Servitude
Occasionally the arguments on the "pro-choice" side are so stupid I am almost embarrassed to admit that I support lawful abortion (although not to the extent of Roe). That these arguments were made by Barack Obama's designee for the Office of Legal Council, one of the Justice Department's most important positions, ought to embarrass the administration. That nominee Dawn Johnson is now claiming she is "shocked" that she ever said such things raises all sorts of questions. Among them, why would Barack Obama want to entrust such an important role, one that might well have a bearing on whether or not officials in his own administration are one day prosecuted, to such a small thinker?

I hate to quote Steve Jobs: A's hire other A's, but B's hire C's.
Or, in this case, a gentleman's C-minus hires other F's.

I am ashamed to say that I will soon graduate from the law school she taught at: Maurer School of Law (formerly IU Law - Bloomington).

Why is anyone surprised? The liberal Obama appointed to be in charge of the IRS does not pay his taxes -- and that is OK with the liberals in the Senate who voted to confirm him anyway. Why would anyone expect the liberal Obama appoints to the Office of Legal Counsel to know anything about the law?

Don't be so dismissive. She knows a lot about the law. More then you or I ever will. It's just that what she knows is wrong.
