Baudewatch:
the comments at the washington post aren't working for me tonight.
"Unable to retrieve Canvas config from the storage".
Baude has a post on the recent noel canning case.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/06/29/responses-to-my-noel-canning-piece/

I was going to comment something to the effect that Scalia's argument in Noel Canning is backwards from what he argued dissenting in McIntyre v Ohio. In McIntyre, he argued for a living constitution, where rights expire if not used by the best-by date. This is the opposite of what he is usually known for.

Criminal conversation, like the Holy Roman Empire, is neither. 
- Eugene Volokh, writing about a north carolina decision finding adultery statute unconstitutional. That reminds of me of when Earl Grey was lord privy seal, "not a lord, not a privy, and not a seal."

http://vark.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-really-liked-some-atomic-kitten-of.html

some of the links in this post have expired so this is a note to self to redo it.
that was my post collecting versions of "the tide is high" which i first knew as a blondie song.
as i creep toward 100,000 hits i might pull out a few of my favorite posts from the past ten years of doing this pointless unpopular blog, which i keep doing just for myself. currently at about 99,500. what it lacks in audience it makes up in stability - i've had blogs that got 200,000 hits a month but vanished in a few months,
but blogger keeps working.

my computer had been saying "please wait...." for 3 days so it's in the shop and i'm on a $75 dinosaur of a laptop running windows xp, some sort of pentium thinkpad from 10ish years ago.
at least i'm back online kind of.
loading chrome took ages, but i was able to catch up at electionlawblog.com and questionablecontent,
so it'll do.
