A NICE RECOMMENDATION FROM QUIN HILLYER OF THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR: Books! Books! For Christmas, for the Reader You Love:

Rehabilitating Lochner: Defending Individual Rights Against Progressive Reform, By David E. Bernstein call to arms for libertarian constitutionalists, this is an excellent, eminently readable (and sometimes persuasive) history of how the “progressive” legal movement hid its original racism, stole the image of liberty lovers, and undermined the proper reading of the Constitution.

THE 21st CENTURY IS NOT WORKING OUT AS I EXPECTED: “Next Thursday, I will get a vagina. The procedure will last around six hours, and I will be in recovery for at least three months. Until the day I die, my body will regard the vagina as a wound; as a result, it will require regular, painful attention to maintain. This is what I want, but there is no guarantee it will make me happier. In fact, I don’t expect it to. That shouldn’t disqualify me from getting it.”

PATENTLY OFFENSIVE: Inventor accuses Patent Office of unconstitutional blackballing.

An elderly tech inventor is accusing the federal government of personally targeting him to block him from patenting his life’s work.

Anyone who uses a computer or television has enjoyed the fruits of Gil Hyatt’s labor. He has pioneered technology and computer programming used by Panasonic, Sony, Philips, and Toshiba. He poured the licensing fees back into the lab where he has continued his research for decades. But beginning in the mid-1990’s, Hyatt said the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) began enforcing a blockade against his patent applications. The agency, his suit claims, went so far as to create a dedicated group of regulators committed to delaying numerous applications until the 80-year-old inventor expires.

“The PTO founded what the agency calls the ‘Hyatt Unit’ in 2012 for the purpose of miring all of Mr. Hyatt’s applications in administrative purgatory until Mr. Hyatt gives up or dies,” the suit says.

Prediction: Even if this is proved to be true, no one will be fired.
