My daughters have their own blog. Apparently some readers are unclear on the fact that Maddy is 11. Occasionally, the comments go way over her head. Here's a portion of this morning's comment:
4) How do you feel about the diversity rationale set forth by the Supreme Court in their opinion on the Grutter case? Is there any merit in seeking diversity, or is a homogeneous student body just as good or better than a diverse one?
Maddy is unlikely to respond appropriately.

Does this mean that it would be a bad idea for me to post a comment askng Maddy if she thinks it is wise for courts to allow personal jurisdiction to be conferred by consent, while refusing to apply the same rule to subject matter jurisdiction?
On a totally unrelated note, I was pleasantly surprised to see Otto use the words "blogger" and "reasonable" in the same sentence. It's comforting to know that he does not consider the two concepts to be completely antithetical.
