Oh, so the kid would really be Mack the Tyke’s tyke. Not quite the same ring to it.

My dad used to call me Mike the tyke, so that would be appropriate.

If y’all have a kid, it can be Mack the Tyke.

Cool pictures.

I find that the CD Source on Greenville pays more for audio CDs than Movie Trading Co. That might hold true for DVDs, too. Whatever CD Source doesn’t want to buy, you can take to MTC. Good luck on eBay. Let me know how you do.

I’m with Justice Thomas in every case, well, except Griswald of course. I know how Thomas would have voted on Griswald though. Thomas is my man.

That Warren court was pretty colorful, what with White, Black, and Gold(berg).

By the way, why isn’t Kennedy v. Louisiana on that fantastic Cornell site?

Here's my list: LAWRENCE V. TEXAS I oppose sodomy laws but don't think they were forbidden by the 14th amendment. KELO V. NEW LONDON Connecticut seized a woman's house for no good reason, but I don't see why the Federal government is involved and in any case the political branches of government are better suited to judge what is and isn't "public use" since the political branches are closer to the public. Griswold v. Connecticut I support couples' right to birth control, but the Court can't just make up new rights out of emanations of penumbrae of the Constitution. KENNEDY v. LOUISIANA I oppose the death penalty for crimes other than murder or treason, but don't think it's banned by the 8th Amendment.

I’m betting one of your three was Kelo.

Your exercise is interesting, but difficult for those of us not as intimately acquainted with SCOTUS decisions (even high profile ones) as you are. Let me suggest this, name 5 or 10 decisions that you think might be good examples to use to determine ones partisan lensing and I will respond with my opinion on those cases.
