You must be referring to some other Glenn Reynolds.

B.A., 1982, University of Tennessee
J.D., 1985, Yale University

Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, Law, Science and Technology, Space Law, Internet Law

Professor Reynolds is one of the most prolific scholars on the UT faculty. His special interests are law and technology and constitutional law issues, and his work has appeared in a wide variety of publications, including the Columbia Law Review, the Virginia Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the Wisconsin Law Review, the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology, Law and Policy in International Business, Jurimetrics, and the High Technology Law Journal. Professor Reynolds has also written in the New York Times, Washington Post, Washington Times, Los Angeles Times, and Wall Street Journal, as well as other popular publications.

A member of the UT faculty since 1989, Professor Reynolds received the Harold C. Warner Outstanding Faculty Scholarship Award in 1991, and the W.

Looks like he's got a pretty good handle on the logic thing.

Same guy. Creator of instapundit. I guess you could say creator of instaputz too.

OK, 'trouble' could sound misplaced. More like an aversion. It fits his role in blogging to his market. I'm sure he has the capacity to clean-up pretty nice if it were demanded.

Those are some pretty long winded credentials though. If I didn't know any better I'd think I just got handed the ol appeal to authority gum drop.

This fellow was one my law school professors. Very smart and very popular with students.

you did, the idea that it is always a fallacy is wrong. assuming neither you, day, or i are constitutional lawyers, etc trusting our own opinions in legal matters or in this case legal/political matters is over his would be silly. Why do people hire lawyers? Now if you refute his argument equally credible evidence then you have a case against what he said, but what your doing now is attempting to dress an 'ad hominiem' in a differant shirt. Argument from authority is quite valid in some cases, esp law, if not why does precdent matter so much? you attacked the source rather than the evidence, not always in valid, but you did so with little other than your opinion. Again, if you have a law degree from Yale, this is a differant issue.

just a bored classicist's unschooled perspective though

sorry for the spelling.
hey, if you yell to your belayer saying "why charles III, you are quite possibly the worst belayer ever" will he throw his tea on you?
