The Supreme Court ruled it was okay to require voters to show photo ID before casting a ballot. Yet Wisconsin Democrats still refuse to budge in their opposition:
In a 6-3 ruling, the high court said an Indiana law requiring voters to show photo IDs at the polls - one of the strictest ID laws in […]
Professors Steven Calabresi and John McGinnis come out in support of Sen. John McCain for President because he’s most electable and that electability gives conservatives a better chance at fighting back judicial activism:
We believe that the nomination of John McCain is the best option to preserve the ongoing restoration of constitutional government. He is by […]
From knowing him for a few years I trust James Joyner to be honest in his observations and resulting conclusions. He was among a group of webloggers privileged to have dinner with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Joyner writes,
Thomas has a hearty laugh and seems to be genuinely enjoying his life. He’s still understandably […]
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich unloads on former law school classmate Clarance Thomas:
At Yale Law School, which I attended with Thomas in the early 1970s, he was notable only for his silence, within the classrooms and without. He wore a skullcap and a scowl. After graduating, he led an undistinguished legal career. Under Reagan, he […]
O.J. Simpson was arrested for armed robbery. In this case he can’t claim he was no where near the scene:
Simpson, 60, acknowledged that he entered a man’s room with a group of friends, one of whom was posing as a potential buyer, after being tipped off that some of his personal items were for sale […]
While on his ceaseless pursuit of looking for his ex-wife’s real killer O.J. Simpson was questioned by Las Vegas police about a casino theft.
Asked whether Simpson is a suspect, the officer replied, “It is an alleged theft, and he is an alleged suspect.”
Sort of like he “allegedly” killed his wife.
“Police: Simpson Questioned in Alleged Casino […]
Here’s a reason to think about going to law school:
The Law of “24″
Professor W. Sharp
LL.M Course 853 (cross-listed) | 2 credit hours
The award winning Fox Television drama series 24 explores America’s fictional response to international terrorism through the eyes of Jack Bauer, a U.S. counter-terrorism agent. Oftentimes without remorse or regard […]
The FBI’s surveillance methods have come into the Internet Age. They’re now connected directly into the U.S. communications network and can begin monitoring communications with a click of the mouse:
DCSNet is a suite of software that collects, sifts and stores phone numbers, phone calls and text messages. The system directly connects FBI wiretapping outposts around […]
A U.S. Senator might be preparing to “spend more time with his family.”
“Sen. Larry Craig’s ‘Lewd’ Conduct In A Men’s Bathroom”
UPDATE: The calls are out for Craig to resign. Part of it is tactical. A replacement Republican would be in better shape to win the seat. There’s also the moral component. It’s not very Senatorial […]
On Fox News Sunday Newt Gingrich wouldn’t defend Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Think Progress posted the transcript:
Both the president and country are better served if the attorney general is a figure of competence. Sadly, the current attorney general is not seen as any of those things. I think it’s a liability for the president. More importantly, […]
Last time I checked the President can’t pick and choose what laws he wants enforced. That’s what Bush administration lawyers are threatening to do with possible contempt of Congress charges:
Under federal law, a statutory contempt citation by the House or Senate must be submitted to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, “whose duty […]
A federal judge threw out Joe Wilson’s and Valarie Plame’s civil suit against Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and other unnamed Bush administration officials:
U.S. District Judge John D. Bates dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds and said he would not express an opinion on the constitutional arguments. Bates dismissed the case against […]
A U.S. appeals court tossed an ACLU suit challenging the domestic terrorist spying program:
The 2-1 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel vacated a 2006 order by a lower court in Detroit, which had found the post-Sept. 11 warrantless surveillance aimed at uncovering terrorist activity to be unconstitutional, violating rights to privacy […]
An important part of President Bush’s personality pundits and political analysts forget is he doesn’t care about polls or political popularity. If he did he would have abandonded Iraq and dumped the immigration bill. Commuting Scooter Libby’s prison sentence is another example.
Robert Novak, who started this whole mess, wrote today,
The conviction of Libby on perjury […]
Patterico hates, hates President Bush commuting Scooter Libby’s prison sentence:
You do the crime, you do the time. The jury said Scooter Libby did the crime. He should do the time.
He hates the act itself and the process used to get to the decision. President Bush didn’t consult with Justice Department officials. Of course with how […]
