The Oratorical Snob: 02.2009
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
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 Oratorical Snob: More on: The Real Reason for Number Two
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008/07/more-on-real-reason-for-number-two.html
The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. More on: The Real Reason for Number Two. Kyle Michael at KMitB. Was kind enough to post a response to my previous post praising the. Decision. Always in the mood for a good discussion, I want to respond to his response. Or, for that matter, why should you be allowed to use a gun to defend yourself against any threat other than an “oppressive government” or an invasion? Presumably, Michael is making the ill-fated gram...

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? Links to this post. You may have notice...

The Oratorical Snob: 03.2008
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
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 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.

http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
The rhetorical ramblings of a student at Indiana University School of Law - Bloomington. It's probably clichéd to make a blog of all the things you're thankful for on Thanksgiving, so I won't do that. I think most of that stuff speaks for itself. I do want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving, and give best of luck to all of my law school comrades who have only a couple weeks left until finals. Until then, have a happy Thanksgiving break. Links to this post. Thoughts on Election Day 2008. I propose that...

The Oratorical Snob: In re Marriage Cases
http://oratoricalsnob.blogspot.com/2008/05/in-re-marriage-cases.html
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. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
