Greetings from the West Coast

It's good to be back at Prawfs for the month to blog a bit about some issues I've been thinking about lately - like, can you really bring a class action lawsuit against Hebrew National for having insufficiently kosher hot dogs and could a piece of string really violate the Establishment Clause.

But before jumping into all that, I did want to say that most of my week has been focused on family and friends back on the East Coast.  Having grown up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the pictures and video from Sandy have simply been astonishing.  So I thought I'd post a short video shot by Casey Neistat who was out and about in New York during the hurricane.  I hope all of you back East are doing okay!
