3 down,
11 weeks until exams. I can't believe how quickly this 3rd semester is flying by, well, and how high over my head administrative law is still flying. It's starting to make a little more sense, though. Legislative veto? Check. Executive power of removal? We're getting there.
I'm ready to be done with the 4th Amendment in Crim Pro anytime now. We're at least moving out of the abstract, highly theoretical area of the exclusionary rule and into some more substantive, procedural aspects. The question of whether your garbage sitting on the curb is fair game for cats, dogs, your nosy neighbor and cops, or whether the cops can use heat-sensing electronics to figure out if you've got some high-wattage grow lamps nursing your sticky-icky to maximum THCness.
Evidence continues to be interesting although sometimes the classroom back-and-forth seems to devolve into the Horatio Sanz/Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, bit making fun of observational comedians. "Hey, I see something and then I tell you about it." I think it's time to start on flash cards for hearsay exceptions.
