Shallow Al

I returned from Europe late last week not particularly eager to discuss anything remotely legal. But the resignation of AG AG is too big to avoid. Like in many other situations, my thoughts are captured much more eloquently by someone else. In this case, the words of Prof. Balkin sum things up rather nicely: "He abused his office for political gain, repeatedly misled Congress under oath --and probably out and out lied on more than one occasion." The thing is, this Admin probably thinks he did everything right.

Unrelatedly, in Rome I went off on a Quebecois who made some sort of a snide remark about American politics. In a very impolite way, I replied that Canadian politics is so irrelevant I don't know enough to even mock it.
