If you\u2019ve listened to me for any length of time, chances are you\u2019ve heard me refer to the three-by-five card of allowable opinion.<\/p>\n

As long as you stay confined to the range of opinions on that card, you\u2019ll be in good standing with the media and the establishment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun to observe someone who\u2019s never once strayed from that card confront ideas that are nowhere near it. Their brains genuinely do not know what to do.<\/p>\n

A spectrum of political options running from Mitt Romney to Hillary Clinton are all their brains are programmed to handle.

This happened recently with a 3 x 5 card fellow named Elie Mystal.<\/p>\n

He was outraged that Josh Blackman, a professor at South Texas College of Law, asked students on a constitutional law exam to consider some of the actions of Abraham Lincoln during the so-called Civil War, and imagine a scenario in which articles of impeachment are brought against a President Lincoln who survived the attack by John Wilkes Booth.<\/p>\n

Blackman asks students to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments raised in these hypothetical articles.<\/p>\n

Mystal is outraged at the exam questions, and proceeds to launch into a victimology routine: these questions are \u201cracist\u201d and disadvantage black students, etc.<\/p>\n

Some lawyer this guy would make! If he gets a case that makes him uncomfortable, he won\u2019t be able to represent his client effectively.<\/p>\n
