ipso facto

As divided and polarized as we are in our domestic politics, we can hardly expect harmony when showing up at international institutions that ipso facto subsume a “clash of civilizations.”

If they do so, the political regime is ipso facto legitimate; if they do not, it is ipso facto illegitimate.

The burial of stare decisis leaves us, ipso facto, with a void: Which Latin phrase best describes the legal doctrine of this new era, in which judges rule by whim, not precedent?

“Whatever conflicts with that reality can be dismissed out of hand because it comes from the liberal media, and is therefore ipso facto not to be trusted.”

I think it’s quite a different story to say that because people adopt internationally, ipso facto we should bring in hundreds of thousands or millions of people across the globe who want to come here.
