Anne Althouse is so non-partisan that if the Senate were split 50-50 on a vote and she were the Vice-President casting the deciding vote, a quantuum rift would occur in the universe and the matter before the Senate would simultaneously be passed and not passed.
Ann Althouse is so non-partisan when she runs a gel, she uses the neutral electrode and nothing moves so when she wrote her thesis all footnotes were footnote number 1, and she footnoted articles (of speech) and punctuation.
Ann Althouse is so non-partisan, she won't use the word partison even to say how non-partison she is. She calls herself non-side taking half of the time and non-side giving the other half of the time.

 Law Dork @ Ohio State University Moritz College of Law   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Ann Althouse expounds on the "20/20" piece I and others (in comments) discuss here.
Althouse bases her entire analysis on one case, one "legend." Although there are many problems with the "20/20" piece, even if it were unquestioned truth, Matthew Shepard's death is not the sole motivation behind support for and passage of hate-crimes penalty enhancements.
Althouse, however, would seemingly have her readers believe Matthew's death -- or rather its "legend" -- is the sole murder of a gay man or lesbian woman allegedly motivated by the victim's sexual orientation.

 Ann Althouse - dKosopedia
In November 2005, Althouse was skeptical of Pajamas Media, a project intended by fellow conservative and libertarian bloggers to challenge the mainstream media with a blog-generated news service, and made plenty of critical posts to her blog.
Althouse never corrected the record, instead taking umbrage as well at the suggestion that, because of her phrasing, she wasn't a feminist, saying she was neither a feminist nor an anti-feminist, and said that Atrios and Echidne had misread her original post.
Atrios also took Althouse to task for questioning his site's traffic numbers, pointing to the fact that his hit counts clearly distinguish between new visits and page reloads and that the comments section does not impact those numbers to the extent that Althouse was implying.

 Patterico’s Pontifications » Althouse’s New Comments Policy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Althouse (10:13AM, Nov 26 comment) has specifically said she is not in the least interested in suing, but she wonders what the umbrella organization’s fiscal responsibility would be if someone did decide to sue one of the individual contributors.
You likewise suggest Ann is under no obligation to be “fair” — which means you think it’s fine that she shaped her post in such a way that it shows us in the worst possible light, and that she then refused to make a clarification once all the facts were in.
Ann made a series of comments that clearly were designed to give the impression that she was thinking about suing, and only later did she state specficially that she DID NOT intend to sue.

Ann Althouse: Joe, yes, it was interesting that he said he was "humbled" by being chosen.
Althouse: Would you please comment on the likelihood that Judge Roberts' work on behalf of the Justice Dept and the Bush administration might be at variance with his own judicial inclinations, especially with respect to things such as the First Amendment and free speech, as was implicated in Rust v Sullivan?
Ann Althouse: As I wrote on my blog today, I think there is a force of moderation.

 Tiberius and Gaius Speaking...: The Unbearable Lightness of Being Ann Althouse
I was recently thinking, "if only Ann Althouse would write a post that would highlight all the problems I have with her style and outlook on blogging and politics," and then she goes and does it.
Althouse didn't say she had decided not to listen to the immigration debate; instead she said that she hasn't read blog posts on the topic.
Althouse does not say that *all*, or even most, people who post on the topic are ideologues or that, among those who are, there is an equal degree of wrongheadedness on either side.

Althouse: I think that law professors who blog under a pseudonym figure that they are traceable and that it all counts against them if it's bad in some way.

 metacomments: Althouse Slams Door, Peers out Terrified   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Ann Althouse is a liar who did not expect to be caught and tried to bluster her way out of it when her fabrications were exposed.
So even the wingnuts think Althouse attacked Atrios out of a sense that she was losing face in her LGF fight -- and that she'd made a bit of a tactical error in calling for a "feminist" to defend her.
Althouse and her ilk are like some nightmare termite infestation; they'll bring the walls down around us unless they get professional help.

 Transparent Grid » Blog Archive » Ann Althouse: Is the Heat Justified?
Althouse’s commentary brought forth descriptions, such as, a “stupendous combination of dumb and sick.” The Left Coaster added, “Sad to say, the list of conservative law professor bloggers who aren’t a complete disgrace to the law profession and to humanity itself has been depleted further by 1.”
Althouse’s bio reveals that after getting her J.D. at NYU she clerked for a federal judge and then joined the firm of Sullivan & Cromwell (very male and very white, even when compared to other big New York firms).
I, for one, do not think Althouse lacks humanity (but her argument was crass) and I am bothered that seeming progressives went out of their way to launch ad hominem attacks against her on her blog.

 Alarming News: Ann Althouse has problems.
Ann has argued two things: (1) OSM was founded without a clear plan for its business or operation, and therefore looks amateurish in its pitches to prominent bloggers, and (2) the backlash she has faced from this criticism has been harassing.
Ann admitted that she hadn't watched the parade coverage, so she had no idea what we, the livebloggers, were seeing and hearing on CBS (NBC didn't cover the balloon incident at all).
All of this could have been avoided had Ms Althouse been willing to admit she was basing her entire post on reportage that came AFTER the fact and that we at the time had no access to, or knowledge of.

Althouse: Stanley Fish's bad analogy about Scalia's constitutional interpretation.
Ann, You seem to be making two points: 1) that Scalia believes that what matters is the original understanding of the delegates to the state ratifiying conventions that matters, and not the understanding of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention; and 2) that there is some clear distinction between "original understanding" and "original intent."
Ann, You say that "Scalia looks for original meaning which is not about what any particular individuals -- framers or ratifiers -- thought.

Althouse tries an experiment to see if she gets it worse from the Atriots than Pajamas Media co-head-fuckup Roger Simon, whom Atrios had earlier briefly posted about.
I think Althouse is clearly trying to shore up her wingnut blog street cred by bashing Atrios; she must be worried she's lost a bit of it by being on the outs with the Pajamas Media clowns.
The con law professor credential, with Althouse, seems to serve more the function of an antimaccassar--it keeps the oil from her head from spoiling the couch--rather than serving as the sign that she is actually educated in this topic.

See Ann Althouse, On Dignity and Deference: The Supreme Court's New Federalism, 68 U. 245, 245 & n.2 (2000) (presenting a list of newspaper articles from 1999 in which "[t]he conservative side of the Supreme Court" is characterized as a group of "'States' Rights' adherents").
See Althouse, Enforcing Federalism, supra note 10, at 819-20 (characterizing the Gun-Free School Zones Act as interfering with the preferences of the states that chose to deal with the problems of juveniles in a more benevolent way and as unnecessary to the states that preferred-and could enact-harsh criminal penalties).
See Althouse, supra note 41, at 686-89 (construing the Court's sovereign immunity doctrine as designing a "test period," in which the states and Congress, operating under the new doctrine, will generate evidence about their relative capacities and predilections and will thus create the context for the Court's future decisions).

 The Volokh Conspiracy - Althouse on Separation of Church and State.--
Ann Althouse takes on the Nation, which is becoming a gross parody of its former greatness.
In the course of effectively fisking Allen, Althouse several times says that James Madison in the 1780s favored Separation of Church and State.
As University of Chicago legal historian, Philip Hamburger, has shown in his history of the Separation of Church and State, none of the major framers favored Separation until about the election of 1800, when the Jeffersonians urged Separation to silence Northern clergy.

 SIVACRACY.NET: Perfect Storm of Assholishness: Althouse v. TBogg
I've been following Althouse for a while, off and on because she is allegedly one of the standard bearers of female law prof blogging.
All that I have defended Althouse on is her claim that TBogg makes plainly sexist remarks, and that his commenters don't call him on it.
I don't understand Ann Althouse at all, but she is right about this, just as people like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter can legitimately point out the hypocrisy of supposed leftists who call them bitches and whores.

 Fables of the reconstruction: "The Most Stupendous Combination of Dumb and Sick in Years."
Althouse, on the other hand, from what she seems in her posts about her past, was a bright woman who came into academia and just grew jaded with the whole business of being a good person.
In Althouse's case, she has the mind and heart that it doesn't have to be.
Althouse has possibly spent her entire professional life taking advantage of the "opinions differ on shape of earth" view that lends legitimacy to anyone willing to disagree with a city full of liberals.

 The Yin Blog: Ann Althouse on Kerry
Althouse has an excellent, non-partisan post on John Kerry that both raises and answers questions about him.
However, the questions that she raises are different from those that she answers, so it would be interesting to see what response there is to the former.
Althouse analysis is that regardless of what anyone else thinks about the relative merits of Boston College vs. Harvard, doesn't Kerry seem exactly like the kind of person who would think that Harvard is more desirable?
