The Washington Monthly

Framing is important, and this is right on...

The Washington Monthly:
"Generally speaking I don't have a big problem with O'Connor's tenure on the court, but when even Democrats start calling her a moderate, it moves the goalposts too far. They should be referring to her as a 'moderate conservative,' a 'mainstream conservative,' or a 'thoughtful conservative.' Anything like that is fine. But whatever they call her, they should make it clear that she's a conservative."
