Lessig on how the Obama campaign is "swiftboating" Obama

By Siva Vaidhyanathan

Very interesting.

Larry Lessig puts much faith in personal connections and faith of character. I often wonder if he's right about that. I can't help remembering back during Bush v. Gore when he maintained that his old boss Scalia would stand up for his conservative judicial principles and refuse to hear the case. Oh well.

Still, I think Larry is right about the damage that the surveillance bill and telecom immunity will do to Democrats generally and Obama specifically.
