re: President Carter’s ‘Fraud’

I’ve probably never done this before, but I’m going to leap to the defense of Jimmy Carter. This legal action against him is the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit. If plaintiffs had to pay costs when they lost lawsuits, we wouldn’t see nonsense like this.

I haven’t read Carter’s book. I’m sure it’s awful. But it’s a book: either don’t buy it in the first place, argue with it, or use it to line your bird cage.


By the way, Carter hasn’t been “officially charged with fraud.” He has merely been accused of it. Big difference.

John J. Miller, a former national correspondent for National Review, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
