Strengthening Constitutional Self-Government

No Left Turns

Slagged by Brooks!

David Brooks, whom I know slightly and generally like, replies to my Weekly Standard article in his NY Times column today. I agree with Brooks that prudence is the core issue of governance, but dissent that "experience" in the sense he uses it is the only or the primary source of prudence.

I’ll borrow Ben Bradlee’s phrase from Watergate days: "I stand by my story."
