Bill Poser of Language Log asks
if the plain meaning of the [recess appointments] clause renders most recess appointments unconstitutional, why has this illegal practice been permitted to continue for so long and, apparently, without much controversy?
To me, this seems like another example of what Barnett calls
the presumption of constitutionality.
The wording of the clause has been construed to allow for the broadest amount of executive wiggle room, just as McCulloch v. Maryland construed the necessary and proper clause so as to give Congress broad leeway in determining the necessity and propriety of its own legislation. -

Seth Roberts thinks Priceless ads are the American haiku, and I'm inclined to agree with him. My favorite was printed in the Harvard Crimson a few years ago:
Four bleacher seats: $400 Twelve beers: $40 Two Yankees Suck T-shirts: $40 Getting arrested: $200 Knocking out a Yankee fan's teeth: priceless

I would suggest that the rate at which countries grow is substantially determined by three things: their ability to integrate with the global economy through trade and investment; their capacity to maintain sustainable government finances and sound money; and their ability to put in place an institutional environment in which contracts can be enforced and property rights can be established. I would challenge anyone to identify a country that has done all three of these things and has not grown at a substantial rate.
