On what day of the term was Brown v. Board of Education released? This would […]
Why Courting Americans with the Court Won’t Work for Democrats
2 Comments Published by Kedar July 18th, 2007 in Blogosphere, Judicial Activism, 2008 Congressional Elections, Presidential Election 2008, Politics, Current Events, Supreme Court, Constitutional LawA lot of pundits have been calling for the democrats to make the Court a major campaign issue in light of the massive setback that is known as the 2006 Term.

If I Hear One More Word About Clarence Thomas And Originalism…
3 Comments Published by Kedar July 12th, 2007 in Blogosphere, Republicans, Blogs, Judicial Activism, Civil Rights, History, Equal Rights, Supreme Court, Politics, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Constitutional LawI am going absolutely crazy with all the talk of Clarence Thomas and his total perversion of originalism. I’m not one to rant, but this is the closest I will ever come to declaring an absolute- Originalism is NEVER appropriate. Thats right, there is never an instance where it is appropriate to take our noses […]
Polling’s Point?

Candidate Profile: Hillary Clinton
1 Comment Published by Kedar July 7th, 2007 in 2008 Candidate Profiles, Hillary Clinton, Blogosphere, Presidential Election 2008, DemocratsHillary Clinton has been in the national spotlight since 1992, longer than any of her opponents for the Oval Office.

Methodology 101
0 Comments Published by Kedar July 1st, 2007 in Blogs, Stephen Breyer, Blogosphere, Court Procedure, Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas, Constitutional LawSources all of the ‘net have been citing the number of 5-4 cases as ‘24.’ The problem with that, however, is that only 21 cases were decided on a 5-4 vote.

Turns out Dallas didn’t quite agree with me on the Oakley issue. Oh well. The folks over at Turtle Creek Democrats liked my endorsement, though, and that makes the staff here at DailyWrit (and by staff, I mean […]
I Hope ObamaGirl Goes To Church
3 Comments Published by Kedar June 25th, 2007 in Blogosphere, Barack Obama, Religion, Madness (Sparta?)I tried for quite some time to ignore the comments that Senator Obama made recently about religion and how it is being ‘hijacked’ to ‘drive us apart’.
