today was a good day to be a law student...

It is 7:00 and I am still in the library (I've been here since 6:00 AM). I had almost 100 pages to read for my 5 classes tomorrow. I've been going so fast I've almost forgotten what I read the moment I move to the next paragraph...

And then...

There it was.

"The foregoing cases suggest that specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance."

I had no idea I was even reading Griswold v. Connecticut. The case that created the "right of privacy" upon which some of the most controvercial decisions of the century hinged.

I knew I'd be reading this crap someday, I didn't think it would be in my first year Criminal Law class...

If anyone would like... This is where I will explain why I think Roe v. Wade was a pile of crap.
