Lex Anteinternet: Pride and Unintended Consequences and the really unknowable views of Donald Trump.

So, yesterday, we ran this:

Lex Anteinternet: Pride and Unintended Consequences.: Yesterday, I ran this item, which noted the following: Lex Anteinternet: On Pride Month, the nature of Pride, and compellin... : All of thi...

Which included this:

Wyoming Lawmaker Calls For Boycott Of Businesses That Sponsored Casper Pride Fest

Discussing how Casper House member Jeanette Ward proposes to boycott businesses that supported the Pride event in Casper.

Today we read that former President Donald Trump has opened up the door to the "Miss Universe" contest to "trans women". Setting aside the entire trans debate, and focusing only on political stances and boycotts, does the far right, or at least those who have endorsed Ward's approach, now boycott Donald Trump?

To not do so would be, of course, hypocrisy.

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!
