Lex Anteinternet: A declaration.

A declaration.

I want the nation to know that, if I am elected President, I will rescind Nixon's pardon and seek that he's tried and convicted.

Yes, I know that there's no precedent for that, and I know that Nixon is dead, but that won't stop me. After all, Cromwell was beheaded after he was dead, and if our ancestral parliament can do that, I see no reason not to sentence Nixon in postmortem abstentia.

Pardoning Nixon, together with Reagan's Southern Strategy, are the two prongs on the fork of national disaster that have wrecked conservatism and given us the problems we now face.

Lex Anteinternet?

This blog has been around since 2009. In the very first post, we asked the question: "What the heck is this blog about?"

Our answer to the question was: "The intent of this blog is to try to explore and learn a few things about the practice of law prior to the current era. That is, prior to the internet, prior to easy roads, and the like. How did it work, how regional was it, how did lawyers perceive their roles, and how were they perceived?"

We also noted: "Part of the reason for this, quite frankly, has something to do with minor research for a very slow moving book."

All of this is still true, but the focus of the blog has changed somewhat. It now focuses on the era from 1890 to 1920 in general, rather than on the law and lawyers specifically, although that may be far from obvious. It's also become the location where we comment on anything we feel moved to comment on.

We hope you'll feel moved to comment as well. While we moderate every comment, so as to weed out Spam, we greatly appreciate the comments where they are offered, and hope to see more.

Thank you for stopping in!
