I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

More to the Bolton Battle than Bolton

Very high-handed politics have erupted in the Bolton Battle. All players must take a step back and consider options, figure out how much they want to gamble to make a point and secure victory.

Over at the Washington Note Steve Clemons has an excellent post on what's really at stake in the battle over John Bolton. Like the Nuclear Option for judges it's about a lot more than John Bolton. It's an attempt to do away with advice and consent and consolidate the power of the White House. Go read The Battle over Bolton: The Costs of Winning are Going to Be High for Either Side.
