H2H: Reynolds v. Sunstein on The State of the Blogosphere

Our first debate of the year features Glenn Reynolds and Cass Sunstein. They will discuss three recent books: Sunstein’s Republic.com 2.0 and Infotopia, and Reynolds’ An Army of Davids.

Reynolds, a.k.a. Instapundit, is Beauchamp Brogan Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tennessee College of Law. A profile is here: http://instapundit.com/about.php. He is also coauthor of The Appearance of Impropriety: How the Ethics Wars Have Undermined American Government, Business and Society, and co-host of The Glenn and Helen Show.

Sunstein is the Karl N. Llewellyn Dist. Service Professor of Jurisprudence here at Chicago. His other recent books include Worst-Case Scenarios and Are Judges Political? An Empirical Investigation of the Federal Judiciary (with various coauthors).

Reynolds will start us off shortly.
