Non-Sequiturs: 12.02.11

* Charlie Rangel is brilliant. He’s bitched about this censure so much that some people might actually believe this punishment is an acceptable substitute for the expulsion he so richly deserves. [Los Angeles Times]

* Professor Stephen Bainbridge schools Judge Posner on Catholicism. [Professor Bainbridge]

* Crime dramas for every law student. [Legal Skills Prof Blog]

* Judge Reinhardt will not be recusing himself from the Prop 8 panel. Nice try conservatives. I’m sure liberals will keep it in mind when health care makes it to Clarence Thomas’s desk. [WSJ Law Blog]

* LSAT takers were down this October from last October. Sure, that still makes this October the second largest month for LSAT takers ever, but, you know, baby steps. [Most Strongly Supported]

* Phew, for a while there I was really worried that taking debutantes out horseback riding could lead to legal trouble. Fortunately, the only problem is the whole “GIANT PONCE” label that comes with having a horseback riding date. [Lowering the Bar]
