First, no good lawyer I know brags about kicking courtroom ass. Speaking of professionalism, that alone exposes you as an insecure Walter Mitty type. Second, no good lawyer I know spends time and energy "winning" legal arguments on the internet. Don't get enough engagement at "work?" (snicker) More on the law later... Third, no good lawyer flees a good practice for a cubicle in a state agency because... his wife is a cop? Sounds legit. Fourth, no good lawyer I know would try to spin "free State" as a state of mind. Good lord.
And yet here you are, still spending energy defending your shitty work ethic and attacking me. Still. I have for years, and in this thread, engaged the overwhelming conservative numbers on this board with keen insight and a sharp quill. How many people are on my ass in this thread, 6? Still not enough. Medic, as usual if he's actually engaged, quickly was pinned. You weighed in to try and rescue medic, were a dick, and were immediately busted for doing the state employee thing, and fretted I may turn you in to your boss. (So what agency do you work in, if you have nothing to worry about and loafing is expected?) Then, Mega weighs in to defend your lazy, don't-tell-my-boss-but-it's-really-okay position. Mega felt compelled to defend you, the weak calf, from getting dragged into the bushes.
Here's where I knew you were full of shit: you were offended at me calling the SA anachronistic. I can not think of a more relevant, fair, germane point to make when discussing a 1791 law. Even if you disagree, it's not a point that a reasonable lawyer would find offensive. It shouldn't surprise or offend that someone disagrees on the proper way to interpret the constitution or not focus on original intent. I don't care about the federalist papers and original intent. The way to beat someone that declines to acknowledge original intent as determinative is to make points about why it should be -- not quibble over what the original intent was. Even Scalia didn't care about the federalist papers and extraneous sources. Posner doesn't care about them, or original intent. Larry Tribe doesn't. (Posner's stuff is a great primer and very articulately lays out the reasoning why original intent should be irrelevant. You should know this and not be offended by it.) I'm not going to brief the issue, but if you really want to engage and can emotionally handle the disagreement then read Posner's stuff on original intent.
Enjoy your "work" day. I see yesterday you quit posting during work hours - for once, a smart move. That alone qualifies as a "win" for the taxpayers, and I should be congratulated for shaming you into working instead of loafing. Let's see if you can make it two days in a row.
