Your Humble Blogger has been chiming in to an interesting discussion on Lorem Ipsum about the Supreme Court CIPA case, and took a look at yesterday’s slip opinions. There were 5 cases, and 24 opinions filed, including decisions, concurring opinions,…
Does anybody remember the year 2002? The reason I ask is that, as I’m looking at the Democratic Presidential Candidates, I looked at the Liberal/Conservative indices from the Congressional Observer for Senators, and for some reason all four of the…
