Professor Jack Balkin continues his fascinating discussion of Professor Bruce Ackerman's theory of Constitutional Moments.

I may be the only person here interested in this, but I still feel it mandatory to link it for you.

My previous discussions on this can be found here and here.

    Pursuant to the DOJ Administrative Manual Section 15740, the site you are trying to access has been restricted!

    I did note that your last post on this subject had some pretty erudite commenters.

    but Balkin does say something interesting:
    If anything, Wallace seems to have posed a threat to (and ultimately spoiled) the Democrats' victory.
    I disagree. There between 1948 and 1968 was 1964. A good bit of the "solid south" went to Goldwater--the Republican. Strom Thurmond swithced parties to back Goldwater and, in 1968, strongly endorsed Nixon. It seems to me much more likely that Wallace was acting as a spoiler for Nixon.

    but real life is interfering with constitutional fun in the sun these days.  Brain mush ...  sorry.
