Quickies: Film and Law of Land

XXY is a good foreign movie, well acted and a superior portrayal of the struggles of being a teenager (and not just for the lead), including the importance of having understanding parents (the dad discovers the need to trust to allow his child make a choice, but provide protection until it can be made). Its special subject matter is a hook, but it's good overall.

I'm not sure how hard it is to "think" that it is "a constitutional obligation of the President" to faithfully execute laws that are in one way or the other the "law of the land," treaty or otherwise. Too many appear to find it hard, even some for whom you expect it not to be, which sadly explains somewhat the enabling going on.
