I once made fun of Christine Hurt over at Conglomerate for her late night Saturday Bluebooking.
Now, here it is, 11:40PM on a Saturday night and I’m just taking a break from the draft of my write-on case note.
*sigh*
Wise Up, Suckers
I once made fun of Christine Hurt over at Conglomerate for her late night Saturday Bluebooking.
Now, here it is, 11:40PM on a Saturday night and I’m just taking a break from the draft of my write-on case note.
*sigh*
I should be working on my submission for the write-on competition. Well, I was working on my case note, but I took a break and Ray pointed me to a George Orwell site, causing a significant detour.
Orwell is one of my favorite writers and, I believe, the greatest essayist I’ve ever read. (Well, Mencken and Twain do rank up there–can you tell I like a smart ass?)
Anyway, have you read, “Politics and the English Language“? You should.
Remember that pledge by some radicals to “reign in judicial activism”? Well, here comes the “Congressional Accountability for Judicial Activism Act of 2005”. (a.k.a. H.R. 3073)
Make no mistake this bill would give Congress the power to overturn decisions of the Supreme Court. Yes, I swear, you can’t make this shit up. And the bill already has fifteen co-sponsors! If you live in one of their districts, you should definitely place a call or write a letter to let them know that you, um, still believe in the Constitution and checks on power!
Ernie equates this bill to legislative “spam”. I’m more in line with Terry who says, “In my humble opinion, this is not just a bad bill. It’s immoral, unethical and down right terrifying.”
