Here we should be thankful that Kennedy is a liberal. Instead of immediately writing off international law as irrelevant and advocating an all-powerful executive (as would, say, John C. Yoo ’89 of torture memo notoriety), Kennedy concludes that nations should rather weigh ethical considerations outside of the bounds...

In a memo he wrote to Karl Rove, Bush pollster Matthew Dowd estimated that truly independent voters had fallen to a mere sliver of the electorate. There were, Dowd concluded, not enough percentage points in being "a uniter, not a divider." The key to winning in a polarized country was mobilizing the conservative base.
