” Keeping out would-be immigrants from bona fide countries was not”

I thikn the concept of ‘bona fide country’ in post-colonial africa is a bit of a joke. Specially when some of these — including, say, Lesotho, were drawn by south africans.

Of course, once we start getting into whether these borders were drawn by using the force of the ones now putting up the fence, we just open a can of worms…

Creating new quasi-country “homelands” was part of the apartheid system. Keeping out would-be immigrants from bona fide countries was not. To argue otherwise is to define the word apartheid out of existence. Every nation in the world practices some degree of “apartheid” with respect to noncitizens.

“Did you hear that KFI is erecting billboards in L.A to combat the KESQ Mexico ones?”

I wonder if clearchannel owns those too.

Wasn’t at least part of south africa’s apartheid system a system of border controls imposed on the bantusans that they had carved out for black africans? Countries like Lesotho?

Most of my profs were better, but then again, so is Bainbridge on most issues. For some reason guns, SUVs and border controls all turn an otherwise sensible conservative into an instant moonbat.

My experience with law professors at major law schools is well: underwhelming. Volokh is OK – so I agree.

This being said by a former professor at USC School of Dentistry = Flap and having attended both Loyola and Southwestern Law Schools.

Have you ever been to SA? Lovely country and great beaches but watch out for the sharks!

Kim du Toit was arrested for protesting apartheid. I undertand it was not a long stint, but it makes me think he neither approved of, nor benefitted from apartheid.

Carter: Sr. Xrlq is a professor, too, and he mows his own lawn, not to mention fixing his own cars and just about anything around the house that happens to be broken. That excuse won’t wash.

John: was Kim du Toit imprisoned in SA? Why?

Actus: your quarter-truth was not among the ten options you had to choose from, wasn’t entirely true, and would have been among the nine incorrect (read: irrelevant to the definition of apartheid) answers even if were. No soup for you!

Flap: I expect much better from a conservative law professor at any major law school. Eugene Volokh teaches at UCLA Law, too, and I can’t see him saying anything half as knee-jerk or stupid.

Professor Bainbridge says only obey the laws you a

Sort of embarrassed to have to correct a Professor but maybe Professor Bainbridge should review the definition of Vigilante? Perhaps when he understands the definition he can volunteer to educate President Bush. Because neither of them understand the…
