I hope everyone likes the new theme/layout/colors; I do!
Apologies for the lack of updates today, but I’ve been Interwebs incompetent today. Nothing working, anywhere. My Internet in the condo is on the fritz. The Starbucks Internet is down. I’m currently on “borrowed” Internet from someone who lives near the Starbucks.
Justice Souter is by far my favorite sitting justice, so I look at his retirement with some sadness. I have been a great fan of his since I did my paper on him in a Women and the Law class at American University back in 1997. With the exception of his vote in FAIR v. Rumsfeld, I cannot, offhand, come up with a recent decision of his with which I readily disagree.
Over the weekend, I plan to do some re-reading of Justice Souter’s most notable cases, as well as doing some research into possible replacements.
Also, I’ll be seeing Eric Himan perform tonight! Check him out!
Have a great Friday, all!
