Indeed, as Spanky has established, Foley may be a pederast, but there is no evidence he is a pedophile.

**I missed the beginning of the interview, but had been listening for a bit, and this was the point where I said to myself, yup, that is definitely John Yu.

John Yoo. He teaches at a pinko commie leftist university, so he's clearly one of ours.

We all owe a big "thank you" to Denny Hastert and the Republican congressional leadership for giving us this opportunity to get these nuances right.

What surprises me is that the guy runs the House for Little Swindlers and this is what looks like it will do him in. He should have been gone with DeLay.

Yes, I know. Probably the only sane person at Berkeley.
Although my GF says he was a dick as a Professor. |

I can't imagine having a torture advocate as a law school professor.

What right in the constitution isn't subject to some form of balancing, that is it's not a right when it becomes "too expensive"?

First Amendment, anyone?

The court dismissed the charge pretty quickly. I'm trying to figure out how this differs significantly from the thousands of "wrongful" arrests each week.

The Third Amendment.
eta: Few constitutional rights have anything to do with CBA in the generic sense. It's true that the First Amendment, e.g., does not give one the right to make threats, and one could conceptualize this as reflecting some sort of determination that the harms of threats outweigh the benefits. But using the word "expensive" in this broader sense is pretty close to meaningless.

The prosecutors dismissed the charges:
- The lawsuit states that the Secret Service agent instructed that Howards should be issued a summons for harassment, but that on July 6 the Eagle County District Attorney's Office dismissed all charges against Howards.

If the facts are as alleged, it seems patent that the only reason the guy was arrested is that he told Cheney that his policies in Iraq were reprehensible. If this is happening thousands of times a week, that's a disturbing development.
