Prof. Carpenter Quoted in The Daily Beast on Obama's Constitutional Law Comments

Professor Dale Carpenter was quoted in The Daily Beast in an article entitled "Obama's Comments Remind Us How Meaningless 'Judicial Activism' Is." The article stated: "I think the president misspoke when he suggested that any 'duly constituted and passed law,' following the form for lawmaking, is constitutional," wrote Dale Carpenter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. "That would mean that Brown v. Board, Roe v. Wade, and Lawrence v. Texas were all instances of activism, and I'm pretty sure the president doesn't believe those decisions were activist."
