George Mason University School of Law is considered "conservative," at least by law school standards. So when CAIR played the Islamophobe card and demanded that the school shut down a speech by Nonie Darwish , Dean Daniel Polsby said no thanks to CAIR's attempt to squelch dissenting voices: It appears...
Several nights ago, I found myself arguing with a hyperpriviledged, self-identified anarcho-socialist (don't ask me how that works) about the MSA 11. He and his friends believed them to have been convicted by a racist Orange County jury, under unconstitutional laws. As we were discussing the...

Professor Jacobson and Andrew Breitbart's recent coverage of anti-Semitic incidents at the Occupy Wall Street protests were no surprise to me.

I'll be watching the Massachusetts Senate Democratic Debate tonight at 7 p.m. because it will be the first appearance of Elizabeth Warren. I haven't decided what to do in the race, despite the overwhelming reader vote to support Brown, but I'll be listening. The debate will...
I haven't covered this scandal in a while, so here is a roundup of where this story has been going. Who knows, it might even get serious enough that the MSM will take a break from looking under rocks in middle-of-nowhere-Texas for dirt on Republicans...
The NY Times Dealbook section takes a very sympathetic look at the Occupy Wall Street protests, On Wall Street, a Protest Matures. The article leads with a feature on Andrew Cole, who arrived from Madison, Wisconsin (shock!) where he recently lost a job: “I think a good deal...
