One of the many, albeit lesser tragedies of the O.J. Simpson case (the first one) was watching lawyer Alan Dershowitz — a man who had done much good, especially with regard to combatting racial and religious persecution — disgrace himself. I haven't always agreed with the Professor but until he joined Simpson's "Dream Team" of ambulance and spotlight chasers, I generally thought well of him. In that case though, he neatly discarded more credibility than most who pass the bar will ever have, and I'm not surprised that no one listens to him anymore.

Which is a shame because he wrote a fine essay here about how Justice Antonin Scalia deserves even less respect than either of them has these days.
