New post at The Plum Line, responding to Dahlia Lithwick‘s fantastic explanation of just how bad the Roberts court has gotten. Basically my argument is that liberals have ceded the discourse on legal reasoning to the right, much they way they’ve ceded the discourse on taxes, in part because liberals don’t care much about what goes on in the courts. The right has been fighting this fight for decades; liberals are just waking up to it.
