Musings

Critical thinking (yet again)

David Margolick’s NYTImes review of Jeffrey Toobin’s new book on the Supreme Court makes a point that should be among those foremost in the mind of anyone critically reading history or watching a documentary: what sources does the piece rely on.

And this issue’s too often, well, ignored.

PS Love that Sandra Day O’Connor’s take on The Shrub is that he’s “arrogant, lawless, incompetent and extreme.” I second the motion.
