“Shamnesty” is dead - again. Which left me to clean up some loose ends after the victory party, and get a leg up on the “Darn, this was a good week for conservatives!” retrospectives now pouring forth today.
I’ll certainly be discussing this at greater length tomorrow. What better way to prepare for tomorrow’s live blog? Besides a nice afternoon nap, that is….

Aren’t you glad you never went to law school, now?
Seriously, Ed raises some good points - and one that I would disagree with. I would not say that the last 40 years of race based legal decisions have been a total loss. Structural or institutional racism is very hard to eliminate or even identify at times but SCOTUS has made an effort at rooting the beast out - as Ed points out, with rather mixed results.
And there are some cases in employment law that cry out for federal intervention by the courts. So I’m not sure that a total “market based solution” would be wise - even for schools.
Ultimately, what we need is common sense when tackling racial issues. There has been a dearth of that and instead, what we’ve gotten is more and more social engineering by liberal judges as they strive to achieve some nebulous kind of “diversity” - at the expense of both common sense and the law.
