[EL] What a Shock!

Jim,
We have fundamentally different world views as well as assessments of
the empirical evidence. We have had a number of exchanges on the list
and elsewhere over the years about these conflicting normative views and
views of the evidence, and I don't think that repeating that debate on
the listserv would be a good use of anyone's time. It is not that I
don't think you are unworthy of debate. It is that it all has been said
before. I am not sure if our CATO live debate from a few years ago is
still on the Internet. I'd be happy to reprise that debate at some
point in the future. But back and forth sniping on the listserv seems a
waste of time.
The fullest explication of my views on campaign finance appears in my
2003 book, /The Supreme Court and Election Law. /You can read the
chapter on campaign finance if you want to understand my full
views---though they have evolved in some significant ways since then. I
am planning likely another book length treatment to make my full case
for a political equality view of the First Amendment---one which
differs, by the way, from Justice Breyer's dissent in some important
ways. I hope when I can make my sustained argument it will convince many
people who might be on the fence on these issues. I certainly don't
expect it to convince you even in a book length treatment (much less in
a short listserv response).
Of course my views expressed on the blog or elsewhere are fair targets
for you, and you can respond however you wish. The reason I posted a
short note in response to you was that I did not want to leave anyone
new to the list with the impression that I agreed with your outlandish
and snarky statements. Beyond that, you have new lawsuits to bring (and
many to win, unfortunately in my view) and I have a book to write.
