Sowell's letter to Lino Graglia

For Michael due to his Con Law Prof.

From p. 242-3 of A Man of Letters:

July 28, 1972

Dear Lino:
...

Coincidentally, I received in the same mail a letter from a reader of my Forbes column, who takes me to task for having let my "anti-abortion" bias cloud my judgment of Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The very possibility that my criticism of that case was about judicial activism, rather than the policy decision, seem not to have crossed his mind. In reality, I am one of the few people in America who does not have "the answer" on abortion policy.

....

A point made throughout his letters, the elected and therefore accountable legislature decides policy not unelected, unaccountable judges.
