Andrew Sullivan gets this right! I would submit that college and university websites are even worse, as a class, than restaurant sites. The problem is that college sites are invariably controlled by the marketing arm of the institution, which sees the site as a recruiting device for future students. So we get giant slide shows of happy (and multicultural!) students on grassy lawns, virtual campus tours, and empty bloviations from the college president who wants "to welcome you to Western… [read post]

As the health care restructuring bills are scheduled for votes in the House tomorrow, it is worthwhile pondering the unprecedented character of these bills. There appear to be three unique features. 1. The passage of major legislation by a single vote margin. In the House, it is likely to be a vote or two difference. In the Senate, it was by the minimum of 60. Has this ever happened before with legislation of this type? I don't know, but my sense is no. 2. The passage of major legislation on… [read post]

This Wikipedia entry is useful, although I am not really in a position to judge its accuracy. The French system is interesting. More like the constitutional structure of the United States than many would have thought. In many ways, it actually resembles the 18th century British system, which the Framers copied and which was developing into a parliamentary system, but was not there yet. The President is the King, but he must govern through Parliament. … [read post]

One sees adds on television urging everyone to vote. They are supposed to be nonpartisan and noncontroversial, but they are actually wrong. Not everyone should vote. Greg Mankiw explains why. So don't vote. And that applies especially to those people who don't know much about politics. [read post]

Hooray! The wicked witch is not dead, but she took a serious hit. Unfortunately, the court severed the remainder of the law, which it left in place. But the biggest news here may be the composition of the panel. One of the two judges striking down the mandate was Judge Frank Hull (a women, despite the name), who was appointed by Bill Clinton (to replace Phyllis Kravitch of all people). Thus, a mixed panel held the mandate unconstitutional. (It may be, however, that Judge Hull is… [read post]

President Obama has ordered the U.S. military to attack Libya without congressional authorization. Put aside whether that is consistent with the principles on which Obama campaigned. Is it constitutional? In my view, the original meaning is clear: he has no authority to do this. For the pathbreaking article that explained how the text of the Declare War Clause prevents the President from attacking countries, see Michael Ramsey, Textualism and War Powers, 69 U. Chicago L. Rev. 1543 (2002), which is… [read post]

And that includes the recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Obamacare tanking on Intrade. Let's just hope. (Hat tip: Glenn). Update: Alas, like the Sports Illustrated models, no doubt, this reality does not look as good upon closer inspection. The numbers are now back up to the 60s. It appears that a single person engaged in some market manipulation over night to bring the price down. He was able, by spending approximately $300, to bring the price down to 35. But that turned out to be a… [read post]

Pretty bad, but not as bad as I had thought. If one excludes both defense spending and interest on the debt, then Bush is not in the worst group -- Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ and Nixon. Instead, he is in the middle group of Ford and Bush I. The best president is, not surprising, Ronald Reagan, who held non-defense, non-interest spending to a real annual average growth of 1 percent. Interestingly, the other two presidents who fall into the best group are Clinton and Carter. In the case of Clinton, I… [read post]

Yes, that means you, President Obama. The New York Times reports that Iran apologist and UN nuclear investigator Mohamed El Baradei says "that it ha[s] been more than a year since Iran had answered questions about the extent of its nuclear ambitions, including suspicions that it is pursuing nuclear weapons. . . . We have effectively reached a dead end, unless Iran engages fully with us."Now what has been going on for the last year? Can't quite figure it out. Some new… [read post]

If one listens to the commentators talk about the primaries, one hears things like, "If Hillary loses two in a row, she is finished" or "The race will be over by the time Giuliani gets in." Some of this is exaggerated, but assume it is true. The question is why. In other words, why do the early primaries have such influence? If one wins Iowa and New Hampshire, one has a very small percentage of the total primary… [read post]
