This is kind of strange, because Lessig is actually quite a bit to the right of Obama. His work on bringing copyright back to the original constitutional intent, trying to reign in a Congress that has legislated beyond its granted powers, has been quite extensive.
It’s a sad sight to see Conservatives shift into blind defense of entrenched interests instead of shifting toward constructionist Constitutional positions, Lessig’s position on copyright echoes that of both Jefferson’s and Madison’s circles, yet we have Republicans defending Disney Co. by destroying the cultural heritage of the nation.
This is how Republicans will permanently destroy their own party, alienating two generations of young people by attacking Lessig’s work to attack Obama.
