And another thing...
Why is Glenn Reynolds/Instapundit such an Ass?
Seriously, for a man who claims gravitas on the right side of the spectrum, I found his comment today (here) offensive on many levels. First of course being I lack his ability to mock MLK and at the same time downplay allegations of the administration's potentially unconstitutional violation of the 4th amendment in a conscise single sentence - an ability possed only by the likes of Coulter and Malkin. Second, as someone who's right of center he should be skeptical of the expansion of federal power at the expense of individuals. Thirdly, let's just downplay the current allegations and at the same time make light of one of the most egregious abusers of civil rights (and cross dresser)- J. Edgar Hoover.
Of course Glenn is a law professor...(those who can't...)
You lost me dude...If I wanted flip hubris, I'd still be working on Capitol Hill.
