Lawrence Lessig Calls Glenn Greenwald's Critique Of Elena Kagan 'Absurd'

Right back at you with the fanning.



On the question of what to do, we on the left could stand to take a cue from the Tea Party, which isn't really a separate political party, but the Republican base. Whether they're actually legit or not (see below*), they sure are cleaning house and have Republican politicians jumping through hoops. It remains to be seen whether those left standing actually do deliver on their Tea Party 'oath' -- Scott Brown in Massachusetts seems to be trying to extricate himself from their clutches now that he's gotten the seat in the Senate.



The other thing is to watch Great Britain and this new coalition government, conservatives and liberals.



*There's a story going around that the DLC, which sees itself as benefitting from the current conservative Republicans being replaced in primaries by Tea Party candidates (in the Michelle Bachman mold), has been behind the Tea Party all along. Considering that the first thing that Obama and Rahm Emanuel did once in the White House was to go on the attack against Limbaugh and Palin, and has NEVER attacked actual Republicans in Congress or the leadership, makes the story plausible.
