Bell on Sandefur

Old LRC post:

Bell on Sandefur

Posted by Stephan Kinsella on October 17, 2006 11:03 PM

Law professor Tom Bell critiques Tim “a billion lives for a single slave’s!” Sandefur’s latest Lincoln idolatry screed. My comments to Bell’s post are below, in case they get … misplaced:

Professor Bell,

Your comments are reasonable. Lucky Sandefur’s reply was so measured–I was waiting for him to call you a neoconfederate or apologist for slavery.

I too had a few civil email discussions with Sandefur in the past, and some substantive disagreements (e.g. here, here and here) but eventually he adopted the Catoite line of attacking those who disagree with his Jaffaite Lincoln idolatry as “neo-confederates” and the like (see here; some replies here and here). I guess Sandefur is too timid [read: cowardly] to call you a neoconfederate slavery-lover for your views, though he must be biting his tongue.
