I don’t, but I wonder if others would think that a comittment to individual rights is to be expected in a judge. If so then it is unnecessary to talk about it.

The absence of “support of individual rights” from the list for judge-appointees is truly shocking! There was a time when words such as “freedom”, “indiviudal rights”, “limited government”, “free market”, “liberty” had substance. When the American Founding Fathers used them, people had specific ideas and practices in mind. Today, those words are so thin on meaning in the minds of Americans that they are barely even flag-waving words used during political campaigns. However, as a thinker who is the first of their return, those words are, once again, given factual meaning, with deeper definitions by America’s moral philosopher, Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged, the most inspiring novel ever written…if you love your life on Earth. If you want to participate in talking up the Freedom Philosophy, Rand’s are the arguments you must learn. Those ideas win. There’s a reason Atlas Shrugged, published more than half a century ago, is today’s Number One bestseller at Amazon.com. Read, learn, enjoy!

I suppose it’s irrelevant to the substance of this post, but it does amuse me that Professor Dellinger was my professor of Constitutional Law when I was in law school and that I used to spend some time with Professor Adler, both drinking and discussing philosophy, when we were undergraduates together.
