Falwell: Not Necessarily The Person That You Think

[Paul Finkelman]

much of Falwell's life was dedicated to undermining the establishment
clause, and indeed quite openly working for the establishment of his
faith as the official faith of America; it seems to me that any
discussion of his career is in the end a discussion about constitutional
law, unless Eugene, Will, and Sandy somehow think that on law, and
especially con law, is only about legal cases. If that is so then we
should just discuss Hustler.  

I have always wondered why Falwell (or any of those in his church) were
reading Hustler in the first place.

On this one I tend to agree with Will (unless we want to get into a
discussion of Falwell v. Hustler, one of the shining lights of our
contemporary jurisprudence!).

   OK, what are the LEGAL implications of Falwell's death? Or will the
list
just become all-argue-about-Fawell, all the time?
