Conservative Originalism and Interracial Marriage
An interesting conversation has begun on American Creation, where my friend Jon Rowe blogs along with several others from every side of the question of religion and the founding fathers (including frequent Dispatches commenter King of Ireland). The discussion is largely with Tom Van Dyke, who has commented here as well. The discussion is over conservative originalism in its various forms vs. the kind of liberal originalism (or more accurately original principle originalism) that I and others (Jack Balkin, Randy Barnett) advocate. Let me give some of the background on this discuss

Right Wing Rap: Just Stop. Please.
Yet another right wing rapper has shown up on the scene at the tea parties. His name is Hi Caliber and he sucks as bad as all the previous ones. "Patriotic people throw your hands in the air, and wave them around like you just don't care." Seriously, is that the best he can do? I imagine it is. Just stop. Please.

Cert Denied in Religious Graduation Speech Case
The Supreme Court has denied cert in the case of McComb v. Crehan, the 2006 case where a valedictorian had her microphone cut off by the school during her speech at a graduation ceremony because she began to talk about her Christian faith, a deviation from the script they had approved (they had rejected the original script and forced her to take out the religious elements). The district court had dismissed her case and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that dismissal. Now the Supreme Court has refused to hear the appeal, leaving the lower court rulings in place.
