Ding Ding Ding!

We have a winner, for the most laughably stupid article written by a law professor during the election season! Steven Calabresi, a co-founder of the Federalist Society, ruminates in the Chicago Tribune about Barack Obama's youth, the age requirement to be President (thirty-five), and liberal theories of constitutional interpretation. But then, my use of polysyllabic words in the prior sentence evinces a complexity to Professor Calabresi's argument that is completely lacking. His main insights seem to be:

(1) If liberals think "equal protection" is an indefinite term that should evolve with history, how come the number "35" doesn't evolve too!

(2) Obama is a socialist who will meet with dictators!

Honestly, if this is the brain trust behind the McCain campaign, the left has nothing to worry about in November.
