I don't even remember my own torts exam
Heh. University of San Diego law prof Tom Smith calls bullshit on Judge Calabresi for waxing poetic on how brilliantly lucid Judge Alito's first year torts exam was 30 years ago.
The technical term for this phenomenon is "confabulation." I mean, seriously. A first year torts exam from thirty years ago? I can barely remember my own life thirty years ago. I took torts from Guido and actually attended many of the classes, and I remember it only vaguely. I have not the faintest recollection of what I wrote on my exam. Guido is much smarter, richer, and more accomplished than I, but I simply do not believe it. And I say that as a Catholic, a Republican, a middle aged novice surfer, and someone whose spouse still tells him he is good looking, i.e., a person prepared to believe a lot of improbable things.
Prof. Smith is usually pretty funny notwithstanding his wingnuttery.

I don't trust anyone named Guido.

You liberals are just showing your anti-Italian bias again;)
