This empty eyed judge needs to read real scholars like John C. H Wu, whose analysis of the Natural Law underpinings of our Constitution confer like minded decision making on judges.
Wish had link, but refertosynopsis to Wu article in Fordham Law Review.
Read and appreciate.
A refreshing burst of honesty from a swamp monster. It's clear that they all think this way; 80%-90% of "Fedzilla" is completely unauthorized if not outright forbidden by the Constitution.
So by his reasoning any transient could just come in, throw him out and take his seat.
Why not?
Why should Trump even listen to or follow these circus ring judges?
this jerk should be impeached and disbarred.
followed by a good old fashioned tar-and-feathering.
Is he senile, stupid or just plain to lazy to study?
If one does not believe God exists they cannot accept God’s gifts.
As part of Posner’s oath office is to support the Constitution of the United States. If Posner sees no value in studying the Constitution, how does he support it in his rulings. His statements disqualify him to be a judge because he is not fulfilling his oath and is in fact, intentionally violating it.
On a recent legal case and Posner’s questionable interest in and use of Jewish law:
“Legal theorists might claim Posners diversion into interpreting religious doctrine is harmless, because he didnt base his ruling on those interpretations. But they would be wrong. Injecting religious inclinations and interpretations into a court decision has no basis in law, sets a dangerous precedent, and can have troubling consequences. Will litigants have to take into consideration any such future inclinations to receive a fair ruling? What if there is a conflict of interest between a judges religious and legal inclination? Will other judges decide cases based on Posners analysis of Jewish law? This is a sliding scale to theocracy, and a fickle one at that the very system the Establishment Clause was designed to safeguard us from.

An apt metaphor. He, and many other judges, especially the one in Hawaii, deserves a good impeaching.
None of the above.
I think that one word succinctly describes his ideas. EVIL.
