I’m surprised that Eugene Volokh is surprised that O’Connor and Breyer vote together 70% of the time, the 8th most common pairing on the court. Breyer–as was proved yet again in his
As some of you may have noticed, I’m reaching the stage of frustration with the whole Nader thing I should have reached about four years ago. In a few weeks I should be reaching the “sputt
Michael Ignatieff has another mea culpa for his support of W’s Iraqi adventure. His previous apology back in March (no link, behind a pay-per-view wall) I recall only hazily.

(I was wrong, however, that there would be a unanimous ruling.) I think it’s reasonable to declare […]
From Ralph Nader’s campaign site: A semi-literate screed denouncing Michael Moore for fraternizing with Democrats and being fat. Classy.
Just back from the Farmer’s Market. Nader 04 campaigners were out in force, which is to say there were about five of them milling about. One approached me as I entered and asked who I plan to vo
