If you like carnivals, with lots of noise and bling, get to Wisconsin on the double—the show has begun. The breaks during the evening news are like a carnival, where the best barker has the loudest voice and the flashiest come-on. And these days, the biggest, loudest, flashiest barker of them all are Wisconsin’s public employee unions and the teachers unions. To hear them tell it, Scott Walker and the legislature have revoked the 14th Amendment of the United States. These barking fools want you to believe that the Governor and legislature have unilaterally nullified a portion of the Constitution and gotten away with it. Come on now, who would believe such nonsense? Hysterical, uniformed barking progressives, that’s who—from HuffPo to the Daily Beast. Well, I’m here to warn you about investing any of your confidence, let alone money, in these charlatans.
The law progressive bloggers are all fired up about is Wisconsin SB 202. Please, don’t take anyone’s word for what’s in it, not even mine. Pass right by the barkers and head for the gyp joints. We all know the only chance of leaving a carnival with anything of value is by using your skill to beat them at their own rigged game. It won’t be hard in this case, because the entire bill is only two-paragraphs long. Here’s the paragraph causing all the hullabaloo: (more…)
Jerri Cook is an Evil Racist

[UPDATE: So, a couple of Concord Law School students don't like what I wrote about their Facebook Page, and the hysterical half-wits are threatening to Honor Code me (it means throw me out of law school). Bring it on. If they try to suppress my 1st Amendment right to Free Speech, I'll fight back...hard and LOUD. If I were Concord Law School, I'd be more worried about the hateful, hysterical comments directed toward other students who exercise their right of Free Speech. Concord has allowed small-minded bullies to take over a forum that was supposed to foster the free exchange of ideas. Instead, it's deteriorated into abject bullying by liberal students against a confirmed and PROUD conservative. What a zoo.]
I’m an evil racist. Just ask some of the students over at the Concord Law School Facebook page. Why? I won’t buy into the manufactured outrage over a teenaged thug’s untimely, but completely predictable death. I won’t condemn a man, who I believe was completely justified in defending himself against this attacker. And I’ll call a spade a spade. Al Sharpton is a race pimp.
I also won’t go along with the meme that Blacks are oppressed in America because of their skin color. It’s just not true. Do people hate others because of skin color? Yes. If someone like Al Sharpton is a repugnant racist, do I have to refrain from pointing this out because he’s Black? Well, if you ask the racists on Concord Law School’s Facebook page, yes. But, if they post denigrating pictures of the Pope, and I cry foul, I’m just a racist good-for-nothing who should be reported to the State Bar. Just ask David, Eurydice (I received an apology from Eurydice. I accept it because we all say things when we’re frustrated that might make us cringe later. It takes a person of good character to apologize when they’ve made a mistake, and I admire her for making the effort.), and of course the most ludicrous of them all, the GreatTakesha. (more…)
Rick Santorum and Felony Disenfranchisement

It’s long been an American cornerstone—those who have done the crime and served the time deserve a chance to rejoin society as a productive member. Ex-cons who go to school, get a job, and become active in their communities are often a force for good in communities where crime is rampant and drugs are ubiquitous. They become role models. So, why can’t these role models participate in the political process? By what authority are they banned from a major part of American society? (more…)
Abort, Restrict, and Destroy-The War on Faith

I have something to say to all you Kumbaya Catholics out there—I told you so. I remember the last time I was at Mass. The Deacon was spouting about how it is my duty to pay for health insurance for the “poor.” I was supposed to pray for (to?) Barack Obama (from the sound of it, you would have thought the Church was on the verge of making him a Saint). So, how’s all that Kumbaya crap working out for you? Ahhh, liberalism, you gotta love it. The Catholic Church, the first and only Church ordained by Christ Himself, is now firmly under the thumb of the oligarchs who control the government. The Church will, by Government edict, pay for and promote Government policies that are abhorrent to people of faith. Seriously, who didn‘t see this coming? (more…)

This fact pattern is based on the Zinniker case. Feel free to respond with your answers. We can compare notes. I’ll post mine as soon as I’m done working on it.
Frieda Farmer owns a small homestead in the State of West Consin. On her homestead, she has three milk-producing cows. Each day, she collects approximately 40 lbs of milk from each cow. Frieda has a USDA Grade-A shipping permit, and her cows are certified organic by the USDA. Freida has received awards for her commitment to sanitation, humane animal practices, and quality. For six months now, Freida has only been shipping the milk from two of her cows to the processor to be made into cheese. Some of the milk from the third is consumed by Freida and her family. The rest of the unpasteurized milk is sold to locals who come to the farm to pick it up fresh every morning. Freida doesn’t store the raw milk for customers at any time. (more…)
