Might want to drop this a$$hole a line, I did! isn’t it always the case that these fatuous pricks think they’re so important that they need to use their middle names just to make sure we know who they “really” are! Like there are so many Louis Seidman’s around that he needs to differentiate himself by letting us all know his middle name. You will also note the obligatory beard.

“Seidman is well known for his contributions to constitutional legal theory, principally his theory of unsettlement put forward in his book Our Unsettled Constitution: A New Defense of Constitutionalism and Judicial Review (Yale 2001).[2] Drawing from the critical legal studies indeterminacy thesis, Seidman argues that because constitutional law cannot settle fundamental political disputes, constitutional legal discourse and judicial review instead act to “unsettle” them. Rather than resolving conflicts definitively, the temporary resolution of any controversy in constitutional law through judicial review leaves open the possibility that the losing side may make an equally plausible alternative constitutional argument. In this way, both the prevailing and losing sides in a dispute recognize their positions as unstable and subject to revision within the recognized standards of legal argument. As a result, both winners and losers have reasons to continue their debate within the framework of constitutional law, thereby keeping all parties at the table and consolidating the legal system.
Seidman’s defense of judicial review provided a counterpoint within the critical legal studies school to his colleague and sometime collaborator Mark Tushnet’s attack on judicial review as undemocratic.
In addition to Seidman’s theory of judicial review, he is also known for his widely respected[3] constitutional law casebook, co-authored with Pamela Karlan, Mark Tushnet, Geoffrey Stone and Cass Sunstein. Seidman is also noted for his work in criminal law and his book Silence and Freedom.[4] During the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation hearings, Seidman also attracted attention as an outspoken liberal detractor,[5] writing a scathing response to Sotomayor’s claims that she simply applies the law to the facts (arguing that this is impossible to do).[6]
Seidman has also recently intervened in the health care reform debate, defending the constitutionality of the single payer mandate against libertarian criticism on fora tv.[7]”
I looked the guy up and, sure enough, he is right there with the White House insiders. Critical legal theory is an Obama creed. Cass Sunstein is a co- author. We are going down this road, like it or not.
