Positive Liberty Cited in Law Review

This is pretty cool. A post at one of my other blogs, Positive Liberty, has been cited in a law review article. The article is called Why Originalism Won’t Die by Tara Smith (no, not SB’s Tara Smith; brilliant as she may be I don’t think law is her forte). And it cites this post from Tim Sandefur criticizing Scalia’s views on meaning, language and the role of judges in constitutional interpretation. Both articles are well worth reading if you have an interest in legal theory.

    Hi Ed,
    you and some other guys of PT have also been cited in an German on-line article on the Sternberg case (http://www.evolutionsbiologen.de/sternberg.pdf). Unfortunately, German Creationists (Lönnig, Scherer et al.) repeat all the claims that Dembski et al. made on this case. Luckily, you and others have debunked what is going on behind the scene and provided all the material on the net.

    Why isn’t there a link to Positive Liberty on your site? (or why am I too dumb to find it?)

    I’m also glad to see that you recently updated all the science blogs on your Blogroll.

    All except for Wilkins’ move, which still doesn’t link to his home on ScienceBlogs.com.

    Larry-

    Get this through your fucking skull, you demented idiot – you are not allowed to comment here. Period. End of fucking discussion. My house, my rules. And if you don’t like it, go fuck yourself. Clear enough?

    Same bogus accusations, same idiotic logic based on said accusations, same lack of a handle. Guess you got tired of getting debunked on the War of Feudal American Backlash issue, eh, Larry?

    Unfortunately, German Creationists…repeat all the claims that Dembski et al. made on this case.

    Question: what would happen if you took Dembski’s postings, ran them through an English-to-German translation program, then ran the result thereof through a German-to-English translation program? Would the new English version make less sense, or more?

    What would the “Isaac Newton of information theory” have to say about this process?

    Hey Ed,
    Maybe you talked about this before, but how/why are you interested in legal theory? I always appreciate your posts dealing with said legal issues. Just a curious reader here.
