Unused and Probably Unusable: On confirmation: in theory. 4th of July commentary.
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/07/on-confirmation-in-theory-4th-of-july.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Monday, July 04, 2005. On confirmation: in theory. 4th of July commentary. Hi, sports fans. I read in the NYT under Overview, an article titled "Senators Clash on Questioning a Court Nominee," By CARL HULSE. Published: July 4, 2005. [link not provided because hey, if it's not going to be freely available, why link to the NYT? The Senators are staking out their positions. Schumer says "All questions are legitimate." "What is your view on Roe v. Wade? The views of judges on ma...

Unused and Probably Unusable: Bootstrapping and law
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/06/bootstrapping-and-law.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Wednesday, June 15, 2005. My first guest post is up. At Evan Schaeffer's Legal Underground. There shall be no crossposting. Posting verbatim copies of a message in multiple places, without customising each copy to suit the audience or forum" - close paraphrase of wikipedia definition). A dirty business, that. Doubling up on electrons. Unpleasant. Immoral. I wonder what google traffic I might be accidentally inviting by using those adjectives? View my complete profile. Commen...

Unused and Probably Unusable: I change my mind: I think Rehnquist will jump
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/07/i-change-my-mind-i-think-rehnquist.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Friday, July 08, 2005. I change my mind: I think Rehnquist will jump. I commented recently that although "He may go today, he may go tomorrow, but I bet he'll wait until next week." From the buzz now online, I gather that my prediction, although well-founded, may be wrong. Drudge, Fox News, and Novak all agree: it's possible that maybe conceivably Chief Justice Rehnquist is announcing his retirement today, after Bush touches down upon his return from the G8 summit. With Drud...

http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/06/ninomania-this-isnt.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Monday, June 27, 2005. Hey there, sports fans. As a direct and proximate result of scanning the decisions in this past March's big Supreme Court decision on the ADEA (age discrimination in employment act) and whether it authorizes so-called 'disparate impact claims' (it does, but that didn't help the plaintiffs; their complaint was held not to state a claim for such disparate impact discrimination), I have come to a further conclusion:. Sided with the majority,. But in Smith...

Unused and Probably Unusable: Calling
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/07/calling-london-hello-we-love-you.html
Hello, we love you. Unused and Probably Unusable. Friday, July 08, 2005. Hello, we love you. That's a reference each to the Doors and the Clash, not in that order, and that's enough flippancy. In this time of tragedy, in the wake of the coordinated terrorist attack upon London's commuters (and residents and peace of mind), I can't do better than did Kip, Esq. Prime Minister Tony Blair, addressing Parliament, September 14, 2001. Side of the problem, this isn't enough. Attacks in London are not even "l...

Unused and Probably Unusable: Time to overrule
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/06/time-to-overrule-brown.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Monday, June 27, 2005. Time to overrule Brown. Brown should go. It was a huge decision, unfortunately watered down by the pathetic phrase in Brown II, "all deliberate speed," combined with the understandable but totally unacceptable campaign of massive resistance based in the South and grounded. End of digression. Brown. Time for it to go. Because it was decided poorly, that's why. Just as Roe v. Wade. And sex. Especially people who have. Look at the book "What Brown Should ...

Unused and Probably Unusable: Hot hot news: Return to Flight, and other ephemera

Unused and Probably Unusable. Wednesday, July 13, 2005. Hot hot news: Return to Flight, and other ephemera. What's happening Today, Right Now? Space Shuttle Discovery is in its scheduled 3 hour hold before launch; as Countdown 101. The mission after that, Columbia was lost. [update: I mean, the next time Columbia flew. Columbia's next and final mission was STS-107. She was lost upon reentry with all hands aboard, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space shuttle Columbia. Correction to the update: Man, I can't get.

Unused and Probably Unusable: Who's In, Who's Out, and Who's Down
http://unusedandunusable.blogspot.com/2005/07/whos-in-whos-out-and-whos-down.html
Unused and Probably Unusable. Tuesday, July 19, 2005. Who's In, Who's Out, and Who's Down. Let's start with the easy ones. Down: General William Westmoreland, 91, WW2 hero and commander of U.S. forces in Viet Nam, at a retirement home in Charleston, South Carolina. Also see: "Life begins at 8:30"; "Life Begins at 50"; etc.). Also Out: Larry Brown, sometime coach of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team, may be done in Detroit as the Pistons "appear" to have finalized deals for his departure from the team.

Unused and Probably Unusable. Friday, July 22, 2005. WOTD: Esquire. Also: Fn. 4. In honor of all my friends who are pre-Bar (but about to take it), post-Bar (yay, we made it), and pre-Law (man, are you in for it), we present the Word of the Day:. Not the magazine. Although that's an interesting point you make, indeed it is. Here's my favorite discussion of the word I've yet seen, over at JD Jive. Not that there's a governing body that regulates. Google search for Unauthorized Practice of Law). My informa...

Unused and Probably Unusable. Thursday, August 04, 2005. Later-than-last post:) I win! Also, Powerblogs is the new place. A big thank you to Howard Bashman for choosing my entry in his contest to find the dumbest possible question to ask nominee Roberts at his confirmation hearings. I'm a winner! Depending on how you look at it! A reminder that my new blog address is still http:/ unusedandunusable.powerblogs.com. Howard's contest winner announcement is here. And my victory speech is here.
