A brief followup to a recent post about the Supreme Court and college football, Justice Thomas visited the University of Georgia football team
after practice last week. What impact did Justice Thomas' pep talk have? Well, the highly touted Bulldogs lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide
(w00t, Brandeis). Even in college football, Justice Thomas finds himself writing in dissent...

... now, kids. I've had a few thoughts about Thomas' character over the years. I've chaffed at his justifications for building his
jurisprudence around a single sentence stripped out of context from Justice Harlan's dissent in Plessy. Along with the rest ... about ten

... Foxtrot? Justice Souter is unwilling to say definitevly that the Establishment Clause means...something. This is a truly troubling statement. It is as if Justice Thomas has hacked into Souter's computer and published a fradulent opinion in Souter's name. Because if Souter endorses that view, his First Amendment views
are identical to Thomas'. GULP! Finally, you want some irony? Summum's lawyers made Jay Sekulow-style arguments concerning public forum
jurisprudence ...

... describes the case name as "unusual." No, my friends, that is a profound understatement. "Unusual" describes the few cases where Scalia and Thomas vote on opposite sides (last I checked that was only 15%). Case names like these are as rare and as wacky as when Justice Thomas actually asks a question from the Bench (2007 Term: 0 occurances). As with most of these cases with bizarre names, the actual case is substantially
more boring, as is evidenced by ...

Supremes will be discussing foreskins in an oral argument...I can't even write that with a straight face. BTW this father is a serious douche-bag. He refuses to call his son by ...

/**/ ...to yesterday's post. From the WSJ Law Blog: The Scalia Roadshow continued yesterday when Nino took questions from a group of really smart students from Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. To queries about his youth, Scalia said that, while a student at Xavier High School in Manhattan, he
played the French horn, was on the junior varsity rifle team, and played Macbeth in a high school play, terming his mastery of Shakespeare's tragedy "significant." Well this brings a

... Tube clip of Dylan singing the song in 1966 shows him using the word ain't (at the 5:50 mark): So why was the lyric cited incorrectly? Probably because on Dylan's own website lists
the lyric without the word "ain't." So anyone who thinks that determining the framer's intent is easy, think again. Bob Dylan is the ONLY framer for this song, and even HE is saying
contradictory things. So to summarize this post...Scalia can bite me. Thomas too...actually I'm afraid either one might give me rabies.

Guess who said the following: "If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children." No it's not Clarence Thomas...or Bob Packwood...or
Bill Clinton...or Mark Foley. The answer is a Russian judge in sexual harassment ruling. And that isn't the shocking part. Do you know how many women have prevailed in sexual harassment
suits in Russia? Two. In Russia's history. That's equivalent to the number of middle fingers I have. Plus in a recent survey, 100 percent of female professionals said they ...

... had no idea. They either did not have an answer to the question or could not name a justice. On the silver lining front, the figure was 68 percent when the question was asked six
years ago. The "winner" in the poll, conducted last week, was Justice Clarence Thomas, perhaps the court's best-known and most controversial
member. But he shared the top spot (11 percent) with -- drumroll -- Sandra Day O'Connor, who left the court in 2006. When a 50% ignorance rate is considered "good news" our ...
