Somebody ought to let the Republicans on the panel know about Justice O'Connor's stance in that particular case. It was early in her tenure on the court and apparently, like others, her judicial mindset changed over time, but her opinion and Judge Alito's opinion were the same for that period in 1985 and their opinion reflected much of what many state laws said on the matter.

I'm sure the Oriental professor knew of Justice O'Connor's dissenting opinion in Tennessee v Garner and it's amazing that he was able to cite the Alito memo on the matter with a straight face.

Inscrutable.

Indeed, I concur. There is so much information flying by so fast, that repetition is really necessary in order to get a handle on the arguments.

The Garner case came up a couple days ago too -- here area couple links to links ;-)
