      Jeet Heer Retweeted Isaac Chotiner

      Richard A. Epstein, the influential coronavirus contrarian, is the second worst person with that surname, but he's making a bid for the top spot. Chotiner's interview with him is, as one would expect, an intellectual slaughter.https://twitter.com/IChotiner/status/1244401479949025280 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Isaac ChotinerVerified account @IChotiner
      New Interview: I spoke with law professor Richard Epstein, whose controversial article on coronavirus circulated in the Trump administration, about why he believes many coronavirus models are wrong, and the dangers of sloppy science during a pandemic. https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/the-contrarian-coronavirus-theory-that-informed-the-trump-administration …

      If you think Richard A. Epstein's views on the coronavirus are wild, wait till you read him on the New Deal or civil rights.

      "Law and economics": right-wing law professors, with little expertise in economics, using jargon from that discipline to provide arguments for Republican judges to justify politicized decisions. It's been a highly successful grift & not surprising its shaping coronavirus policy

          The professor shouldn't have wasted his time arguing with mere scientists and such. The true argument could have been resolved by the masters of all known knowledge: conservative small business owners. There is no topic upon which they are not the *true* experts.
