TLDR
Lawler as mentioned in this paper argued that being for the freeze means that one is not for disarmament, which is hardly a rational position in the sense that it is suspect if not immoral, in the eyes of some.Abstract:
that a plurality of the American Catholic bishops endorse a nuclear freeze (p. 4), saying that they are thus "taking their stance with Moscow,55 which is for a freeze, and not with the Vatican, which "is still in favor of disarmament?not a freeze.55 To make any sense at all, Mr. Lawler must mean that being for the freeze means that one is not for disarmament? hardly a rational position. One recalls here the arguments, during the 19305s and 19405s, that being for racial justice in the United States was suspect if not immoral, in the eyes of some, because the communists also favored it.read more

The normative ethics of immigration detention in liberal states
Abstract: nakedness of being human and nothing but human.” Incorporating biopolitics, Agamben suggests that the pairing of enjoyment of human rights with citizenship status is not a fluke or mistake to be dislocated from the otherwise functioning state system; rather, this occurrence acts to shore up sovereign power. Then, following Schmitt, Agamben argues that in fact sovereign power resides in the decision to decide on who loses the right to have rights and, hence, becomes bare life existing in the state of exception. Agamben argues that the immigration detention centre is an important instance of the state of exception. For him, the state of exception constitutes law while simultaneously suspending it. It is a “zone of indistinction between outside and inside, exception and rule, licit and illicit, in which the very concepts of subjective right and juridical protection no longer make any sense.” The detention centre/state of exception signifies sovereign power through its determination of the reach of the law live in the state of exception means to experience both of these possibilities and yet, by always separating the two forces, ceaselessly try to interrupt the working of the machine that is leading the West toward global civil war. 175 Rancière (2004, p.300) explains that bare life “becomes the complicity of democracy, viewed as the mass individualistic concern with individual life, with technologies of power holding sway over biological life as such.” 176 Agamben, 1998: 170. 177 Agamben, 1998: 170.
