Side Note

I was watching the Colbert Report while diligently doing homework for the week, and Justice Thomas was mentioned on the show concerning a recent speech. Colbert summarized the speech as dealing with what Thomas called a "proliferation of rights." Colbert also briefly discussed the Justice's concern with differentiation between obligations and duties and the role those terms and others play in rights discourse. I thought it was interesting and pertinent that this story came through on, of all shows, the Colbert Report. Just thought it was good to share considering the Wellman book and other readings from this semester.
