I’ve been blogging in some form or another since 2003, when I installed Movable Type on my own domain. I wrote mostly about the news and politics. Those were trying times for the United States and for liberals in general, who were expected to toe a certain line or else be branded as treacherous. I didn’t consider myself a “liberal” back then, though; I thought I was a “centrist.” I wasn’t, of course, and eventually I realized that.

Times are trying once again. I named this blog “The Liberal Notebook” because I am, myself, a liberal, and because I would like this to serve as a notebook of sorts. Because I’m a lawyer, there will probably be a fair—but not exclusive—amount of legal content here. Stay Tuned for more.
