I wasn't aware that there were people who were generally against amending the Constitution out of reverence for the Founding Fathers. Given that the Constitution provides a procedure for its amendment, that seems kind of nonsensical. Can you point to any adherents of this warped philosophy?

He did it again!

Do doctors charge more for bigger implants? I would think this could cut into revenues by reducing repeat business.

Notre Dame self-insures.

I think I get it. You consider the word "permits" to mean "affirmatively authorizes." You object to using it in place of the phrase "does not prohibit." Fair enough.

It seems to me that the Founding Fathers cared more about the structural protections that they designed to preserve liberty than they did about the Bill of Rights. And chief among those structural protections is the idea that the federal government should possess only limited and enumerated powers. Unlike the states,…

When I said "yes" I was answering the question "can you be arrested for violating a leash law?" The question actually asked was "how can you be arrested for violating a leash law?" So, sorry about my phrasing. However, I think Atwater stands for the proposition that you can be arrested for violating a leash law.…

I think you mean nonpartisan but I agree that it at least gives us something to think about.

"Did you even bother to look into this."

Also it's a little obnoxious to throw in the "thanks for law lesson" gibe. I think the article gets it wrong and I explained my reasons. That's what Jezebel commenters are supposed to do. I don't think I explained any more of the law than necessary to make my point about the problems with the article. So, yeah. And no…

Why should I assume anything of the sort when the authors that Jezebel tends to employ can't state the facts correctly? After reading such a misleading account and knowing that the SCOTUS also hears cases involving non-constitutional issues, I know I had to think for a second before reaching the conclusion that the…

Yes, the U.S. Constitution permits it. Atwater v. Lago Vista, 532 U.S. 318 (2001). Check it out!

5-4 rulings don't chip away at the Court's credibility. It is no secret that there is no authoritative mode of constitutional interpretation. I'm fine with 5-4 rulings as long as the individual justices keep consistent with their own methodologies from case to case. Credibility suffers when they start picking and…

Honestly, you are being put in a place where you have to shit, piss and bathe in front of a bunch of strangers. I'd take a c.o. peeking between my cheeks in place of those other indignities any day.

Erin Gloria Ryan has mischaracterized the holding by writing: "the justices of the US Supreme Court ruled today that police are entirely within their rights to strip search any person arrested for any offense."

MJ had that glitter sweatshirt and them boots with the furssss.

Weirdest of the big 3 by far. Most likely to have shows that make me not want to live. Though CBS Television City in LA fascinates me whenever I pass by for some reason.

How awful. I am always worried about balcony-type structures collapsing during parties, but people falling from balconies seems like it happens way too often at colleges. I've heard of at least a dozen instances. I'm sure it happens in non-collegiate settings, but something about college parties and balconies makes…

Some of these comments have inspired a question to no one in particular:

Santorum wants you to vote for missionary. Romney is willing to give oral for you to vote missionary.
