Carpenter v. United States and the Law of the Chancellor’s Foot
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that “The prophecies of what the courts will do in fact, and nothing more pretentious, are what I mean by the law.” By that standard, I respectfully submit that the Supreme Court’s decision in *Carpenter v. United States* is not law. Anyone who says they can read the majority opinion and predict with any degree of confidence how the Court will deal with any number of future technologies—be they biometrics, facial recognition, DNA or real-time cell-site location information (CSLI)—is, frankly, just making it up. Rather, *Carpenter *is the second in... more »
What Happened Last Night? Alexandria's Earthquake-- And The DCCC Stinks Up The Room Again

Camel Corps
The BBC doesn’t get it, but Roger Boyes does. He has an excellent piece in the Times (£) today. Prince William’s visit is a snub to the camel corps. I strongly recommend it. What? you don’t subscribe to the Times? I’m not cheeky enough to paste all of it into this blog, but perhaps this excerpt will tempt you.

Hungarian FM unmasks the extreme unfairness, activism of BBC
It's very far from the first time when I was impressed by the Hungarian foreign affairs minister, Szijjártó Péter (I am showing my idea about the Hungarian language by being able to permute the names). But after this exchange at the BBC, I would be very happy if the Visegrád Group hired him as a *shared* minister of foreign affairs. As a guy who's been told by 20 different Americans that his accent was Hungarian, I have the right to propose that! ;-) Seriously, I don't remember a minister of foreign affairs of Czechia who would be this competent.

Dreamland
Reading "Dreamland; the true tale of America's opiate Epidemic" by Sam Quinones. I recommend it. A perfect storm of Mexican drug dealers, pill mills, and pharmaceutical companies in high gear to combat pain, and how it all came together in Ohio. If we think making marijuana legal is a good idea, we need to rethink because it is "legal" drugs that have enslaved us. This book (2015) is now dated but updated daily in the news; the explanation of how the Mexican drug cartel works is happening before our eyes and now includes fentanyl as well as black tar heroin.

However, Chokos certainly can be grown here and their productivity makes them excellent feed while using your fence rows to support vines.

Wayfair decision by Supreme Court will mean millions for governments
This happens to be important of course and it really is about USA sale tax reform generally. The rest of the world applies a blanket VAT whereas the USA does not. This has been to everyone else's actual advantage and this can be ended easily by applying a federal VAT. Doing this correctly revolutionizes government finance and ends most needs for tariffs in particular. Better yet, splitting that revenue with the States eliminates State sales tax as well while funding medicare at the State level. In the short run we will produce a mish mash of taxation and a rising corporat... more »
