Hump Day

I had a great Hump Day...it was really long, classes are getting SUPER complicated! Who knew Patent law would be so complex :) Plus I revisited the ERIE Doctrine in my Federal Jurisdiction class...a little shout out to my law school friends, who the hell thought we would see this POS again!? When I saw Erie v. Pennsylvania Railway I almost fell off my chair. I thought I drank all that away after first semester finals last year!

BEYOND excited to watch the media paint Sarah Palin as the winner in the VP debate! No matter what happens, her bar is set so low my niece who is not yet ONE could pull herself over it.

Now, I have embedded this video from CBS news.....this is not some elitist, graduate educated, on track to get his doctorate, law school...blah blah blah. This is the facts of life. The fact that Sarah Palin could not name any other Supreme Court case but Roe v. Wade makes me want to PUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure anyone here has at least HEARD of the Brown v. Board of Education. The one that started the ball rolling to end state sponsored segregation. Obviously Palin wouldn't have mentioned this one because Couric asked her about a case that she disagreed with, and no one would disagree with this case...you would be a horrific bigot and racist to disagree with this case...oh, but what about one of the top five most famous cases PLESSY V. FERGUSON!! This was the DISGUSTING case that Brown v. Board overturned!!!
The fact that she would be a heart beat away from electing Supreme Court Justices and she couldn't pull Plessy out of her ass makes me want to cry!!!
Some Plessy info.... you should know this case if you are an American Citizen

HERE IS THE INTERVIEW..
side note: I don't agree with Biden's take on the Roe v. Wade though, he goes down the privacy route, I'm more of an Equal Protection, 14th Amendment, undue burden on the female Roe v. Wade guy... anyway...watch and learn....well... listen at least

OKAY, GO TO THIS LINK INSTEAD, PUTTING THE VIDEO IN THE BLOG DIDN'T WORK...
