Is Barack Obama a space cadet? The man who would become senator of Illinois and a top Democratic presidential contender was credited for editorial or research assistance in a page-one footnote of what may be the zaniest-titled article ever published by the Harvard Law Review: "The Curvature of Constitutional Space: What Lawyers Can Learn From Modern Physics," authored by noted legal scholar Laurence Tribe.

From the article:
If Mr. Obama captures the White House, he might not curve space but may settle for setting aside a high-altitude seat on the Supreme Court for his former teacher, Mr. Tribe, who is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard.
THIS is an interesting point: what SCOTUS seats would Barack Hussein fill, and with what?

Why would HUSSEIN Obama look to the US Constitution?
His "living document" is the Koran.

THIS is an interesting point: what SCOTUS seats would Barack Hussein fill, and with what?It's worth asking Saul Alinsky's acolyte, Mrs Bill Clinton, the same question.

The Constitution and law are what we liberal elite legal academics and judges say it is. No need for legislation. No need for the text of the Constitution or the Federalist Papers,discredited and reactionary documents prepared by dead, white, Christian men. No need for democracy or pluralism. We rule. You shut up.

"making a reasonable but debatable legal point that courts should intervene not only when government directly infringes individual rights but also when people are adversely affected by existing social structures that he asserts have been created or perpetuated by the government."
Yikes.

Mr. Kobre added that while Mr. Tribe's physics analogy did not particularly add to or enlighten a point that others have made before, it was nice to see a lawyer managing to incorporate ideas of science into legal theory.
How about an analogy from fishing or cooking or music? Folks in the humanities have long had penis envy of science and are always trying to trick out their shtick with scientific-sounding geegaws.
