More conversation for later, but can I say I’m surprised no candidate — an anklebiter, a leading contender — has really taken McCain on on that yet – like the day he announced, which was oral-arguement day for that case…?

Newt gave a hard-hitter on the First Amendment a while back, but he’s not running, at least not now (maybe not ever). Mitt Romney has here and there…

I’d enjoy if Fred Thompson took this up after being part of it all on the McCain side in the beginning. That would be fun to watch and possibly instructive (and constructive).
