Should Eugene Volokh be tortured? Argument in favor: (derived from
this and
this)
- Some conservative law professors deserve to be dealt deliberate infliction of pain, with cruel vengeance.
- Why would our humanity be diminished by participating in the deliberate inflicting of pain on him? Why shouldn't one say that our humanity is diminished if this conservative is allowed to continue to teach law? (and continue to blog)
- The soundness of this position cannot be proven. In this area, it comes down to moral intuitions and visceral reactions.
- Many people, it seems, have a natural desire to inflict pain on conservative law professors.
- There's nothing wrong in following emotions, and it's sometimes bad to resist them.
- Risk of Error: There will be no errors. Conservative law professors identify themselves as such.

Pay no attention to him. He's just building his resume for a position in Justice Department.
I read some of this guy's site, and ok, I get it, but this post wasn't very clever or informative.
Clearly this guy needs to be exposed but this isn't the way to do it.
