Ex-Justice John Paul Stevens Calls Civil Rights Act “Poorly Considered”

I have a new essay on Minding The Campus today with a title similar to this post’s, “Ex-Justice: Civil Rights Act ‘Poorly Considered.'”

I had suggested calling it “John Paul Stevens: Poster-Geezer For Selective Memory And Liberal Judging,” knowing full well that John Leo, MtC’s superlative editor, would likely find my suggestion beyond the pale of good taste and come up with something on his own. He did, and he did — even though I had carefully explained that Justice Stevens, at 91, was too old to call a poster boy.

Say What?
