It is, in a sense, a pathetic spectacle: an aging English professor
driving a Jaguar to compensate for who knows what deficiencies and
making ad-hominem attacks on free-speech supporters because, in the end,
he really has nothing to say on the subject. A well-known and widely respected
constitutional law scholar, he writes clearly, probably doesn't
publish his first drafts, and refrains from ad-hominem attacks. |
