Before I run off, let me quickly explain why Prof. Blanchard is wrong on the hate crimes veto. One of the purposes of the veto is for the president to protect the Constitution from abuse by Congress. If Congress's reach is exceeding its grasp regarding the hate crimes bill, it is right and proper for the president to veto it. I reiterate that I have no problem with the content of the bill, but I do believe Congress is usurping what is properly a state power.
By the way, perfesser, regarding principles, a Groucho Marx quote with which you may be familiar: "Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others."
