...renders the court's ruling a travesty. A welcome travesty, however. Because this time the lawless lawmaking was made in the full glare of publicity and with such obvious partisanship. (All seven judges are Democratic appointees; the selection to the court of five of them was strongly influenced by Dexter Douglass, a Gore lawyer who addressed the court during the dramatic oral argument.) And because its very outrageousness--rewriting the rules of a presidential election after the election--dramatizes the extent of judicial usurpation as has nothing since Roe v. Wade...

...since brought the eyes of the world into Sauls' courtroom. When reporters started scrambling to profile him, the judge didn't even have a ré sum é to give them. Instead, he handed out a list of friends who could vouch for him. Among his hunting buddies: Dexter Douglass, the courtly Floridian who is one of Gore's lead lawyers. Douglass says he gets no breaks in Sauls' courtroom, and so far that has been true. The legal arguments of the lawyers may be as well tailored as their suits, but the judge doesn't seem impressed.

Crew was my escape of choice until I managed to fall out of my top bunk and injure my knee. The Crimson became my primary distraction. As a photography editor I have seen amazing concerts from in front of front row, traveled all over Boston, spoken with almost all of the University's administrators and eaten many, many free meals.

...things were looking up. Toscannini's opened in the Square. Enter the Iced Vietnamese. I spent the summer after sophomore year working at Let's Go and walked to work most days from Somerville. Emerging from Dexter gate, I felt like a man who has been wandering in a desert and has just spotted an oasis. The sun was usually high in the sky already, and I squinted as I crossed the street.
