I couldn’t bear reading Dahlia Lithwick in the New York Times this weekend after reading her “hug” piece on O’Connor in Slate. But Heather Mac Donald, mercifully (or mercilessly) did and I’m glad. Read Heather’s response here.

Also on SCOTUS: Andy McCarthy responds to Ted Kennedy on consultation nonsense. John Cornyn further hurts his own SCOTUS hopes by associated with us. We have an editorial up on what we’re looking for in an O’Connor replacement. And there’s lots more over on the homepage–on SCOTUS and more. Read and be well.
