I hear Mike Espy is available.

your real name is Rajiv? or maybe it's your pen name? or don't you understand what is meant by "personal knowledge?"

Alito and Roberts look frighteningly young and healthy. Plus, given where things stand now, it will probably only take about ten years of litigation to roll the regulatory environment back to 1925, which is where people seem to want it.

But I am looking forward to reading some more inspiring dissents, which admiring schoolchildren will no doubt read in 2075 (if mankind is still alive).

Gotta love a Zager and Evans reference. Weed rawks!

And as for the regulatory environment, where is spanky to reassure us about the benefits of free trade untrammeled by concerns over safety issues? I hope he didn't brush his teeth with the fake Colgate toothpaste imported from China.

Using that standard, I don't have "personal knowledge" that the US invaded Iraq or even that George W. Bush is President. But please, let's have a theory of knowledge debate. Those are always fun, and a good way for you to avoid talking about this disastrous administration.

I certainly am not going to pretend that Dems will not have their own patronage issues. But not like the last six years.

And Mike Espy was acquitted on all charges.

If so, it could explain the dearth of Spanky postings:

"The New York Times reported Thursday that about 900,000 tubes of tainted Chinese toothpaste were more widely distributed in the United States than previously thought, turning up in correctional facilities, mental institutions and some hospitals."

And had (has?) a copy of the acquittal order on the wall of his office, framed with a courtroom sketch of him and an independent prosecutor watch(!).

well, Bubba picked a copyright attorney with no Patent experience to run the Patent Office. it seemed the only real reason was he liked male genitals, and billy needed to point to a few appointments of gays.

Presumably, this guy had at least an inkling of what intellectual property was. This comparison would have more legs if earlier complaints were that Arabian horse lawyer Brownie got appointed to head a government department of Clydesdales instead of FEMA.
