Since paperwight argues convincingly that the Dayton Amendment would not have pre-empted tougher state laws, I think the Democratic Senators who voted against should be called out and held to.
This Phoebe Maltz post (via Yglesias) raises some interesting issues. But more than anything, it reinforces my belief that "gentrification" is, at least as a normative concept, entirely worthless. (And, at.
To return to a discussion of a couple of weeks ago, this is pretty cool. Obviously, tonight's double feature is a no-brainer, and ditto Treasure of the Sierra Madre (which I prefer to The Searchers), but I've actually only seen a fraction of the remaining films. So, what should...

In the comments to my post about the recent California prison segregation case, Mark Kleiman notes that my focus on Thomas and Scalia's misadventures in doctrinal bad faith sidestep the important.
