re: OJ. I did not watch the trial but I did watch most of the pretrial. I came away from that convinced that the cops were incompentent lying scum -- and, somewhat paradoxically, that OJ was guilty of the crime. The shoddy work of the cops and the medical examiners bothers me quite a bit more than OJ "getting away" with murder.
re: "the Final Word".
Levy: The U.S. Supreme Court is, and rightly should be, the final word on that question. Let’s give the court an opportunity to rule, and give the rest of us the benefit of the court’s collective judgment on a debate that concerns millions of Americans.
With "thinking" like that, I'm surprised he is able to operate the computer he typed it on. While it is quite possble that the "collective" judgment of 5+ members of the SC is "better" than that of millions of other people, it is not very likely. And as to being the "final word", I'm _very_ sure that that goes to those who are alive to speak it -- which won't be those who say the _wrong_ thing and _try_ to make it stick.
