		Warner Bros. production of "Virginia City", has often come in for its fair share of criticism over its smaller budget than other contemporary westerns had lavished on them at this time and of the classic cases of miscasting among some of the lead performers.
		Their easy rapport with Errol Flynn is a strong point of the film and is a real pleasure to see in "Virginia City", based no doubt on the fact that they worked more often with Errol Flynn on screen than with anyone else.
		"Virginia City" with its off beat casting, unusual conclusion which I wont give away for the benefit of those who haven't seen it yet, and the chance to see Errol Flynn ideally cast in his absolute prime, has indeed much to recommend it as entertainment from this period.

	Why the Battle for the Court Will Be Nasty by Brian C. Anderson, City Journal Summer 2002
		Virginia, the Warren Court established the current legal test for identifying racial discrimination that is lawful.
		Under the Living Constitution, race is a “suspect classification”; courts must give any laws or government actions that use race as a criterion “strict scrutiny” as to whether they are narrowly focused to serve only a compelling state interest and no other interest, and whether there are no colorblind alternatives available.
		“Otherwise,” Thomas points out, “we would have adopted the British approach of an unwritten, evolving constitution.” Second, originalists believe that high-court judges must base their decisions on the Constitution’s text and structure, as originally understood.
