Bob Vischer, of Mirror of Justice, brings our attention to a WaPo (ala Althouse) article:
Today's Washington Post has an article on the coming Catholic Supreme Court, containing a complaint from the Feminist Majority Foundation that non-Catholics and non-believers are now underrepresented on the Court.
This is, of course, a dangerously silly perspective on the Court, but doesn't this complaint make a certain degree of sense given the current public discourse?
* * *Am I overstating this trend of legal instrumentalism effectuated through judicial identity? . . . If the trend is real, does it simply represent the overdue articulation of the fact that judicial identity has driven jurisprudence all along, or have the culture wars brought us to a new, starker stage of identity-based jurisprudence?
I don't believe Vischer is overstating the trend; Am I wrong to see it as the most recent expression of legal realism?
I am not a homeschooler. However, having substituted, I have some experience. How are your student using the index? Do they know how to look for key words in the text for the answer? Maybe they want your attention, or maybe you need to review study skills like scanning and skimming.
