Saturday's Tribune has a profile of County Attorney Candidate Tim Nelson, and it includes this bizarre endorsement from Governor Napolitano.
"You know it when you see it," Napolitano said at a campaign rally in May. "And I've seen it in Tim Nelson."
The phrase "I know it when I see it" is perhaps the most famous single phrase in Constitutional law. Every lawyer knows that the phrase is Justice Potter Stewart's test for obscene material. Pornography is protected by the first amendment, but obscenity isn't. So how can you tell if something is obscene instead of merely pornographic? You know it when you see it.
