Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it.

LOLLLL

Hey Law Students! Follow illegalities!

LTMC: .1% of the world gets this joke.  I am ashamed to say that I am not only part of that .1%, but was wracked verily with hearty guffaws.  

We. Are. The point one percent!
Apparently as a matter of English feudal tradition, following the ”livery of seisin” ceremony the children of the grantor / grantee were beaten to ensure that they would remember the occasion.
ENGLAND! FUCK YEAH!

    squashed replied to your post: Personal Notes: On Reading Cases
    And when it’s a Thomas opinion, I close the book. Because Thomas’s opinions are written terribly. Scalia was at least witty.
    Thomas is horrible 99% of the time. But he is actually fairly lucid when he’s writing…

    I’m not going to address Affirmative Action on the whole as theory or practice but I am sympathetic to your unease in finding yourself nodding along to Justice Thomas. I had the similar and unfortunate experience last week while reviewing my Con Law readings. His Grutter dissent is actually a stirring revival of the important and beautiful colorblind interpretation the Equal Protection Clause as well as a reality check on how lax the Court can be with the second prong of the Strict Scrutiny inquiry. I admit, I felt fairly strange telling a friend after class that I was both the President of my law school’s ACLU and (temporarily) in agreeance with Justice Thomas.

    Shudder.

    Thankfully this sympathy for the (originalist) devil(s) didn’t last too long. This morning I draw caricatures of Scalia sobbing like a baby in the margins of his particularly histrionic United States v. Virginia (1996) dissent.       D:    < Scalia

    Anywho, relevant news is relevant: New York Times - Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Affirmative Action Case

Going to go for a run and try to rinse the taste of stupid left in my brain from reading this earlier.
Can&#8217;t wait to visit NYC this weekend.
It&#8217;s going to be lovely.

  6. I anxiously waited until I got home to check them.

    Took a double shot of Noah’s Mill bourbon as I clicked to open them.

    Sigh.

    With grades, like the dentist, I really am a baby.
