OT: Bimbo Eruptions

Oooh – even scarier – zombie Con Law experts.

Or zombie Ron Paul supporters.

Or maybe the zombie con law experts eat the brains of the ron paul supporters. Maybe those brains are yummier.

If you’re ever unlucky enough to be charged with a federal crime not on your list, don’t tell the judge that the case should be dismissed because the govt has no power to create federal criminal law.

Save a lot of money. Fed prison system must be costly to operate.

But what about this pesky “commerce clause”? What does it mean, affect interstate commerce?

And have you done your reading.

Bar exam results for July actually come out on Friday in case anyone knows someone waiting.

Hopefully they remembered the commerce clause intricacies in hot July.

My opinion is that zombies, although not mentioned anywhere in the us constitution, absolutely affect interstate commerce, and the GOV has the power to regulate zombies. I think vampires should be left to the states tho

[scaredyclassic]

For instance let’s say on my own private property I want to keep some chained zombie slaves to fight for a paid audience. Could the GOV pass a law to forbid this entrepreneurial activity? Seems like it wouldn’t affect interstate commerce it’s all local, and yet, almost certainly the law would be found to be constitutional. See wickard v filburn, 317 U.S 111 (1942).

Does the commerce clause rule over murder in the states? Does it rule on battery? Does it rule on rape? If all of these things were left in the hands of the states, intentionally, how do we make the leap that supreme court can rule on abortion?

[scaredyclassic]

Abortion was a due process decision.

Federal crimes affect interstate commerce.

Compartmentalize and focus dammit or we will never survive this swarm of zombies!!!

So let’s suppose that markmax and I have a baby who because of his obvious genetic deficiencies becomes a zombie in my uterus. Forget for a moment that I dont have one. Would that fetus be abortable in Mississippi?

Would we need an activist judge?

Slow down broseph you’re blowing my mind!

Thankfully we don’t have to worry about your little zombie since the failure of the life begins at fornication bill. (I think saw the video btw, on youporn.com.) If it had, it would raise some interesting questions. Is a zombie zygote ever alive? If not, isn’t it still entitled to due process rights? We need a zombie constitutional law expert!

[scaredyclassic]

Zombie brains are a really interesting issue. Zombies are not on life support they fully function, and the brain operates, albeit at a low level. A person on life support who loses brain function is no longer in possession of an operational brain as is the case of the zombie brain. Yet zombies must die. So hack away at them with anything: ashovel a crowbar a pickaxr. Just crush the brain.

I believe that the 13th amendment could be interpreted as granting constitutional rights to corporations, whales, and zombies.

Clearly, the government takes it seriously.

[quote=walterwhite]Each state has its own constitution and each state gets to interpret it’s own state constitution.[/quote]

Ah, but the federal Constitution is the “one ring” that binds them all. If you have a state law that someone feels doesn’t fit with the principals of the US Constitution, the USSC gets to review it in the light of the US constitution, and the basic rights embodied in the US Constitution trump the state’s laws, if they are out of sync. That was one of the conditions of federalism.

[quote=UCGal]MarkMax… the subject has changed to zombies… or better yet – zombie sharks!!!
(Now that is really terrifying.)

I love the idea of sending Marian to stay behind and fight them.

Can we make a stop at La Posta to get grub before we head out to the Carl Vinsen?[/quote]
I am usually all for these thread detours, but I am geeking out here for a bit. I’ll come back around to appreciate good humor in a bit. I do like the zombie shark idea…
