Gregg Easterbrook calls YLS prof Stephen Carter "the nation’s leading public intellectual" and says he's "a fine candidate for a Supreme Court opening."
Carter was one of my favorite professors at Yale, in part because he was one of the few who seemed to take his job as a teacher seriously. I don't agree with every policy position he's taken, and I think his novels, while well-crafted, are ultimately unsatisfying. But there's no denying that he'd bring to the bench a serious work ethic and deep regard for the rule of law.
