Another debate has broken out on NRO, this one between Bench Memos regular Matthew Franck and Roger Pilon of the Cato Institute over the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit’s Abigail Alliance decision. Franck thinks the ruling was correct. Pilon begs to differ.
Pilon initially attacked the opinion in the WSJ (which I noted here).
Franck critiqued Pilon on Bench Memos.
Pilon defended himself with this NRO essay.
Franck returned fire.
Pilon offered an addendum.
And Franck offered a final response.
