Stephen L. Carter, JD Biography

Title:
William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law at Yale Law School
Position:
Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Is the ACLU Good for America?"
Reasoning:

“I think the ACLU is wrong to oppose religious expression in the public square, but being wrong is not the same as being evil.

More to point, the ACLU is often right about the First Amendment’s free exercise clause, taking on fights that others refuse.”
