I cannot managed to believe this story is really real. I’m just gobsmacked. What’s next? Bernie Madoff for Fed Chairman? Cindy Sheehan for SecDef?

The only good part is that this is a clear, upfront statement that this commission has no credibility.

Great piece — funny, edgy, unanswerable. You’re sounding more like the Treacher of old. I hope that means you’re feeling better.

Most people normally don’t know what they are entitled to as a matter of first principles, so they make that judgment based on what their peers appear to receive.

Ah, a preference for measurement over theory. Proves “most people” are a bit smarter in a practical sense than quite a lot of their more educated peers, who do indeed deduce from “first principles” (the Bible? Talmud? US Constitution? Nostradamus? Psilocybin hallucinations?) to what they (or everyone!) is entitled, and proceed straight off the cliff into unworkable hyperideological fantasyland.

God save us from those fond of deducing things from first principles, like medieval monks bent over Scripture in their cells, deducing from the first principles laid out therein whether the Earth went around the Sun or vice versa. ... See all content Hide content

Can someone tell me how the tutorial is to be followed? I downloaded the files from the plus site. I did not see any step x step tutorial, just the end files and a ton of images that did show steps but how is one to use those images, is there a viewer or procedure?

“Better than Nothing!”

-CNN’s Candy Crowley spins madly. She should do ads for Maytag.

Yeah. What did she imagine that “nothing” would look like, if not like this?

If you have to say it’s meaningful, you can be sure that it isn’t.

Excellent work. This is the best possible outcome from Copenhagen that the most optimistic could have asked for. I’d love to see the health care debacle turn in to a “meaningful” and nonbinding resolution.

Brilliant. I’m on part 3. At this rate, I’ll watch it all. After the woman in the basement, how could you not?

Since this is a public censure, I’m curious whether defendants before this guy could use it as a reason to have him removed, or strengthen their cases on appeal.

Say, some fellow is charged with a using-drug crime, and there are some Fourth Amendments questions about whether the evidence was collected constitutionally. Could the defendant’s lawyer introduce this public censure as a good reason to have the case removed from this judge? Could he use it afterwards, on appeal, along with whatever he can scare up from the trial record, e.g. intemperate or contemptuous language (“The damned druggies are destroying America!”) to argue the defendant didn’t receive his Fifth Amendment rights to a fair trial? ...
