Looks like there IS a war on women, and this clown deserves a Medal of Honor, or DIShonor, along with wife beaters extrodinaire Jim Moron and Alan Grayson.

Posner, whether you like it or not, identified the flaw(s) in the anti-homo marriage argument. So, you can complain, or adapt.

[Jim Robinson]

We need to bring back tar and feathering.

Perhaps it’s time the government begin issuing “rape licenses”

Pretty much every male Democratic politician has one.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Twit!

[VanDeKoik]

Rape License can go with the chicken inspector’s badge.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

If the issuance of a rape license is a valid extension of utilitarianism then it is just one more reduction-ad-absurdum nail in the coffin of utilitarianism.

Peter Singer has been coming up with lots of coffin nails. Glad to see that Posner has come up with yet another.

What's next, License to Kill?

hmmm...

You know, this might work!

A creep gets an LTR and the victim or her dad files for an LTK and returns the "favor", so to speak.

I’d recommend a Federal Judge Season but I eat what I hunt and they don’t seem like they’d be good eatin.

“How can tradition be a reason for anything?”

If I'm ever in Judge Posner's court this will be what I'll say to him when he asks me why I'm not standing when he enters the court room.

[colorado tanker]

Posner is one of the leaders of the "Chicago School" that applies principles from economics to the law. Reagan appointed him and he is generally considered a conservative, but he is incredibly smart and knows it, which sometimes leads him to going off on a tangent because he can be so pedantic.

He also likes to pick fights with Scalia. It's pretty obvious he thinks he should be on the Supreme Court, but that would be a mistake for both parties.

[CodeToad]

So, if he found the “right to rape exceeds the victims damages” then I suppose he might find the right to kill in the same light.

[reagandemocrat]

Your honor, stare decisis is founded in history.

[bobo1]

The progressives continuing the war on reason and common sense.

[ConservativeMind]

I’d give all his gay neighbors those licenses, with a “one Posner” bag limit.

[gitmo]

How about Rapist Hunting Licenses based upon an exclusively utilitarian and morally relative cost-benefit analysis, the “right to justice,” for some men at least, “exceeds the rapists’ pleasures.”

[metmom]

Unbelievable ping.

[metmom]

Well, throw him in general population in a prison where people he has tried are serving time and tell them they have a *right* to rape.

See if he enjoys it so much and if his physical and emotional pain is insignificant to the prisoners *right* to rape him.
