Individual Rights
Lincoln Kaplan has it all wrong when he states that Supreme Court Justices William Brennan, Thurgood Marshall and Harry Blackmun are the most sensitive to “individual rights” (Opinion, Dec. 18). He is correct in saying these justices care more about the individual criminal’s rights than individual victim’s rights.
They don’t care much about the individual’s rights to a drug-free school or neighborhood. If said justices will drop their invented and contorted constitutional interpretations defending the rights to drugs and crime, then inner-city residents can really get on with the job of reclaiming their neighborhoods from the criminals.
