    "Judge Posner: I Never Said My Opinion Was Wrong"

WSJ Law Blog 
<http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2013/10/28/judge-posner-i-never-said-my-opinion-was-wrong/>:

    The line didn't get much attention until HuffPost Live's Mike Sacks
    asked Judge Posner about it in an interview that aired Oct. 11
    <http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/judge-richard-posner-live-interview/524ced9502a76017d900006a>.
    The reporter read the passage to the judge and asked him if he and
    the court got the case wrong. "Yes, absolutely," Judge Posner
    replied. Judge Posner doesn't mention the interview in his New
    Republic piece.

    So what to make of this latest turnabout? "I do not believ
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=56300>e it is credible given his
    Huffington Post comments," University of California-Irvine law
    professor Richard Hasen, an electoral law expert who was critical
    <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/18/AR2007091801572.html>
    of Judge Posner's opinion in Crawford, told Law Blog.

    Law Blog has put in a request to speak to Judge Posner.

The Law Blog makes the key point regarding the Judge Posner controversy 
<http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/10/23/why-judge-posner-is-right-on-voter-id-laws.html>: 
Judge Posner's /New Republic/ piece ignores what he told Huff Post Live.

Jonathan Soros 
<http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/28/us-column-soros-idUSBRE99R04F20131028>: 
"As Americans examine the astounding dysfunction of their government, 
gerrymandering is usually cited as the prime culprit. This narrative 
offers a compelling villain: venal politicians who draw district 
boundaries for partisan advantage or to protect their own incumbency."
