[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a “note” written by a student editor of the Law Review.  There’s nothing wrong with students, of course.  But this wasn’t written by a constitutional scholar or even a lawyer.

Before someone says, “But Harvard! And professors must have helped!”  No.  If you’ve never published a law review article or been on a law review, they have basically zero peer review.  Bad ideas are commonplace, as are flat-out legal errors. This isn’t the product of faculty workshops and it doesn’t represent any sort of consensus.  It‘a the musings of a Harvard student, of which many are published each year in the Harvard LR.

Nope.

Here’s mainstream support from actual thoughtful smart writers.  Yes they’re mostly on the left.  Sad state of conservative and centrist pundits today, no?

The idea works constitutionally.[/quote]

You curtly replied “nope” to statements that are true.  Dumb.

The fact that you found three other people who may agree with an idea means quite little.[/quote]
