What Professor Means said is, IMO, simply dumb.

But I'll try to put more thought into it than he apparently did before I respond.

I'm going to write something about this dreadful case. However, I will note that the only legal thought that has even addressed this case in any substantial fashion already occurred, on this site. Go back to Tes's original posts on this, as she may be the only person on the planet who really conside...

He should have taken that job at Amazon when he had the chance (and the stock is up 100% this year). The article didn't say what happens next.... Is there a trial? Since they're both misdemeanors there will probably be an arraignment and trial at the District Magistrate's office. The case has alrea...

But it's clear that our opinions are to be spit upon by the Snowden worshippers.This is my one and only response to this thread today, since this entire post is a personal attack on me, and quite uncivil.Is the phrase "Snowden worshippers" appropriate at all? Isn't that a personal insult? ...

Well, this is snowballing, and Kessler is now, officially, a laughingstock.But as we've seen with Arpaio, being a nutjob and a fool doesn't necessarily equate to losing an LE job.Piehole actually has a political base, though. Kessler appears to be some idiot in a tiny town. Maybe they're all crazy i...

I don't support the drug war, seriously or otherwise. But I'll point out that not being able to imagine something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure a lot of people DO support the drug war. I know some. And they are not jerks or idiots. We just disagree.Well, I will disagree with that. A...

At least half, and maybe a majority, of commenters on local news sites support Kessler, many of them ringingly endorsing both the substance and his style.What does the phrase "commenters on local news sites" actually generally mean? It generally means angry douchebags who have stupid opini...

What a horrific continuation of an absolute nightmare, Pat. I'm just so, so sorry for you, your friends, and everyone else who's feeling the pain. Please try to remember, as difficult as it must be, that there's a reason trials were established in the first place.So sorry about this horrible event, ...

O'Mara on zimmerman's 'rescue'“This is quintessential George. This is the person who I knew him to be when I found out about his past before February 12. Just a guy who’s always involved in the community, always willing to, you know, lend a helping hand," O'Mara told Cuomo, as part of a live in...

I gather, then, that you are just taking exception to JT8's sometimes overheated rhetoric?Because I can't imagine anyone seriously supporting the drug war at this point.

All men die.Socrates is a man.Therefore, Mario Apuzzo is a dumbfuck.

I'll donate to Orly's flight costs if she goes to confront Snowden in Sheremetyevo, but only on condition we get film of every minute. ;;)"OMFG, you think I'm a fucking BIRTHER, beyotch?" "Screeeeeeech! Screeeeeeech! Screeeeeeech! Screeeeeeech!""HELP!! GET HER AWAY FROM ME!!...

He is like a latter day William Jennings Bryan. Becoming increasingly politically irrelevant he tries to stay in the limelight by appealing to fringe groups of poorly-educated people motivated by religion. Pathetic.I'd disagree. Bryan, at least for part of his career, advanced some good populist goa...

I was just grateful that Weiner's ongoing problem interrupted the non-stop coverage of the privileged white baby boy in London. If I lived in NYC, I might choose to vote for him on that basis alone. Only.I'd vote for him for having a D next to his name. But I'd really rather have another Democratic ...

Well, he's right it was a really stupid thing to do, but personally? I wouldn't apologize for this. I'd gloat.

It might seem cynical, but in the realm of constitutional law, a heartbreaking case like this with plaintiffs in an utterly tragic situation is an absolute dream. Anyone with a human heart will look at this situation and having to choose between two alternatives, one of which is cruel and atrocious ...

In many jurisdictions, it is legally required.And if I set out to get arrested, I really wouldn't consider my goal accomplished if I weren't cuffed somehow.As vile as the North Carolina pugs are, it is apparently still a state with a hero like this, doing stuff like this at age 83.

Proxy wars always work out well.

It's pretty, but the UCLA box of spinning spindles and whirling wheels looks more like a differential analyzer, an analog device, not a digital one. Undoubtedly somebody will correct me if I am wrong.Babbage's Difference Engine is/was purely digital ("was" because he never built it, "...

This is partly the result of a powerful misunderstanding of the role of public universities that is shared by Republicans, Democrats, and others: the universities ought to be economic engines for their states, perhaps the economic engines. They ought to invent and attract industries and create high-...

I hate to reserve an opinion on this, because I generally trust both Conyers and Sanders, but I think legislation like this would benefit from establishing a select committee akin to the [/break1]wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee]Church Committee. Hasty overreactions and carelessly drafted legisla...

Is it your position that the war on drugs is what puts kids into poverty then?It is inarguable that the war on drugs vastly disproportionately targets blacks, especially black men, often for non-violent offenses, and disproportionately sentences them. When these are, and they often are, young father...

But Huma did a great impression of her mentor, Hillary Clinton,I think she needs to dump him. She is a woman of substance. He is a loser. Also reminds me of this joke stolen from somewhere. "Bill and Hillary are driving in Arkansas when they pass a gas station. Hillary says she once dated the a...

I believe a conviction on the "aiding the enemy" charge would be overturned. He is facing enough time on the other charges that, well, he'll have time to wait for the appeal on that one if he gets convicted on it.Personally, after the illegal conditions of his confinement, more properly de...
