Yeah. The “vengeful god” of the “Old Testament” said: “When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”

I think this new puppy should just go to the bathroom in a specific place at a predictable time. Who’s with me?

It’s only Data when he’s with his twin. The rest of the time he’s Lt. Cmdr. Datum.

Anyway, I am picking up Endicott’s ‘Vagueness in Law’ again after failing to finish on the first pass. I have no defense. It is short and (mostly) easy to read. I will do better. Fin.

I think about this statement a lot. And I think this is generally a good predisposition in legal theory discourse and academic discourse generally. But, I think a lot depends on the good faith of the interlocutors. And it is probably not a good starting point for, say, epidemiology discourse. 2/

Thomas Endicott on nonsense in jurisprudence: “the first lesson of jurisprudence is not to dismiss obviously wrong or nonsensical claims …. Instead, it is worth asking what new emphasis or neglected insight a theorist is embellishing with absurdity. Nonsense in legal theory deserves lenience….” 1/
