See if you can't find the answers to the following questions (and tell me if you do):
1) Who has the final say regarding whether a law is constitutional, Congress or the Supreme Court?
2) If an intestate decedent leaves two surviving children, each with several children of their own, and several grandchildren of a deceased child, which descendants will receive how much of the intestate's estate if we are operating under 53-2-1 of the GA Code? If we are in a Uniform Probate Code jurisdiction?
3) What was Scalia's primary justification for striking down hate crime legislation in R.A.V. v. St. Paul? Was his reasoning convincing? Why or why not? And how does this opinion related to the broader topic of censorship w/r/t the Mass Media?
4) Expound on the idea/expression dichotomy in the area of photography copyright. What are the particular problems that a court faces when deciding the "originality" question w/r/t substantially similar photographs?
5) Should the courts weigh the interests of the parties when deciding questions of pollution control? Are you a "moral outrage" advocate or a "cool analysis" advocate? Explain.
6) Will I ever have a job?

1) Who has the final say regarding whether a law is constitutional, Congress or the Supreme Court?
Neither- everyone knows it's God. And if I had a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary, I could say that in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.
2) If an intestate decedent leaves two surviving children, each with several children of their own, and several grandchildren of a deceased child, which descendants will receive how much of the intestate's estate if we are operating under 53-2-1 of the GA Code?

Whichever one best leverages the fate of the Aquitaine while also delivering the wittiest and most scathing insults at his/her brothers and/or sisters gets the lion's share. Get it? Lion? I'm funny. Sleeping with the King of France is not advised.
3) What was Scalia's primary justification for striking down hate crime legislation in R.A.V. v. St. Paul? Was his reasoning convincing? Why or why not? And how does this opinion related to the broader topic of censorship w/r/t the Mass Media?
Scalia has been and always will be a hater. He hates the playa, he hates the game, and, most importantly, he hates you. Amy Salley.
4) Expound on the idea/expression dichotomy in the area of photography copyright. What are the particular problems that a court faces when deciding the "originality" question w/r/t substantially similar photographs?
I mean- what does "substantially" mean anyway? Like, if I sample a song that someone else wrote and change a 16th note to a 32nd note, are the two songs "substantially" different or "substantially" similar? Will it ever stop yo I don't know, turn off the lights and I'll glow.
5) Should the courts weigh the interests of the parties when deciding questions of pollution control? Are you a "moral outrage" advocate or a "cool analysis" advocate? Explain.
I think that the correct answer is "moral outrage." I hate questions that are not open ended!
6) Will I ever have a job?
Aren't you already a bus driver?
1) Da Court
2) Umm, this wasn't my day, and after I was called on I stopped reading/paying attention, so I can't help you here.
3) I'm not in this class, but Scalia is always wrong, so go with that.
4)Jeff Francoeur
5) I dunno
6) Maybe
