Richard Posner seems to get stupider every day

[eric dorkin]

Principled thought does not matter nowl, nor did it
matter for resolving Bush v. Gore.  Why? Because the
principles urge a course of action different from that
demanded by raw political expediency.  

It is not that he is "stupider," just that he has no
shame.

Moreover, it appears that strict constructionism has
less value to us now that the President wants to
declare war.  You see, the Constitution is a
wonderfuul living document . . . . .
