The Oratorical Snob: 01.2008
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. 2008 General Assembly Series: SJR7 and the Waste of Tax Dollars. Anyone that has read my post. I applauded last year when the bill died in the House. But the bill has again passed. The arguments for this ban are same arguments we heard for decades regarding interracial marriage. Anti-miscegenation laws were in place since the beginnings of this nation, often appearing in state Constitutions. Loving v. Virginia. I ten...

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. Progressive Tax, Progressive Problems. But I digress. My post today isn’t about the financial wisdom of the bailout bill. It’s about our system of taxes. I, of course, truly morally oppose income taxation. But for the sake of discussion, I won’t propose abolishing the income tax at all. I’m just going to propose a way to achieve our stated goals. Lawmakers often talk of “eliminating the marriage penalty”&...The truth...

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. IU Law Tuition. this better be worth it. Well, it was bound to happen. We got an e-mail from the dean alerting us that tuition would be going up a bit this year, despite the $25 million gift that we recieved from Lilly. More money for professors, in turn leaving us with more money for scholarships. But scholarships for next year's class, not for me. So I don't care. Links to this post. It's that time of the year in 1...

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. The Real Reason for Number Two. The past few days have given the blogosphere much to talk about in regards to the Supreme Court, and in due time I plan to get to the ones I care about. The one that I care the most about,. Is the main focus of this post. The British government couldn't help but notice those pesky colonists arming their militias while talking about how much they disliked the Crown. Parliament sough...

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. Election 2008: Texas Turns. Yellow? As some will know, I am a pretty big supporter of third-party rights in this country, believing that both of the two major parties are in need of some serious revision. So I was delighted to hear about a suit filed in Texas. By Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr, contesting the presence of John McCain and Barack Obama on the ballots in November. Supreme Court justices should reco...

The Oratorical Snob: Thoughts on Election Day 2008
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008/11/thoughts-on-election-day-2008.html
The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. Thoughts on Election Day 2008. This is what is wrong with American voting mentally today. It doesn't matter if she blindlessly supports Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, or anyone else. The problem is that she isn't taking the time to think anything out. She's ignoring public questions. She's ignoring the judiciary. All she cares about is putting her party into office. That is stupid voting. Namby Pamby, J.D.

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. The Law School has become a petri dish. Dozens of students have been out sick (including this one). Classes have shrunk to half their size. Some professors have been calling in sick. I had forgotten how volatile biological systems can be when you pack 700 of us into one building during flu season.

The Oratorical Snob: Come on, Allen County!
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008/07/come-on-allen-county.html
The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. Come on, Allen County! What is going on in Allen County's courts? This week we got news. Well, today's News-Sentinel. I have to wonder what the voters in Allen County think about all this. Fort Wayne is one of the busiest court systems in Indiana, and they really can't afford to lose their Circuit judge and one of their Superior judges. Further, what were these judges thinking?

The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. In re Marriage Cases. A friend asked me today what I thought about the result in the recent California Supreme Court decision. Overturning the same-sex marriage ban in that state. That if they wanted gay marriage, then they would have to take it to the state Supreme Court). So "the will of the people" here seems a bit cloudy. Links to this post. I spent this weekend in Louisville, Kentucky, for the 11th Annual Nation...
