Someone please ask Kagan about the Curvature of Constitutional Space! How will she use Einstein's theories of relativity, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle and quantum theory in interpreting the Constitution? How is Constitutional Space curved anyway?
Obama analyzed and integrated Einstein's theory of relativity, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, as well as the concept of curved space as an alternative to gravity, for a Law Review article that Tribe wrote titled,"The Curvature of Constitutional Space."
(Man, that really should be satire, but its not.)
The two greatest liberal minds - Lawrence Tribe and Barack Obama - think there's something important there. If Frank Tipler calls it "crackpot physics", what does he know - hmmph, he's just a physicist, not a Harvard lawyer.
The media always calls Tribe brilliant. Sounds like another liberal myth:
Professor Tribe, it appears, made it really big in academic law by writing trendy postmodern articles like "Toward a Syntax of the Unsaid: Construing the Sounds of Congressional and Constitutional Silence," "The Constitution in Cyberspace," "Toward a Metatheory of Free Speech," "Trial by Mathematics," and even "Seven Deadly Sins of Straining the Constitution through a Pseudo-Scientific Sieve," which turned it all into self-parody, because pseudo-science is exactly what made Larry Tribe's big reputation.
I'm guessing it all boils down to seizing the words uncertainty and relativity and concluding we can't be certain what the Constitution says but we know its relative to the times so we can just make up whatever the hell we want and call it Constitutional. There, I'm just a bean counter and I think I have it figured out. |
