One of the adages that I often use as I make an effort to play well with others is: "Don't assume malice when stupidity will explain something." Case in point.

Despite what the mainstream media and America-hating zealots have been peddling for the past few years, Saddam Hussein was a terror supporter, and we're not just talking about his checks to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. The Weekly Standard's Stephen Hayes has been badgering the Bush administration (something he shouldn't have had to do) […]

If you haven't seen it yet, you should read this piece over at National Review on what Sen. Chuck "Credit Report" Schumer has to say about under what circumstances nominees to the Supreme Court have to answer more question. If you guessed that Republican nominees have to answer more than Democrats, you're right!

I caught Georgetown Law Professor Jonathan Turley on Fox News last night and it reminded me of something that I'd meant to write about a couple of weeks ago. When the New York Times broke the NSA surveillance story, Turley went on some Fox News program -- I don't remember which one -- and offered […]

Johnson makes the case that Times reporters, editors and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., violated federal law in publishing the story and could be prosecuted. Is the New York Times a law […]

Judge Edward Cashman is a despicable human being who should be removed from the bench and publicly shunned. There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out a 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many,many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven. The judge said he […]

Over at Little Green Footballs they're holding final voting for 2005's Idiotarian of the Year Award. The finalists are Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, The New York Times and Cindy Sheehan. My vote will be going to the country's most disappointing newspaper.

I just wanted to alert any University of Virginia Law School students that you're not getting the best return on your educational dollar -- especially if you're taking Prof. Rosa Brooks constitutional law class.
