Of Heller, Roe, and Politics
Posted Friday, June 27, 2008 4:54 PM | By
David Barron
At least one leading
conservative
believes the court fell down on the job in
Heller
if it views its job as making decisions in ways that create political debates sure to help Republicans, adding further support for my
view
that the claims by some that the court's approach to
Roe
(bend it, don't break it)
thus far is best explained by a desire to keep that precedent alive for the purpose of ensuring Democrats lose. Jack?
