HL 92 – Susan Collins Says Trump Has Learned His Lesson – Have Maine Voters Learned Theirs?

The liberal world is divided about the efficacy and fairness of standardized testing.  But a valid standardized test with a single question will be on the Maine ballot in November – one that will accurately measure the gullibility of those who answer it.  Will you vote to return Susan Collins to the United States Senate for a fifth term? […]

HL 91 – What Was Your First Reaction to What Alan Dershowitz Said? Remember in November

Each of us had a first reaction when hearing Trump sex worker Alan Dershowitz respond to a Ted Cruz question with the answer “If a President does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.” […]

HL 90 – Let Us Now Praise Famous Old Men and Woman

HL 90 is in praise of a certain sister and brothers over 70 years of age.  It is really not about whether the quintet of septuagenarians seeking the presidency (Warren, Trump, Biden, Sanders and Bloomberg) are too old for the job nor whether some among them are geriatricaly unfit. […]

HL 89 – A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Breaking Up Apple and Google – They Tried to Dismember Each Other

The trade press headline read “Apple Pay . . . Tramples Google Pay and Samsung Pay.”  But the story was ignored in mainstream press such as the New York Times.  There the headline was “This Man May Be Big Tech’s Biggest Threat.” […]

HL 88 – Federer’s Trump-like Attempt to Destroy the Davis Cup

How can we possibly compare Roger to Donald – despite the former being more lovely and temperate?  Let HL count a few ways and with all apologies to W. Shakespeare, E.B. Browning and K. Cobain. […]

HL 87 – At Any Time For Any Reason

Most lawyers and teachers of law know and have a responsibility to explain to others that lots of pure hogwash, pretending to be law, is being stated over and over again during the impeachment hearings. Two, stated ad nauseum, and particularly pernicious, because the repetition apparently has gotten some who should know better to repeat them, are that circumstantial evidence is not admissible and probative and that a President can fire “at will” government officials “at any time for any reason.” […]

HL 86 – Enter the Chief

Chief Justice John Roberts is about to emerge as a major player and possibly the closer in the last perilous year – give or hopefully take a few months – of the Trump presidency.  There is a slight bit of ambiguity and doubt in the prediction.  The Greatest Closer had failures to say nothing of his allowing Trump to exploit him.  That despite Trump’s constant slurs of Latino immigrants like him. […]

HL 85 – Republicans That Continue To Support Trump Do So Because He Is A Criminal Not In Spite Of It

Those surprised by the tiny proportion of Republicans abandoning Trump in the wake of the Ukrainian week that was, would be wise to revisit his January 23, 2016 observation about the loyalty of his base.  Trump’s insight, since paraphrased, embellished and diluted bears precise quotation: […]

HL 84 – I Won’t Forget That Once I was that Asian Kid Applying to Schools

The admissions policies of elite schools are under attack, including in court, for discriminating against Asian-American applicants.  In the Harvard case, awaiting decision in a federal district court in Boston, the document that paints a thousand pictures is one from a Harvard admissions officer commenting that a first in class Asian applicant with perfect SAT scores is “the proverbial picket fence.”  The applicant was not admitted.  De facto quotas imposed on these minority applicants from “communities of color” are ironically rationalized with the goal of diversity and inclusion. […]

HL 83 – Hopelessly Liberal The U.S. Open Addition

Possibly you are a fan of tennis but did not go to Flushing Meadows for more than 100 hours of the recently concluded U.S. Open, as HL did.  If so, this post is for you. Among the things prominent tennis press and commentators uniformly stated pre-tournament was that the Open would be: […]
