No matter how much we make nice, he is the enemy of our freedom.

I agree.

Reflecting a little more deeply on why the thinking of Hewitt and Eastman disturbs me on this -- just food for thought:

1. The more noticed Chemerinsky gets, the more likely his suitableness politically for a judicial role. 'Nuff said.

2. That moment between ego and honor when you have to stop and ask, Am I doing this to look right or because it's truly the right thing?

That said, I cherish Hugh Hewitt as a radio guy. If not for him, I'd likely never had heard Mark Steyn. But I don't buy the "noble princple" angle on this. It's pointy-headed ivory-tower principle, as any future victim of a liberal Chemerinsky judgeship would tell you.

Anyhoo, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
