I'm participating at a Yale Law School conference on Constitutional Interpretation on Jack Balkin's book "Living Originalism. I wrote about it last week. Some previous posts on the subject: Constitutional Interpretation, Originalism and a Living Constitution and Dred Scott, Originalism and a Living Constitution..

You can watch a live stream of the conference. It should be fascinating.

    Glad I had a chance to catch it.  Balls and strikes nonsense, indeed.  What of balks? Batters with a foot outside the box? Catcher's interference? Not to mention checking the disputed dribbler base-hit for the shoe polish which would prove it foul. Or ejecting a manager for calling your mother an unshowered prostitute. Or when to call the game because of weather or crowd unruliness.  Or, or, or...

    Country club golf is their best game to officiate.  And even then, their handicap has more digits than a Slovakian phone number.
