This KSM trial thing looks to be endlessly fascinating. Everyone has questions about it. Maguire noted the difficulty of seating an impartial jury. How about seating a jury of their peers? My 13-year-old came up with that one. How are you going to find 12 cave-dwelling Islamic extremists good and true in New York? No cab driver jokes please. Those [...]

It’s coming from Obama, so you know it’s good. It’s a PC-approved position, loaded with wholesome well-intentionedness. MSNBC:
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama called criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor “nonsense” Friday, telling NBC News that while Sotomayor would probably rephrase her eight-year-old comments on race, she would be “a good judge.”

That’s what the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus called her, a little weirdly (So what’s that make Obama … JFK with rhythm?). But I’ve been thinking. All this squawking about her racist remarks, so dismissive of white males, and her odd opinion-free affirmative action ruling, concerns about her 2nd amendment stance, property rights, rampant greenism and all that.

I don’t have much to say about Sotomayor at this point except that I’m looking forward to the hearings, Supreme Court nomination hearings being one of the bloodier American political gladiator events. Chinks in her armor include some disturbing decisions, such as the New Haven affirmative action ruling, though the reporting generally suggests she has more that are [...]

Great news for social commentators. In New York, you’re free to harass, mock and humiliate citizens at random, chase them with threats of unwanted physical contact, and make money off it, as long as it vaguely resembles social commentary. Anti-American commentary in this case.* Idiot judge tosses Borat lawsuit:
