["Some courts have incorrectly used this exception to rationalize upholding a statute that criminalizes speech ... simply because their legislature passed a law labeling it criminal.

In the plucked-out, sung out
mode of dance,
where the eyes stare,
and the lips moisten,
and the soft pink hips
shake and let the light in,

and Herculean males
surrounded her,
and guarded her virtue
so that they could have her themselves,
I dreamed of her.
When the music shone red,
and voices were mellow,
and a thousand eyes
watched her twist and turn,
while she danced on the brand new,
Six ninety-five, all aluminum tables,
I wanted her.
But, after a while,
He entered,

Editor’s Note: As the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, it has become increasingly clear that Ukraine must be able to conduct military operations in Russian territory in order to effectively defend itself against relentless Russian aggression. Recent developments, such as the intensified Russian offensive to capture the strategic town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, underscore the urgent necessity for Ukraine to operate without geographical constraints.

An interesting and thought-provoking May 2, 2024, article (here) from the Rock Center for Corporate Governance asks the question whether the circumstances surrounding ESG are changing because ESG “is a luxury good”? (Hat Tip to Cydney Posner’s May… [read

Introduction
Although the first year of law school is weighted towards the study of common law subjects (contracts, common law crimes, property, and torts) with perhaps some civil procedure and constitutional law, most modern law involves statutes and regulations. This entry in the Legal Theory Lexicon provides a basic introduction to theories of statutory interpretation and construction with an emphasis on the three most basic approaches to statutory interpretation (textualism, intentionalism, and purposivism). As always, the Lexicon is aimed at law students… [read
