Being a Good Lawyer Doesn't Mean You Can Make a Good Argument

This lawyer/philosopher takes apart some really bad arguments Eugene Volokh (Law, UCLA) has been making about the role of religious beliefs in public policy.  It pays to study philosophy.

UPDATE:  Ted Warfield (Philosophy, Notre Dame) reminds me that a good philosophical treatment of this whole subject is the debate between Robert Audi and Nicholas Wolterstorff in their book Religion and the Public Square:  The Place of Religious Convictions in Political Debate (Rowman & Littlefield, 1997).
