The Gap Into Conflict

September 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment

No, despite the title, this isn’t another post about living under the Bush Regime. During this “breather” in the substantive writing, I’ve mostly been occupied with reading cases for school. The life of a law student allows little in the way of spare time. What other spare time there has been has been spent re-stocking […]

Blogdrawal

September 8th, 2003 · No Comments

Wow…two whole days without writing anything. I’m going into blogdrawal soon, if I don’t say something. Wilfrid Sellars has, unfortunately, fried my brain. When S knows O again, I’ll try to write it all out. (If you’d read even the first chapter of the Sellars book listed under “Current Reading” you’d get that one.) Will […]

No Spin Spins Out Again

September 4th, 2003 · 5 Comments

Before I start, let me put my cards on the table: I do not think illegal aliens should be given driver’s licenses. For that matter, I don’t think they should get anything except constitutional rights if and when they are apprehended. But O’Reilly over at Fox asks Should we allow them to get driver’s licenses?

No Secret Hearings Unless…

September 4th, 2003 · No Comments

U.S. District Judge Hoyt has decided that the Enron hearings need to remain closed in order to prevent embarrassment to the government or the defendants.

Ignoring the fact that free countries like the United States are largely (except under the current Regime) founded on the idea that open, public trials are a good things, the real question is “What are you REALLY trying to hide there, Judge Hoyt?”

If you ask me, it’s Hoyt who should be embarrassed; he could have come up with a better excuse than this!

Courage, Principles, Republicanism

September 3rd, 2003 · No Comments

Too much good stuff out there today. [Note: The blockquote is not a quote from the book; the alignment worked out that way because this was a short post.] So it is with deep humility and amazement that I’ve learned that Michael Cudahy, a successful Republican Field Commander, has decided he can no longer tolerate […]
