If you are knowledgable about what law and graduate schools are strong in race theory, whiteness theory, or Jewish theory, please drop me a line at The Debate Link.

The Heterosexual Hemispheres Act of 2006.

“…all you’d have to do is say ‘truck.’” The Texas ethics commission (motto: We’d Be Really Busy If It Wasn’t Hopeless) has decided that the new state law demanding disclosure of gifts over $250 doesn’t require that the candidate state the value of the gift. So a gift of $300 or $300,000 could both be just labeled “cash.” H/T: Lindsay “bling bling” “da cheddah” and “swag” Beyerstein

Actually, it is proof that democratizing Iraq was a feasible goal–one that we’ve utterly bombed of course (no pun intended).

Who can spot what might be wrong with this passage? Senate Bill 1138 would allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty for sex offenders who are convicted twice of raping a child younger than 11. South Carolina would join Louisiana as the only states that allow the death penalty for crimes other than murder. Currently in South Carolina, murder is the only crime eligible for the death penalty. If South Carolina would become one of two states that allow the death penalty for crimes other than murder,...

Anyone who read The Case of the Speluncean Explorers in Law School (or, as in my case, as an undergrad) will appreciate Legal Fiction’s re-enactment using the Afghani Christian Convert case.

“University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.” –Henry Kissenger. Small stakes or not, if you peek inside the department office, you’ll see knives on the table and blood on the floor.

With race in the media, it’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

One of my roommates is making me watch “The O’Reilly Factor.” He’s not impressive. But when it went to commercial, I was informed “this show is brought to you by Waste Management,” my local garbage collection company. Irony amongst the Fox producers? Or just proof there is a God?

College security teams are using Facebook to investigate their students. Sketchy, or fair use?

Kobe Bryant: Soon to be Jew? The Jerusalem Post has the scoop. But did it have to end with this line? But Bryant dispelled the notion of replacing Schayes as the greatest Jewish basketball player of all-time. “I don’t know if I’m converting, but if I do, you can definitely add another athlete to the pool,” he said. And if he does, that’s one tip-off Bryant won’t be too excited about. Ouch!

What questions are “appropriate” for judicial nominees has become a contentious issue throughout the Alito and Roberts hearings. A recent article published in the Yale Law Journal’s online supplement argues that we should focus on asking how the nominee would have decided past cases. I provide commentary and analysis back at my own blog. But really interesting stuff.

Cross-Posted To The Debate Link Probably a foolish one, but whatever–and we’re on the topic in my Constitutional Law class, so may as well address it now. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution reads, in part, that “No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States.” This clause, as far as I understand it, was meant to overrule the Supreme Court’s decision in Barron v. City of Baltimore, 32 U.S....

Wouldn’t this be neat? I sure wouldn’t mind my very own warp drive. H/Ts: Bainbridge & Reynolds, LLP.

Here’s a thought experiment: What’s the difference between Israeli Jews and Iraqi Shiites?

Jesus gets SACKED.

It appears that legal bottom-feeder Roy Moore’s replacement on the Alabama Supreme Court is just as psychotic as he was.

You gotta hand it to him. Democratic Governor Brian Schwitzer has sure been impressive in his first year. An unabashed progressive with 65% approval ratings in the bloodiest of red states? If I were the GOP (especially Conrad Burns!), this would scare me almost as much as Abramoff.

Helpfully digested and summed up by the crack Debate Link staff.

One of my favorite Feminist sites, Alas, a Blog, has broached the subject of whether it should reserve certain threads specifically and exclusively for “radical feminist women.” I register my dissenting opinion here.
