Requiem aeternam, Angel Diaz - a Good Friday for Advent. The French social critic Albert Camus reportedly said, "The unbeliever cannot keep from thinking that men who have set at the center of their faith the staggering victim of a judicial error ought at least to hesitate before committing legal murder.". Jesus Christ, betrayed by a friend ...

Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Saturday, June 30, 2007. PICS v. SSD - Outlines. I have decided to post this piecemeal. The Roberts, Thomas, Kennedy, and Stevens outlines are posted. I'm starting to read the Breyer. Assign to the school attended by an older sibling. If, and only if, the school is not within 15% of the district's demographics, look to student's race (white or nonwhite) to ensure school...

Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Saturday, March 17, 2007. Anti-War Protests (Or Events I am Not Attending). Throughout the nation (indeed, the world) this weekend, people are taking to the streets to protest the "Iraq War." And already, we have identified the problem. I am sorry to announce that there is no war in Iraq. There is an occupation. But not a war. This is not a new development. Such a solut...

Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Wednesday, May 09, 2007. A Smoldering Republic (or "The Case against Secularism"). We've been having an interesting back-and-forth since Pope Benedict remarked that he approved of local bishops denying communion to public officials and lawmakers around the world who supported legalized abortion. If this is true, certainly it falls outside of human authority to denying a...

A CiviL Union: In This Together - Washington
http://acivilunion.blogspot.com/2009/05/in-this-together-washington.html
Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Tuesday, May 05, 2009. In This Together - Washington. Every so often, one has a big idea. And it is in precisely those moments that I'm thankful to have a defunct blog where I can put the idea "out there" for ever-so-gradual input and building/abandoning (as appropriate). But this certificate isn't just a piece of paper! No, this is where it gets good. We enlist bus...

A CiviL Union: January 2007

Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Tuesday, January 30, 2007. So I have a question. At the moment, questions are out of vogue and opinions are in (in that respect, all the elections changed were that there is suddenly more than one opinion). My question concerns Iraq. It concerns the 'Surge.' It also concerns criticism of the 'Surge.' My question is, what about the Iraqi people? How do we do that? I admi...

Progressive commentary on contemporary society from an agnostic (heathen) law student and a Christian (delusional) anthropology student. Thursday, April 26, 2007. Congress and the PBAA. Before going any further, it's important to understand what this act does and does not do. This act does not prohibit abortions based on the term or stage of the pregnancy during which they are performed (the Supreme Court decision seems to allow. And this brings us to the question of whether this procedure is ever "medic...
