A couple of days ago I charitably described Andrew Cohen's embarrassingly gushing celebration of Justice Sonia Sotomayor and her new book in The Atlantic as "treacly drool." It is not alone, accompanied now by a full court liberal press (NPR, CBS News, the New York...

This is a follow up to my post yesterday about Aaron Swartz. Patterico has the full details and documents. It's somewhat complicated. I'll try to summarize Patterico's research briefly.
