Non-Sequiturs: 05.12.10

* Nate Silver, already one of the best writers/thinkers/statisticians alive, has totally outdone himself with this one. He has come up with a new stat: Value Over Replacement Justice. Look on his works, ye Mighty, and despair. [FiveThirtyEight]

* Kagan is boring (despite Lat’s attempt to nickname her “Lady Kaga”), so let’s start talking about that! [Mediaite]

* This morning, the Washington Post whined about the Harvard Yaleness of the Supreme Court. It should come as a shock to no one that I think the anti-elites should stash their pitchforks and sit this battle out. [True/Slant]

* The ABA is gearing up for the Divine Miss K. [ABA Now]

* Rapping about the law. No, I’m not doing it, my flow is so stuck that I could chug a gallon of Pennzoil and still be in danger of high viscosity and thermal breakdown. Instead, I’m talking about actual rappers rapping about the law. [Rap Genius]

* I can’t believe so many people are concerned that Faisal Shahzad received Miranda warnings. Don’t people remember that whether or not people say it, American citizens still have rights, Miranda Rights. [Infamy or Praise]

* I’ve got your “defective” constitution, right here. [Underdog]
