Taking Dworkin Lightly

This is a badly needed book. Badly needed, that is, by George McGovern and Ramsey Clark. Professor Dworkin has tried to fashion a philosophy to vindicate a Gestalt. He would have us think that the knee-jerks of liberalism issue from cerebration rather than the circuitry of the liberal’s nervous system.

His knee is in good shape. He favors equality, integration, cross-district racial busing, reverse discrimination, the alleged rights of accused persons and homosexuals and pornographers and Communists (but not of property owners); he thinks the Warren Court was what the Framers had, or should have had, in mind; he hates Nixon, capital punishment, and the Vietnam War; he is all for civil disobedience, conscientious objection, and freedom of speech. He wants to redeem all these commitments with principle and logic.
