I have my Constitutional Law final examination tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. The exam is a three-hour tour of Equal Protection, Procedural and Substantive Due Process, along with a variety of First Amendment issues and who knows what else.

No time lately for blogging as finals start this week. As if that weren’t bad enough, I’ve apparently got some spiritual issues, too. 😉 The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level Score Purgatory (Repenting Believers) Very Low Level 1 […]
