but, despite the fact that in the NYTimes article he comes across as a patholigcal depressive, nothing of what he said, as quoted in either article

dispells my concerns about his conservative attitude towards jurisprudence.

"Too much focus on rights."? Which apparently include the right to have "air conditioning, cars, telephones, televisions."?

Typical anti-liberal straw-man argument if you ask me.

        Thanks. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:29
    - the quotation mark should've followed 'much', as in 'too much "focus on rights"' - znufrii Apr 13, 12:11 2
      - You're trying to attribute the "too much" part to him when those are your words and not what he said. - Stephen Apr 13, 12:17 1
        
        If you want to argue on the merits of the inference, please do so. I've already conceded the point on the specific quotation. - znufrii Apr 13, 12:21
