MAULE HAS 'BEST LAW PROFESSOR BLOG'

December 30, 2005

Dr. Maule's blog "Mauled Again" won the "best law professor blog" award in Dennis Kennedy's "Best of Legal Blogging" awards. The runners-up were Paul Caron's TaxProf Blog and Tun Ying's (U of Iowa) Yin Blog.

Dr. Maule's post yesterday is a good example of his work. He takes on the Center of Budget and Policy Priorities for their opposition to repealing the phase-outs of itemized deductions and personal exemptions for high-income taxpayers. The CBPP's opposition to repeal seems to be entirely because these stupid phaseouts affect high-income taxpayers. Dr. Maule patiently explains why bad policy is, well, bad, even if it primarily screws the rich, and concludes:

It would be a shame if the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities continued to be duped, especially now that the PEP and Pease phaseout scam has been exposed and is on its way to a well-deserved but unfortunately slow-in-coming death.

All three of these top blogs are in our permanent blogroll. Coincidence? Well, probably, but if you want to be sure, a place on this blogroll could perhaps be purchased...
