Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 :::
Volokh the Younger has some comments on regulation via lawsuit.
Every lawsuit should be considered a sign of a flaw in the legal system. Ideally, the law should be sufficiently unambiguous (and the courts sufficiently reliable) that the result is clearly predictable in advance. Back here in the real world, this is obviously an impossible standard to attain, but it's the ideal we should have in mind. Perhaps the House should have a committee assigned to look at split court decisions and decide whether there's a clarification they'd like to make in the law. On the other hand, something tells me that if Denny Hastert were the sort to give wedgies, this would be the sort of egg-headery that might earn one.
Speaking of non-sequitors, I notice that Alcee Hastings is on the Rules Committee.
