"Elite profs answer constitutional arguments by sticking their fingers in their ears."

[WayneS]

What?

Law professors from BOTH Yale AND Harvard think the health care ‘reform’ law is Constitutional?

Next you’ll be trying to tell me that most UC Berkeley professors voted for Obama in 2008!

[Red Steel]

Laurence Tribe of Harvard, in the New York Times. Both profs claim ObamaCare is constitutional.

I don't know how many times I've heard people claim this idiot Tribe a constitutionalists and conservative.

[WayneS]

... that’s NOT their ears...

[Mr. K]

... their ears if we're lucky...

[OldDeckHand]

"I don't know how many times I've heard people claim this idiot Tribe a constitutionalists and conservative. "

No, not Lawrence Tribe. He's about as orthodox liberal as you can get - a real movement liberal. Maybe you're thinking about Charles Fried or Ted Olson.

[freekitty]

Elite profs should be changed to “two pukes”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

There is a consensus. It is settled-law.

>... that’s NOT their ears...

Ah, but you’re forgetting where their heads are.

[Gator113]

A Harvard Muslim agrees with another Harvard Muslim, and a Yale lib activist joins in agreement.

Be still my heart.....

[WayneS]

Good point!

Clearly, I did not look deeply enough in to the situation before I commented...

Was this guy one of them?

[Red Steel]

I got him mixed up with Olsen.

In keeping theme with the title of this post



Anybody know anything about the law?

I was on jury duty once. It wasn't a murder trial.

Murder trial?

I don't know the technical word for it, Drew, but I know this: You take this man and turn him over to the sheriff, there'll be a trial all right. Trial by jury.

So what?

We killed a man, Drew. Shot him in the back. A mountain man. Gives us somethin' to consider.

All right, consider it. We're listening.

Shit, all these people are related. I'll be damned if I'll come back and stand trial... ...with this man's aunt and uncle......maybe his mama and his daddy sittin' in the jury box.

I passed the bar based on this movie alone ...

[SgtHooper]

Anybody know of a conservative towelhead?

Given the general attitude towards colonoscopy it’s quite understandable why you wouldn’t *want* to look deeply.

[Tublecane]

“Shit, all these people are related. I’ll be damned if I’ll come back and stand trial... ...with this man’s aunt and uncle......maybe his mama and his daddy sittin’ in the jury box.”

If it didn’t come out during voir dire that the victim’s parents were part of the jury pool, they hired the wrong lawyer.

BTW, has the Obama administration asked for a stay yet to Judge Roger Vinson's ruling? Or maybe they don't give enough of a poop to care because...

Obama Admin Ignores Ruling Against ObamaCare [Dallas Morning News]

" “The White House is treating the decision like it doesn’t apply to them, and are moving ahead,” said Americans for Limited Government (ALG) Counsel Nathan Mehrens. He pointed to a blog post by White House Adviser Stephanie Cutter where ominously she... "

I was just goofing around, I hope Obama care is stopped though, I think businesses are frozen until they figure out where this is going to come down. This means at least 5 to 10 more years of recession because that’s how long this is going to take to unwind, the passing of the bill destroyed small businesses for a decade to come.

[antiRepublicrat]

only Justice Clarence Thomas is a sure vote against ObamaCare, because "he alone has publicly and repeatedly stressed his principled disagreement with the whole line of post-1937 cases that interpret Congress's commerce power broadly."

Ain't that the truth. He's the only one currently on the court who dissented in Gonzales v. Raich.
