(for his anti semitic posts )
Like what?

That is nothing more than your opinion.
I didn’t see anything antisemitic!
Did he present a well reasoned and well written paper? That is what he is to be graded on.
So apparently, no one has seen this paper on this thread.
Yet several are commenting on it as if they know its contents in specific.
Lazy.
Re: 43 - you haven’t even seen the paper.
Damsky is a Slavic name.
If he wants to go down this road, at the time of the writing Slavics were not considered “white”.

Casimir Pulaski (Kazimierz Pułaski), a hero of the American Revolution would probably find that to be untrue. Just sayin’.
Thanks. Yeah, innuendo is MSM main weapon against conservatives. They usually are not going to state their attacts directly but nudging people to think that conservatives are inherently racists, bigots, and so on
“He is also a white nationalist and antisemite. Last fall, he took a seminar taught by a federal judge on “originalism,” the legal theory favored by many conservatives that seeks to interpret the Constitution based on its meaning when it was adopted.”
The NYT implies that since he is a white nationalist and antisemite believing in originalism we must infer Conservatives who believe in originalism must also be white nationalists and antisemites.
My son while in High School had to write an “argumentative paper”. Present an argument and then show why. He chose “Why Slavery in America was Good” (or something like that).
I said “Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
“Yeah. I mean, talk about an argument! Anybody can write a paper on why slavery was bad.”
It was a really interesting paper and I learned a lot. He ended up getting an A.
That’s right.
The Scots, Welsh and, naturally, the Irish were not considered white.
I know it tends to confuse people but that was the way it was.
The word white has repeatedly expanded over the years.
The funny thing is that people now think that non-white meant not human or some such nonsense. It did not mean that at all. It just meant that you were not of English or Lower German decent.
At the time of the founding there is no doubt he is correct that that is how it was meant. Since then of course we have adopted express constitutional amendments that extend citizenship and the franchise so he would be wrong in arguing that that would be a correct interpretation today. That’s legally - let alone morally. I don’t think his argument is going to get any support at all for the latter.
No people often go to law school aftera few years of other experience.
As a lawyer....the above is all 100% true. It is ESPECIALLY true for law school. A lawyer needs to be able to craft an argument. One of the big things they hammer home to you in law school is making the argument and personally agreeing with the argument are two completely different things. You MUST be able to divorce the two. In my law school they deliberately made you argue positions they knew you were personally against. The whole point of the exercise is to stop arguing with your feels and start developing/using your skills.
You're not going to agree with or like every client you ever have. You need to be able to competently represent them regardless.
I got my JD at 65.
“In the classroom, free market of ideas should exist.”
Agreed.
You seem to be nearly the only one that gets it.
Challenge existing models. Argue both sides.
Let all voices be heard. Make the case you disagree with.
Skills Law schools are supposed to teach.
Seems to be a non-answer.
Is a puppet legislature ran by Washington DC acceptable to approve amendments?
I mean, can we like invade Massachusetts, kick out all the existing legislators, create a voting system where only known party loyalists are allowed to vote, then use this new puppet legislature to pass whatever amendments we want?
I'm just wondering if this method passes constitutional muster.
We could sure make a lot of good amendments if we use this process.
You’ve always been a little weird, but WTF are you talking about? If you’re trying to make a point, then try to make one. Cut the nonsense with the dumb questions.
