Over at Volokh, Dave Kopel reminds us that today’s the anniversary of the attack of Senator Charles Sumner by Senator Preston Brooks. While this was a rather one-sided affair (Brooks approached Sumner and began bashing his head with a cane while Sumner was still seated at his desk), I’m always a fan of celebrity boxing.

So which two politicans today would you like to see duke it out in a boxing ring? Personally, I think I’m gonna have to go with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Marshall: So this post is like 2 weeks old, but it’s still a fun question. I’d like to see Sen. Chuckie Schumer take on Sen. / Ms. Hillary Clinton. Call it a Big Apple Throw Down. And my money is on the Hillster.
