Thomas & Kelo
Posted by Jonathan Bunch on 30 June 2005 | 2 responses
Apparently one of Justice Thomas’s quotes from Kelo is getting around. Via Volokh:
My friend and fellow lawprof Rick Garnett, who teaches at Notre Dame, writes:
Here’s an e-mail I got from a student of mine today . . .
I picked my 20 year old sister up from the airport today and she was wearing a fitted ringer t-shirt with a quotation from Justice Thomas’ dissenting opinion in Kelo on the front. When I asked her where she got it, she said from “urban outfitters.” I thought you . . . would appreciate knowing that Justice Thomas is officially “hip.”
They are referring to a copy of this t-shirt. Pretty funny.

Don’t be so naive; it has nothing to do with hip, and everything to do with UO being run by far right wingers who think Rick Santorum is the cat’s meow. They also were selling “Only old people vote” T-shirts before the election. Previously, they got in trouble with the ADL for selling T-shirts that said “EVERYONE LOVES A JEWISH GIRL” surrounded by dollar signs.
Hi, there –
My store is selling the Kelo dissent shirts via Cafepress. I wanted to let you all know that we are not in any way related to Urban Outfitters (but we are very hip).
Thanks,
Lisa
