My brush mit greatness (alias D. Connaughton) on Eve Tushnet's blog. Also: who knew?
Interesting blog-o-rhythmn from Amy Welborn:
Feminist Brenda Walker is arguing that multiculturalism is a threat to liberal values and social freedom and refered to current and future immigrants such as 'conservative Catholics and Moslems'."
Conservative Catholics? Gee, she couldn't mean Hispanics could she? Why doesn't she just come out and say it then: "You know, our right to get our unborn babies killed might just be threatened if we let in too many Mexicans." I hate to bring this up, but one of the dark sides of 19th century women's suffrage movements was a distinct nativist tone to much of the argumentation. The push was for middle class Anglo-Saxon women to be able to vote in order to balance out the waves of African-Americans and mostly Catholic and Jewish immigrants.
