Law Professor’s Brain Falls Out

Law Professor’s Brain Falls Out

No one notices though because it is a law school prof. Glenn does another glenuation with the OK City Bombing and an Iraqi connection.

The last three paragraphs are priceless:

And there is more. Al Hussaini, who entered the US from a Saudi refugee camp, worked after the Oklahoma bomb as a cook at Boston’s Logan Airport – from where the two hijacked aircraft that hit the World Trade Center took off.

There is another confirmed incident that suggests something more sinister. Two of the 11 September conspirators held a crucial meeting at a motel in Oklahoma City in August 2001. The motel’s owner has since identified them as ringleader Mohammed Atta and Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker, who has known links with shoebomber Richard Reid.

The motel is unremarkable – except for one thing. It is where a number of Davis’s witnesses are sure they saw McVeigh drinking and perhaps plotting with his Iraqi friends.

And how many degrees of separation are they from Kevin Bacon?

If we have learned anything from the sniper investigation, uncritically accepting eyewitness testimony, especially from some time ago, is a bad practice.

Conspiracy theories might be fun, but they aren’t very useful.

Illinois Circular Firing Squad Team

Illinois Circular Firing Squad Team House Leadership Race Heats Up

Rich Miller describes the background to the House ICFST Leadership race. And in signs of the hari kari about to come, Roeser argues for Tenhouse.

Roeser predictably argues for being right (in more than one sense) than having influence. His argument is that somehow Tenhouse is going to restrain spending. Has anyone mentioned to Roeser that Tenhouse is going to virtually no say? He isn’t going to have a closely divided chamber and he is going to be competing with Da Speaker. Just what use would Tenhouse be other than voicing righteous indignation?

On the other hand Cross would keep suburban moderates in the fold and offer alternatives that would attract crossover votes. And must maybe reduce the gap between the two parties numbers.

Illinois Tuition Tax Credits Go

Illinois Tuition Tax Credits

Go to the well-off more than others. Kadner points out the bizarre type of benefit going to the wealthier kids who would be doing better anyway. If we are going to support private schools with tax dollars those dollars should first go to those who don’t have the opportunities, not the parents of kids who can already afford it.

Part of this story isn’t reported and plays an important role. G-Ry agreed with Archdiocese to support credits to increase enrollment. Without them there was fear that the Chicago Catholic schools would go under. Regardless, such support can be better targeted.
