Well, DUH!

For a while now, Jeffery Rosen has been one of my favorite columnists. I think he’s remarkably insightful, and he writes about legal topics with amazing fluency for a reporter. Which should only be but so surprising because, in fact, he is not a reporter. He just moonlights as the legal affairs editor of the New Republic. His day job is as a Constitutional Law professor at George Mason. That doesn’t make him any less interesting, or any less right, but it does make his legal acumen a wee bit less surprising.

Now, why can’t the New York Times take TNR’s lead and get someone actually qualified to discuss legal issues?
