate the challenge it was intent on posing…

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald urges 'clarity' from Taoiseach on Covid-19 restrictions

SINN FÉIN leader Mary Lou McDonald has urged the Government to provide 'clarity' on Covid-19 restrictions after the Taoiseach was spotted in Phoenix Park with his partner and two friends. Earlier this week, images of Mr Varadkar emerged on social media showing him, his partner Matt and two friends spending time in Phoenix Park. While they appeared to be adhering to social distancing measures, and Phase 1 allows groups of up to four people to meet outdoors, there was confusion as to whether the restrictions allowed for meetings of long periods to take place, rather than just brief exercise outdoors. Ms McDonald raised the issue while speaking on Radio Kerry yesterday, saying the leaders of this country owe it to the people to provide clarity on what is allowed. Advertisement "I did understand that the advice was not to have picnics," the Sinn Féin leader said. "I know they are having picnics." "I just take the general view that for the head of government, for anyone in elected office, y'know, you need to add clarity…

Ireland set for hottest day of the year

IRELAND’S HOTTEST day of the year so far is fast approaching. Unfortunately, the majority of people won’t be able to enjoy it quite the same way as normal due to the country’s ongoing lockdown restrictions. Under the current rules, households are not allowed to travel more than five kilometres from their homes, making trips to the beach and other beauty spots impossible for many. Anyone going out, meanwhile, can only meet up with others in groups of up to four, while social distancing measures must be observed at all times. While all of the restrictions listed are entirely necessary, they make what would have otherwise been a day for sun, sea and general relaxation a little trickier. Advertisement According to Met Eireann, temperatures are set to soar to as high as 29C this coming Thursday, May 29. And while that may be cause for celebration among some, lockdown restrictions are likely to making enjoying the hot weather a little trickier than normal. Met Eireann are forecasting 27C conditions today, Wednesday…

Irish community in Britain disproportionately affected by coronavirus, national body claims

THE Irish community across Britain has been disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a national body representing its interests. Factors such as the ageing demographic of the Irish population – which has the oldest median age of any minority ethnic group in Britain – and the number of its members who work in the NHS or other frontline settings have seen the community “truly represented” on both sides of the coronavirus crisis, the head of the Irish in Britain (IIB) organisation told The Irish Post this week. Reflecting on 10 weeks of lockdown that has seen the many older people among the Irish population across Britain forced to self-isolate in order to shield themselves from the virus, IIB CEO Brian Dalton claims the community has many to mourn but also much to celebrate as we look to a future which will be unrecognisable for a community “defined by its impulse to come together”. “Our work at Irish in Britain has always advocated for reform to address the health inequalities within…

EU to extend sanctions against Syria despite COVID-19 pandemic

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:00 P.M.) – European Union officials have confirmed their intention to extend sanctions against the Syrian government, despite the COVID-19 outbreak across the world. A high-ranking European official told reporters in Brussels on Wednesday that extending the sanctions against the Syrian government “will send a strong message that the current approach, which includes violence, the deterioration of the humanitarian situation and the use of chemical weapons, is totally unacceptable,” the TASS News Agency reported. The official, whose identity was not revealed, again called for a political solution to the conflict in Syria. Another official from the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Authority said, “The sanctions will be extended soon.” During the 73rd session of the World Health Assembly, the Syrian Minister of Health, Nizar Yazigi, announced that “harsh and unjust” U.S. and European sanctions hinder efforts to combat the spread of the coronavirus in Syria.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – The Russian Air Force was seen all over the western countryside of the Idlib Governorate on Wednesday, as their jets buzzed areas like Jisr al-Shughour along the Turkish border. According to a field report from the Idlib Governorate, the Russian Air Force was flying over areas under the control of the hardline militant groups like the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), and Hurras Al-Deen. Some opposition activists claimed that the Russian Air Force launched airstrikes; however, a Syrian Arab Army (SAA) source said there were no recorded attacks.

Russia flexes might to send message to US, NATO that Syria’s coast is a no-fly-zone

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) – The Russian military is no longer tolerating U.S flights near the Syrian coast, as they have now intercepted at least three American planes in the eastern Mediterranean over the last 90 days. According to a Syrian military source in Damascus, the Russian Armed Forces previously tolerated the U.S.’ flights along the boundaries of Syria’s airspace, but given their repeated attempts to test the radar and air defense systems at the Hmeimim Airbase, the Russian Federation believes it is important to remind the Americans that they are not free to operate in these areas. The source pointed out that prior to the recent interception by the Russian Air Force, the U.S. Navy had conducted several flights near Syrian airspace in the month of May. When the Russian Air Force’s S-35 jets intercepted two U.S. P-8A Poseidon military aircraft in the eastern Mediterranean, the American planes were not seen in this region for several days.
