CharleyCarp notes in comments that yesterday was the birthday of chief Justice John Marshall, who gave us judicial review of federal and state laws, the doctrine that the federal government can do things that further, but are not explicitly included in, its enumerated powers, and various other constitutional doctrines whose importance is hard to overstate. He was 250 years old yesterday.
Happy (belated) birthday!
hilzoy posting photos with drop-shadows now! Very impressive. If your career in bioethics/academia ever goes bust, you may have a brilliant future in graphic design. And, of course, happy 250th CJ Marshall.

I read Josh Marshall (TPM) and wondered about the picture ;)
