Things I learned at law school this week

Wearing a tux, attempting to bribe a juror and accusing a defense witness of having 'San Francisco values' are not as effective ways of winning a trial as you might think. (The nine-fingered litigator I am not).

Poor bloggers can say just about whatever they want. (My next post: "The following people are gay.")

And, according to my Constitutional Law classmates, Reagan "liberated" mentally disabled patients, voting equals political power and social welfare programs are evidence that the poor have a strong voice

Yeah, sure. He "liberated" them, that's what he did.

Well, a teeny, tiny little share of political power

Seems to me the really big social programs (Social Security, Medicare) are set up mostly for the benefit of the middle class.
