The funniest is when these often very wrong constituencies proclaim their deep love of the Constitution.

I wish Bad Legal Takes would get on Threads.

I see Bad Legal Takes as being part of fighting the good fight and not letting stupidity go unchallenged on Twitter. But, I think the issue now is more that neither BlueSky nor Threads has taken over as the clear choice for a Twitter replacement. I suspect once one of them wins Twitter will be mostly done.

I think any politician that doesn't believe in the concept of the separation of Church and State should be disqualified from running for office.....

Maybe I'm wrong, but I tend to think they may act differently on a 1st Amendment issue.

And, honestly, I really haven't much kept up on all the Con Law issues or 5th Circuit Con Law rulings since law school. It's always been a major interest of mine, but I just don't really have the time to devote to it anymore since what I do has nothing to do with Con Law. I just know the 5th Circuit more or less from cases that mostly have nothing to do with Con Law.

I took three semesters of con law and a full year of con history as a history major simply because I was a glutton for punishment (and had a project of re-writing the Constitution without any amendments).

I call it an "Ayn Randism." Most who praise it didn't read it, and would hate both the writing and the message if they did.

I actually have read both. And I agree that a lot of members of the Rand Institute would be surprised and not particularly pleased about what Ayn Rand actually wrote. And I'm sure that any who read anything Rand wrote only read the novels and not the books of philosophy on Objectivism.

Hmm, we getting into religious territories here.

In whether alleged fans of Ayn Rand actually read Ayn Rand?

No just the general idea of fanatics that never read the source material. I wasn't making a complaint just a comparison.
