I’ve added some more material to my post below, which criticizes Dahlia Lithwick’s Slate question “Does President Bush really want to be remembered as the guy who first used the Constitution to codify bigotry?” Key point: Questions like this, which simply assume that one is right and ask why the other side would want to be so evil as to disagree, don’t really advance the argument much — especially when most Americans actually don’t agree with the conclusion that the questioner is assuming.
