Althouse, a constitutional law prof herself, writes an open note to the president:

I think you alternate between these 2 personas, and I sense that you've done it for so long that it feels normal and comfortable to you, but I want to urge you to pack up Radical Lefty Obama and stow him away with the rest of your Harvard Law School memorabilia. I know you — the Moderate Obama — have impressed some very useful people over the years by parading about as Radical Lefty Obama.

Perhaps when he's rattled
and feeling embattled
he throws all his heft
to the left.
