Infinite MonkeysNever been a big fan of Hugh Hewitt's buddy and "Smart Guy" guest, Duke law professor Erwin Chemerinsky. I can say I've actually developed a hearty dislike for this contemptible waste of human excrement, especially since his hateful rant against then California Supreme Court Justice Janice Brown. To me he has always been nothing more than a partisan hack.
Then I see a little blurb today in Best of the Web that Erwin is representing the parents of Rachel Corrie suing Caterpiller because their daughter jumped in front of an Israeli Cat bulldozer trying to bulldoze a home suspected of being a cover for a terrorist weapons smuggling tunnel. The dumbass didn't get outta the way of the Cat and got crushed. And now there's Erwin, so consumed with his own hatred he is pretending this case has something to do human rights violations.
According to Erwin, "This is a case about direct commercial sales . . . It's about holding corporations liable when they aid and abet violations of human rights."
No, Erwin, it's about you aiding and abetting terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.
Caterpillar sold Israel a bulldozer. Corrie would not get out of the way and the driver didn't see her, and in Erwin's fevered, hateful little brain, Caterpillar is violating human rights? Bullshit.
God I dislike him.

Posted by: Guy at July 15, 2007 05:37 AMI assume that Ms Corrie could get out of the way faster than the bulldozer could avoid her. It is the same principle used in car-train collisions.
