Dershowitz on Rehnquist

I'm not sure what your problem is. I'm dead serious. I accurately 
catalogued Dershowitz's evidence of antisemitism. I applied the rules 
of evidence because they are designed to evaluate the reliability of 
evidence -- they are not mere formalities or technicalities. Their 
application to Dershowitz's evidence lent itself to ridicule because 
his evidence is ridiculous. If you have a better way to evaluate the 
evidence, use yours, but it seems to me that Prof. Dershowitz has 
accomplished his purpose when we have lawyers allowing that it's 
"fine to suggest Dershowitz support his allegations," but all the 
same they are "resonating here."

I'm done. The defense rests -- unless somebody who actually liked 
Rehnquist wants to take over.
