Judicial independence

ColumbusGuy isn't the only one who admires Hentoff. The Powerline boys have a nice post on the fillibuster building on him, too. Key sentence:

[U]nless opinions are analyzed in good faith, with an eye towards the judges' full body of work and a willingness to accept some opinions one doesn't like, it represents an attempt to discourage independent judicial thinking.

I just have two comments, guys. First, it's not MSM; it's Manhattan Media. Let's not give them universality that they don't deserve, and let's do give them the parochialism they do deserve.

Second, is it just me, or do their icons smack of phallocentrism? (Don't ask me what's up with that Mirengoff guy. That owl is straight out of Neverland.)
