That's what I hate about Levin. He talks about the Constitution for hours, but he won't criticize The Patriot Act, GITMO, or any abuse by law enforcement.
I suspect he's personally a solid civil libertarian. But talking about the 4th & 5th Amendments on the air sounds "liberal" to yokels and would be bad for business.
As AG he would only act in a Constitutional matter. As a host... I can’t speak for him but his time at Justice under Reagan was stellar.
