Congress is specifically given the authority to limit the Supreme Court’s appellate jurisdiction. (Art. III, §2, clause 2) Get to it folks.

The inability to engage in a civil argument has metastasized. I recently told a board committee that I disagreed with a proposal and would not vote for it. I didn’t say the idea was stupid. I just said I thought it was bad for the organization. I was accused of being disrespectful. Meeting over.

If I remember my lessons from long ago, the oldest university in Europe (Bologna) was founded by students. Who invented administrators and why do they do anything other than facility maintenance?

Porter, do not in any circumstances talk to the cops. You have the right to remain silent. Please do so.

I thought that sounded like a Calabresi stew. Looked it up and sure enough it was.

I am always amazed at the blasphemous presumption of judges, preachers and politicians who claim to speak for God.

Birch Society had a touring presentation called “Communism on the Map.” It showed up at my Catholic high school. there was supposed to be Q&A at the end. I had prepared questions for the presenter designed to show that most of what he said was paranoid BS. I got kicked out of school that day.

True story, we got married by a judge friend at the SF Hall of Justice on a break in a murder trial. There were guys in orange jump suits and leg irons shuffling down the hall as we were going in to the judge’s chambers.

You’d think that Elon would have learned that there are a lot of ignorant congress critters and that non-citizens cannot vote. But I guess not.

A very competitive sailor I knew just quit racing. He said the pain of coming in second was so much greater than the pleasure of winning, that it just wasn’t worth it. (I have always thought that any day in a sailboat was a good day.)
