Mr. Epstein is not currently enrolled at the University of Virginia School of Law, and I do not expect him to be an enrolled student in the future.

Trujillo told the same thing to Brian Beutler, who notices that the school’s application asks if applicants have “ever been convicted of any offense.” Epstein has been out of reach all day, but on his Facebook page he still claims to be a Class of 2012 UVA student.

“Every time I thought I was getting somewhere, they’d start speaking Spanish,” explained the chairman of the Ways & Means Committee, which oversees tax law.

Well today, Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo (R), the nativist congressman and one-time presidential contender, offered some advice: Endorse my English-only legislation. From Tancredo’s Sept. 17 letter to Rangel:

I am sympathetic to your concerns, and would like to invite you to co-sponsor legislation I introduced (H.J.Res.19) which would make English the official language of the United States.

While passage of this bill will do little to reform our hopelessly complex tax code – or assist you in escaping your current ethical dilemma – its passage may help ensure that future generations of Americans less wealthy than yourself can live in a country where they can use an ATM, call a customer service department, or shop at their local grocery store without having to find a translator or “Press 1 for English” as they must often do in the America of today.

Don’t hold your breath for Rangel to reply.
