LEVEY BREAKS: Lying in Ponds has criticized WSJ OpinionJournal columnist Collin Levey because she didn't make a single positive Democratic reference in 2002. In today's column, she breaks through:
In the Ninth Circuit, Carter appointee Stephen Reinhardt returned to an earlier antigun opinion and deleted references to the work of Michael Bellesiles, the historian whose Bancroft Prize was revoked because of serious questions about the honesty of his scholarship.Granted, it's pretty weak (many are; that's why it's so difficult to avoid positive references to the other party!), but Ms. Levey commends the action of a judge who she identifies as a "Carter appointee". Humorously, this one column vaults Ms. Levey into second place with a Democratic partisanship score. This just shows that the rankings don't mean much until a few months of columns have accumulated.
