Posted by Orin Kerr: Rudy Giuliani and the Authoritarianism Question: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_12_30-2008_01_05.shtml#1199298150
I very much appreciate [1]John McGinnis's libertarian case for Rudy Giuliani. At the same time, it seems to me that there's an obvious counter-objection to Giuliani from a libertarian perspective: Many consider him the most authoritarian of the Republican nominees and the least concerned with the Rule of Law. (To get a flavor of the critiques, consider [2]this video exchange between Megan McArdle and Dan Drezner. For a particularly harsh critique from a left perspective -- over the top, in my view, but worth mining for evidence amidst the rhetoric -- see [3]here). I'd be very interested in hearing responses to these concerns from libertarianish Giuliani supporters.
