		<description>&lt;em&gt;Maybe you should ask the scholarly, constitutional law professor Barrack Obama about the proposed 100 percent  taxation of AIG bonuses &lt;/em&gt;

If that proposal actually has legs, I imagine someone &lt;em&gt;will&lt;/em&gt; ask him. He&#039;ll probably have an interesting answer.

Is that what you meant?</description>

		<description>Barack&#039;s response may be...&quot;what?&quot; Do you mean &quot;is this a bill of attainder?&quot; To get an answer first you need a reasonable question. Yours seems...unwieldy. (Equal protection? Really?)</description>

		<description>Maybe you should ask the scholarly, constitutional law professor Barrack Obama about the proposed 100% taxation of AIG bonuses and how that relates to monetary punishment rather than a criminal conviction.  
Maybe you should also ask him about constitutional notions of equal protection, and doesn’t a 100% levy go beyond taxation and become confiscation?
Have at it.</description>

No. He&#039;s a jackass.

		<description>Basically just the textbook definition of a troll, I think. Using logic and reason with Joaquin is probably futile. Just as well try using html code on a rock.</description>

		<description>joaquin: &lt;i&gt;I guess you will now say that he went straight from High School to being a law professor.&lt;/i&gt;

Nobody said that, but then nobody is surprised the only response you can give is to set up a straw man to complain about a something that nobody did.

&lt;i&gt;And not just a law professor, but one of the most brilliant professors in the country!&lt;/i&gt;

Nope.  Still nobody who said that except you.  I suppose refuting your own made-up arguments is a lot easier than dealing with reality.

&lt;i&gt;And not just a brilliant law professor, but he also taught law while being a community activist, and also helping blind children cross the street!!&lt;/i&gt;

And now I&#039;d just say you&#039;re being silly and hyperbolic, except from all the other comments you&#039;ve made I really can&#039;t be certain that you don&#039;t actually believe that.

&lt;i&gt;Allow me to smack that EASY button!&lt;/i&gt;

As in, take the easy way out by ignoring both reality and what other people actually say to live in your own little distorted fantasy world where you don&#039;t have to actually ever make sense.</description>

		<description>Twelve years teaching consitutional law at one of the premiere schools of law on the planet.

joaquin: Bah! That&#039;s nothing!

Tell you what, chester. It beats the crap out of anything that ever happened at Regent U. Your people spent the last eight years kissing up to that sort. How&#039;d that work out?</description>

		<description>No one here seems to care if he is a law professor besides you Joaquin, the only thing anyone is debating is his experience with Con Law. Which he has by virtue of his 12 years lecturing on it.</description>

		<description>Sean, I&#039;m not inside Joaquin&#039;s head but I&#039;ll venture a guess: 

(However long Barack Obama taught) + a bit more.

Or, alternatively...

(However long a conservative taught) - a bit less.</description>

		<description>joaquin: &lt;i&gt;Allow me to serve you another cup of Kool-Aid.&lt;/i&gt;

How can there be any left for us when you&#039;re drinking it all?

Seriously, dude.  How much time does one need to spend teaching con law at one of the most prestigious law schools in the county to be considered to have &quot;experience with constitutional law&quot;?

Can you even answer just one question like a grownup?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I needed a little bucking up.&lt;/i&gt;

The guy is tiring, isn&#039;t he? Speaking of...

&lt;i&gt;Allow me to serve you another cup of Kool-Aid.&lt;/i&gt;

Joaquin, for goodness sakes. From the link, emphasis mine. 

&quot;UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as &quot;Senior Lecturer.&quot; From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. &lt;b&gt;Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track.&lt;/b&gt; The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School&#039;s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, &lt;b&gt;Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

Are you actually a conservative parody, like Jon Swift or Stephen Colbert?</description>

		<description>I hope you guys realize that you are not only embarrassing yourselves, but insulting every single law professor.
Obama lectured part-time, and now he&#039;s considered by you a law professor!
That&#039;s like me parring the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass therefore announcing that I&#039;m now on the PGA Tour and an equal to Tiger and Michelson.

		<description>Joaquin, you asked what experience the president had with constitutional law. I answered you in literally less than a minute.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Judges should be neutral.&lt;/i&gt;

Isn&#039;t that the very definition of Judge? Never understood that.

&lt;i&gt;Do you idiots read what you reference??? BWAAA HA HA HA!!!&lt;/i&gt;
