I just got a call from Jim Babka inviting me on his show for a second time this Sunday. The subject will be the 14th amendment and whether or not it intended to incorporate the bill of rights as enforcable against the states. My opponent will be none other than Herb Titus, former dean of the Regent University Law School. Mr. Titus is a good friend of Jim Babka's as well as of Perry Willis, who comments here from time to time. He did the legal work on Perry's court case seeking to overturn the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act, on which he and I would agree. It should be a very interesting discussion because we have areas of agreement and areas of great disagreement, not to mention mutual friends (and even mutual enemies, politically).
Expect a different tone to this debate than the last one. While Larry Klayman is, in my mind, little more than a huckster, Herb Titus is a serious legal scholar and deserves to be treated as such. I do think he's wrong on the subject of the 14th amendment, but I expect the tone will be much more congenial than the last time. If you're interested in reading more of Titus' views on the 14th amendment, see this brief he wrote in the McCreary ten commandments case currently pending before the Supreme Court.
The show will begin at 5 pm eastern time on Sunday. To listen online, click here. High quality streaming is available with a subscription, and lower
grade streaming is available for free on channels 1 and 2. Full audio will be available for this show afterwards as they now have archiving set up for the show.

Hmmmm.... just a quibble, but can one be said to "appear" on the radio?
This is thoroughly off topic. Just to let you know, we returned to the US from Europe last Sunday. The only question that we were asked when we went through customs in Boston was whether we were bringing prescription drugs into the US.
That was the first time that we were asked that question. Consider it as you wish. We didn't bring prescription drugs this time, but we have in the past--my partner requires "blood thinner" medicine (Coumandin/warfarin) and was prescribed for them while we were in Europe.
At some point this gets beyond silly. Beyond annoying. And there's no particular reason to come to the US. Even if we're US citizens. We don't go through this crap when we go to Munich. Only when we return to the US from Munich.
