Of course if he really wants his head to explode, he should listen to Marc Levin. Levin has no qualms about calling out these 5th columnists

Oh and Wickle…..where’s your beef with Obama and his demomarxist comrades? You know, the thugs LITERALLY destroying this nation piece by piece.

I must admit, you do make a great tool for the thug in chief.

You know, that’s a great point … this is a 13-year-old. A strip search does damage to anyone … especially a young teenager.

And this was about … what? … ibuprofen? Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that she had ibuprofen. Was it really worth a strip search? Is ibuprofen really on the same level as crack?

Oy. While I fully understand that judges do not want to second-guess school officials and police officers for every single search that they may perform, and want to give good guidelines to the schools, Thomas went too far. As Eugene Volokh (I think) pointed out, Thomas made it sound as if the Court never engages in any sort of balancing of the intrusiveness of a search with the dangerousness of the alleged crime.

That, actually, is the very basis of reasonableness; otherwise, probable cause of even the slightest infraction would justify the most intrusive of searches.

As a pragmatic matter, school officials are unlike police officers in that they should have a special knowledge of their student’s emotional development. Any sane middle-school administrator should know that a strip search would be extremely traumatic for a 13-year-old girl. Also, students need a bit of extra protection, since they are mandated by law to be under the control of these school officials.

Wickle,
He’s from east Mass. If our friend Alfie seems typically enraged on a day-in, day-out, I can’t say that it’s my out of character with the character of the region.

From my experience anyways.

Hmmm … I hadn’t noticed that. I subscribe, so I see all of your posts, but I certainly don’t post on all of them.

I’ll try to make a point of commenting on some of the more-tame ones.

Or maybe I’m just more attracted to “gutter typing” than I thought.

(But not enough to finish off with either of the two jokes that I considered …)

I could’ve linked to your earlier Marc although I actually had a tad bit o’ understanding his dissent then. This time NOT!
