I won't pretend to think either of the Democratic candidates particularly amuse me. Hillary Clinton isn't eligible to practice law in Arkansas and somehow is the golden child of the Democratic Party because she stuck with her serial rapist husband whose greatest accomplishment as President was to cave in to the Republican Party. Her opponent is an angry old white man whose life has consisted of being in government, telling others government should care for them, too, despite, you know, economics.
Then we get to the Republican candidates. I was rooting for Marco Rubio, and I honestly don't think I know what happened to that campaign. We have Ted Cruz, who, ideologically, I tend to identify with, but I just don't know if he believes what he says. Then there is Donald Trump. I really get the anti establishment vote, but Trump is about as anti establishment as Mel Gibson is spokesman for the Jewish anti defamation league. Trump has used and bought his way through government his whole life. Why is he getting a pass? Just a thought.
I'm out of practice, so forgive me if this isn't my best post. I'm working on it.
Hi Mark, I stumbled on your blog when I googled shadow democracy, I want to research this concept, will you be writing more about it? I think lawyers that discuss politics are very important in this society especially now. I thought that you had some interesting ideas. Do you tweet or have a FB page to discuss? If not please post more. I follow RBReich, Mark Lemley and Laurence Tribe...(oops kind of tipped toward one gender, will have to do something about that). Anyway, thank you for your blog, lets hear more!!
