While young Americans have historically been somewhat less patriotic than their elders, many Gen Zers have slipped into outright anti-Americanism, write political science professors Kevin Wallsten and Jack Citrin. |

Anti-Americanism has emerged as a key facet of the anti-Israel protests roiling American campuses, which "raises questions about how attached today's youth are to their country." "Patriotism means love of country and is bolstered by a shared consciousness of what it means to be an American," Wallsten and Citrin write. Many surveys have shown that liberals are less patriotic than conservatives and that young liberals are the least patriotic of all. That's especially true of Gen-Z, now age 12 to 27. Maybe Gen Zers will become more patriotic as they age, as previous generations have. But Wallsten and Citrin are skeptical. "[G]lobalization and multiculturalism continue to gnaw away at the prioritization of a common national identity and the value of citizenship." "Unless the coming generations develop a sense of solidarity across political lines, perhaps through national service or improved civic education, the talk will not be about One America but about No America."

Op-eds exploring key issues affecting the U.S. and world: |

By Austin Sarat, William Nelson Cromwell Professor Jurisprudence & Political Science at Amherst College |
As it has done in other cases, the court's conservative majority seemed ready to jettison its own originalist interpretive method and to ignore the grave threat that former President Trump's election denialism — and efforts to block the peaceful transfer of power— posed to our constitutional republic. |

By Jonathan Turley, J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at the George Washington University Law School |
The premise of the prosecution always had that Rube Goldberg feel. It was so implausible as to be impossible. After all, the base charge is a simple misdemeanor under a New York law against falsifying business records. |

Ukraine may be able to reverse some Russian gains made over the last few months, but it cannot afford another all-out offensive. Sustaining losses on the scale of last year could be fatal, especially with no guarantee of further U.S. funding to replace them. |

Does the president have immunity from criminal prosecution? Or, to put the question more finely, does Donald Trump? It should be an easy question for the textualist. Nothing in the Constitution grants him immunity. The framers knew how to put an immunity clause in the Constitution. Many of the states did; the framers chose not to. Case closed. |
