Thomas' Take on the Law Rooted in 18th Century
The justice's historical perspective challenges many widely held beliefs about the Constitution.

Great read about Justice Clarence Thomas and his scary interpretation of the Constitution.

Just finished "Why Does the American Constitution Lack Social and Economic Guarantees?"

As I was reading, I'm thinking ... "I should go to law school" and then ... "holy crap, how many other rights are based on supreme court rulings that are going to swing another way soon?"

Jon Stewart's Commencement Address 

Jon Stewart's ('84) Commencement Address

"I was in New York on 9-11 when the towers came down. I lived 14 blocks from the twin towers. And when they came down, I thought that the world had ended. And I remember walking around in a daze for weeks. And Mayor Giuliani had said to the city, “You’ve got to get back to normal. We’ve got to show that things can change and get back to what they were.”

And one day I was coming out of my building, and on my stoop, was a man who was crouched over, and he appeared to be in deep thought. And as I got closer to him I realized, he was playing with himself. And that’s when I thought, “You know what, we’re gonna be OK.”
