If you hover your mouse over a link it will always show the source before you click on it, which can help you decide what to do. If the source is unfamiliar or suspect, beware.

Though it is harmless, albeit annoying.

Still a half-billion clickers can’t be wrong, can they?

AesopFan: Me too.

I used to like the emphasized text to indicate a link. But after some experience I prefer to have some idea of where I am jumping off to.

These days I won’t click a blind link unless the linker is a brand name I trust or describes it with some thoroughness.

Otherwise you get rickrolled or worse.

Oblio: Good to see you back!

I guess you’re referring to the Critical Legal Studies school. Or “Crit” as my lawyer friend calls it, which claims that law is nothing more than a game so those in power remain in power.

I don’t believe that’s what our Founders intended, but if people have say that long enough and hard enough and act upon that belief, the law does devolve into nothing more than an ugly power game.

Or, as Dr. Horrible once said, “Destroying the status quo, because the status is not quo.”

neo, AesopFan: I checked that error earlier. There was a missing space in the link html.

The intended link is:

It has an interesting history. It was written, like Kurt Schlicter’s first novel, assuming Hillary would be president. The author, Todd Henderson, is a law professor at U of Chicago law school. His book was suppressed for several years and only appeared this year. The publisher and Amazon both cancelled planned publication. The fact that the presidential character resembles Hillary is no doubt a coincidence.

Schlicter’s novel, “People’s Republic,”also does not come up on a title search even though it is popular. More Amazon manipulation.

The law firms are probably bigger sources of GOPe staffers. My point, is that there is a permanent shadow government, which unlike the British version, are often not in office but are in law firms and think tanks waiting for the call.

I am a fan of Cheney and have read a couple of his biographies. When Ford lost the 1976 election to Carter, Cheney did NOT look for a think tank to hide out. He packed up his car and drove to Wyoming where he ran for Congress. It was during that run that he had his first heart attack.
