I'm surprised that neither The Post nor anyone so far on this thread noted a well known fact in these quarters: Sunstein's 2001 book, Republic.com (be sure to read the reviews at Amazon), got its name from this very website. He simply lopped off "free" from the title. Free Republic provided what Sunstein considered prima facie evidence that political websites needed to be regulated.

The solution he suggested at the time was that every political website be required by legislation to supply links to opposing viewpoints, which were to be prominently displayed on the website's home page. The idea was laughed out of tech circles and went nowhere.

Sunstein is definitely a dangerous fellow, a government regulator par excellence and an enemy of freedom.
