The dissent's discussion of the taxing power is pretty lulzy:

Congress said "penalty." LOOK NO FURTHER GUYS.

As I was reading the case, I couldn't think of a reason for Scalia to cite to the dictionary, then...BOOM.

Outlined my brief. Now I just gotta hack it out, 10 pages of argument. Shooting for completion by Saturday.

Fucking LRW is taking FOREVER!

Fucking LRW is taking FOREVER!

Just don't leave it until the last minute like I did. I pulled an all-nighter, and then on my way to the bus station the subway broke down and I had to sprint the last 20 blocks with a heavy backpack and no sleep. I made it with two minutes to spare. (2L here)

Knocking out a metric fuck ton of my brief tomorrow. CSWS baby! The sooner we finish LRW, the sooner we can focus on the important classes.

THIS. I gotta spit this out by midweek and then I am just focusing on my doctrinal classes for 3 weeks. Probably one class a week, just burning what we've done so far into my head.

I think we need to create a CSWS Constitution to live by and pass on to future generations.

I re-invented the word "grinding."

[Bronck]

Gonna knock out a shitload of my brief tomorrow, brothers. WISH ME LUCK!

[JG7773]

Getting on that outline grind tomorrow and this weekend. I have a nice little break from LW and it is the perfect time to grind.

[MauriceGains]

Statement of Facts is down, unless I need to go back and add in more determinative facts. Argument has a general outline. Getting that shit done by Sunday evening, but I intend to put in at least another 15-20 hours in that time. None of what I did for the first memo last semester. 5 hours the night before it was due... I was lucky to pull an average grade. Never again bros. CSWS.

Legal writing is a farce.

[MauriceGains]

Legal writing is a farce.

It seems as if what we're doing is good practice for summer internships (externships? I don't know the difference, lol), but there's absolutely no need to grade them on a curve, if at all, considering that almost all of the folks in my class are performing at near-equal levels.

[gaud]

I hate this brief more than anything. I loved my memo, hate this brief.

[stillwater]

Sad part is I need to actually put in minor effort on this brief because I totally mailed in my last assignment.
