A more obscure Supreme Court case, but one of my sentimental favorites because of the way Rex Lee presented it, was Wickard v. Filburn, a commerce clause case in which a farmer with a very small farm was prosecuted under an agricultural controls act. He planted a couple of extra acres of corn or wheat for his own use, but the Court ruled he was subject to the act because if he hadn't grown his own grain, he would have bought it in the open marked and thus affected interstate commerce. Please don't Wikipedia this case and tell me I'm way off, as I'd like to think I learned something from Rex, and my clients don't give a crap. |

The amusing thing is, I'm not even a lawyer, Allah be praised.

A sycophant perhaps?

Do they still read the same Constitution, or is there a Dummy's version for the Internet age?

If I were Couric, and Palin claimed to know Roe v Wade, I would have followed up with the name "Norma McCorvey." Palin's head would have exploded. $1000 bucks says she actually knows little of Roe v Wade.
