Legal Commentary

Wednesday Morning Open Thread

By Big Tent Democrat

Why don't I discuss the Polanski case? Mostly because I do not know enough about it. Second, because even if I did, I doubt I would have much worth saying. Third, it does not strike me as an important public issue. It's not like however Polanski is treated here is going to affect public policy. He is sui generis. Fourth, I love Polanski's films and I would rather not think about how I feel about how his art may affect my views on this issue. Lastly, celebrity justice stories have never interested me.

Now if you want to discuss an actual important issue, like whether Tim Tebow should play against LSU on October 10 (he suffered a serious concussion last Saturday), I am game. Let me surprise you all and say I think he should probably sit out that game at least, if not more games. Better safe than sorry.

This is an Open Thread, and of course, the views expressed above are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the NFL, the NCAA or TalkLeft.
