On Double Standards

Interesting U.S. News & World Report article by John Leo, Double-standard trouble, which notes that “The Republican threat to invoke ‘the nuclear option’ to break the Democratic filibuster over judicial nominations has brought a mother lode of double standards. For example, law Prof. Erwin Chemerinsky of Duke coauthored a strong antifilibuster law article in 1997 when Republicans were obstructing Democratic court nominees but a strong pro-filibuster argument to meet the current debate.”
