Your explanation was thoughtful and incisive. You must have some familiarity with how Cass and his wife Sam think.
Thanks — I really only know about Sunstein from the occasional articles that I’ve read about him but he seems to fit the stock character of the liberal academic fairly well and that’s mainly what I’m going on. His piece is nicely written and I give him some credit for giving the book a chance. I wonder if he decided to read it with the intent of writing about it afterwards. Now that I think about it, he may have been hoping that the book was really bad, propagandistic, retrograde, racist, etc. to use as a club or jumping off point against the confederate flag. OTOH, that might be being too suspicious.
