* Yes, Ted Cruz is making a fool of himself, running a Sisyphean race for president. But does that mean the founding fathers were right about that natural born citizen crap? (If someone born in Canada to an American mother is even what they meant by the phrase.) [Lawyers, Guns and Money]
* BYU’s Title IX problem: Are they making sexual assault more likely by linking honor code investigations to reports of rape? [Slate]
* Hooah! Army Captain Kristen Griest, one of the first women to earn a Rangers tab, will be transferring branches, becoming the first female infantry officer.

* Dear Mr. President: are you in favor of civil rights for gay people or not? Let me put it another way: do you think that you should be allowed to marry the fence that has been banging you for the last four years? [Huffington Post] * Here are the 15 law schools whose underemployment numbers are higher than their employment numbers. No lie, I was able to name eight of the 15 off the top of my head. [Tax Prof Blog] * Would you wear a hijab while defending the accused 9/11 terrorists? What am I talking about, unemployed lawyers running around out here would wear a clown suit and mount a goat if they thought it would help them get a client.

There is a crucial, ominous difference between then and now, though. Previous SAUSA jobs were generally aimed at entry-level or fairly junior attorneys. Now we've got a recent opening that's asking for more.… -

Career Alternatives for Attorneys: Stripper?From the Bar to the Pole
Most women who go to law school think that their advanced education will buy them out of taking their clothes off for money (unless, you know, it's partner money). But as a practical reality, stripper skills are very useful. For today's tale of a lawyer cum stripper, we have a young lady who has ended up stripping to pay her bills and law school debts.
