Blogging will be light through the holidays, and at the very
beginning of January as I get set up for my spring semester
visit teaching at UC Irvine
Law. That means I expect to do a fair amount of train

I still expect to blog a bit over the holidays, especially if
there are developments in the Alaska Senate race that I've been
following. In the meantime, have a happy and safe holiday
season, and a happy new year!

More from the Chicago
Sun-Times and from Champaign County clerk Mark
Shelden, who writes: " A modicum of work by the media
could have presented a more accurate presentation of the law in
this issue. Instead, they used most of their ink citing Burt
Odelson, who was clearly biased."
