Eugene Volokh: You know, it's difficult--I'm not a historian of the Civil War but one thing that's interesting is that everybody agrees that Lincoln was perfectly entitled to hold enemy soldiers without providing them with lawyers or a trial or whatever else.
Eugene Volokh: Well, again I'm not a historian in the Civil War but there were some who essentially were northern critics of the war effort who were exercising their First Amendment rights in an environment where there were still elections that were going to be happening where criticism of the government was important.
Eugene Volokh: One difficulty is especially when you're talking about a national security and especially when you're talking about a great uncertainty, it's hard to prove that there's a need under traditional standards of proof.

Eugene Volokh: Well, the Supreme Court said that with regards to certain of the detentions but, at the same time, the bottom line isn't that the president may never detain people during wartime.
Eugene Volokh: No, that can't be right, in part, because then they could say well, we don't like what Erwin is doing, he must be in cahoots with the terrorists.

A native Russian, Eugene Volokh left his country for the United States at the age of seven and used his superior intellect and passion for the law to become one of the nation's leading authorities on the first amendment.
Volokh for his part doesn't scoff at this, but rather views it as a trade-off; as far as he's concerned, his adult life has more than made up for any sandbox time he might have placed out of.
Volokh is, as previously mentioned, a prolific publisher of law-related articles, many of which have to do with the First Amendment.

 Matthew Yglesias: Tenured Radicals
Eugene Volokh -- in all apparent seriousness -- thinks it's a very bad thing that the United States does not follow the Iranian practice and brutally torture convicted criminals purely for the purpose of making them suffer before they are executed.
Volokh notes that even torturing and killing a man who raped and killed dozens of children is, from a certain point of view, "ridiculously inadequate." Which is quite right and entirely part of the point.
Eugene Volokh has an interesting post going the subject of savagery in capital punishment.Something the Iranian Government and I Agree on: I particularly like the involvement of the victims' relatives in the killing of the monster; I think that if he...

Guests include Eugene Volokh, law professor at the UCLA Law School; Akhil Amar, law professor at Yale Law School; Matt Nosanchuk, litigation director of the Violence Policy Center; Trish Gregory, NRA spokesperson, and various listeners on the call-in show.
Volokh: Even today, if you are between ages 17 and 45 and a male citizen--although I think that given the Supreme Court's sex equality jurisprudence, it includes women as well--you're a member of the militia under the 1956 Militia Act. The militia doesn't mean the National Guard.
As Professor Volokh references later on in the broadcast, both arch liberal Harvard Professor Lawrence Tribe and Sanford Levinson in The Embarrassing Second Amendment (Yale Law Review), have taken the position that the Second Amendment means exactly what it states, and that it is an individual right.

 Kieran Healy’s Weblog » Blog Archive » Eugene Volokh hits the Eject Button   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Eugene Volokh says he’s not going to comment about the torture memo, which has already been discussed in detail by a number of well-known law bloggers.
First, Eugene is well known for his willingness to consider pretty much anything with a cheerful open mind and a bunch of snappy hypos.
I think that Eugene’s post from 2002 shows, in outline, what the torture memo might have looked like had it been written by government lawyers who were genuinely concerned with the question at hand rather than with writing a brief on how the President could circumvent the law.

A bona fide "whiz kid," Volokh took his first linear algebra classes at UCLA when he was 10 years old, entered the university as an undergraduate at 12 and graduated with a math and computer science degree in 1983.
Volokh then clerked for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor before returning to UCLA School of Law as an acting professor in 1994.

 Pharyngula::Volokh's question
Eugene Volokh asks, "Is evolution a threat to religious belief?" His answer is confused, and the more he thrashes around, the more he muddles his argument.
In answer to Volokh's question about whether evolution is a threat to religious belief, I'd have to say yes, it definitely is, to most forms of religious belief.
Volokh is in that business), the word "proof" is often used as a synonym for "evidence." Trial lawyers, for example, "put in their proof," which means that they submit their evidence to (or in) a court.

Volokh is a) using nothing other than emotion here (it would just feel so good to torture the motherfuckers!), and b) completely overlooking the unavoidable possibility that this kind barbaric behavior would be abused.
Volokh is not the Weekly World News, he writes a blog that many people take quite seriously and use to argue for the high quality of online 'journalism' (or at least reporting).
Volokh's reputation has been damaged by this entry, but that doesn't mean a crushing blow has been landed against blogs in general.

Volokh may be an exception, but it is hard to find people on the right, or in the Republican party, willing to stand up and speak out.
This is par for the course for Volokh.
Reading Volokh in context, it appears to me that that is a gross misrepresentation, and that Volokh is apologizing for being too squeamish to write about torture, which is not at all the same thing.

 Foreword   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Eugene's expertise and knowledge has marked him as one of the leading specialists in the field of the HP3000 software.
The conclusion Volokh draws is that no system can give complete safety, but much computer crime that succeeds does so because security is neglected until it is too late.

Eugene, you and I agree that the government cannot constitutionally direct movie studios not to employ Sean Penn or radio stations not to play the Dixie Chicks.
In my view, the government may not fire or refuse to hire an individual because of her political views unless she has abused her official position or is in a policy-making or national security position.

I just got back from Eugene Volokh's talk on "Freedom of Speech vs. Workplace Harassment Law." Perhaps unsurprisingly, he's as persuasive in person as he is online.
The big news is that Volokh has been offered a visiting professorship at Stanford Law School, which may turn into a permanent post.
I think he and Ying Ma (one of his co-bloggers) were the organizers of Volokh's talk.

 The Reality-Based Community: CRITICISM AND SELF-CRITICISM Eugene Volokh
Eugene Volokh has a characteristically clear-minded post on one of the charcteristic differences between left and right (in this case, I think, a difference that carries over from liberalism and conservatism in their traditional forms).
It's a matter of overdoing, or underdoing, the natural human preference for that which is one's own: self, family, party, country.
It also helps explain the liberal overrepresentation among academics: the academic norm of disagreement is congruent with the liberal norm of self-criticism.

Although Professor Volokh professes to be committed to civility and nice manners, his actual preference is to encourage his right-wing readers to sling the slime, as I had the misfortune to discover a few weeks back.
Eugene Volokh, quite predictably, came to the defense (at least of the anonymity) of his fellow blogger, the pseudonymous "Juan Non-Volokh," after I shredded him a few weeks ago for his misreadings and bad arguments.
Professor Volokh's post in response feigned his usual benign posture (he said it wouldn't be "nice" to expose Mr.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the hell Eugene Volokh is talking about in this post, which is a roundabout defense of Mary Daly's position about men that I've outlined here.
I'm not sure how Volokh is spinning that sort of statement to claim that this would be non-bigoted.
Even Daly herself with the line about people being afraid to say that kind of stuff seems to recognize that she is advocating something likely to be perceived as bigoted.
