Just read an entire college textbook on Original Intent.
Not the most entertaining read, but I labored through it.
And learned that Marbury v Madison was a lousily decided case. Never picked up on that fact through college, since I was focused more on the "establishing judicial review" aspect.
Nope. But I watch History Channel and Science Channel a LOT so I figure that counts for something.
That's very difficult to do for me. My ADD really kicks in whenever I start reading cases. See Stuart v. Laird (1803). See Eakin v. Raub (Pa., 1825). See Dr. Bonham's Case (1610). See The Federalist no. 78 (1788). See Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857). Etc., etc., etc. I'm reading every pertinent case to try to get a better feel for just one case. It's very difficult to read cover-to-cover in a textbook.
