It has been a good week. A week to be thankful for. Oregon had a massive win in regard to measure 114 and its follow-on bill. A state court granted a permanent injunction against the entire mess. Measure 114 is currently on life support. This was at the lowest level in the state courts. Sort…

I grew up in a traditional family. Part of this meant that we ate as a family every night. When we finally got a TV, we didn’t eat in front of it. That was something that was a reserved special treat. For a long time, I had lost that. When my wife and I got…

There is only one way to remove a Supreme Court justice, that is through impeachment as described in the constitution. There…

We’ve had some news out of a couple of rogue inferior courts. The level of gymnastic skill exercised by these courts rivals anything ever seen at the Olympics. On the good news front, the Supreme Court will hear the Range petition for writ of certiorari today. There are three potential answers we can get back:…

When I first heard this, I thought it was the national anthem of Israel. Here is the real thing:

I am a computer scientist. I went to university to learn how to be a computer scientist. Some of the classes I took were named things like “data structures” “FORTRAN IV” “Assembly” and “Compilers”. I’ve written three compilers, around four or five different interpreters, studied and understand bit manipulation. I’ve done bit fiddling on a…
