Cracker Logic

1. Link Person A to his membership in an organization 30 years ago.

2. Quote Person B, who belongs to an entirely different organization, saying something in 2003.

3. Have no evidence of any of the following:

(a) That Person A knows Person B,

(b) That Person A knows what Person B said,

(c) That Person A endorsed Person B's statement,

(d) That Person had any association with Person B's organization at any time, or

(e) That Person A holds the view expressed by Person B.

4. Make no effort to determine Person A's actual views.

5. Attribute Person B's views to Person A.

Perhaps it's time the ABA reviewed its accreditation of a certain law school.
