Bernard H. Siegan, RIP

Alan Bock reports:
If anyone ever fit the term "a gentleman and a scholar" it was Bernie Siegan. Bernard H. Siegan, Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of San Diego law school, died Monday at the age of 81 after being hospitalized since late last year with a stroke. One of the most persistent and quietly influential advocates of freedom in this country, and a valued friend to many of us, he will be sorely missed. But he left a legacy of distinguished scholarship that strengthened the case for limited government and a free society and will no doubt influence generations to come.
That's why Ted Kennedy called Siegan :
"far, far outside the mainstream."
I guess when you don't believe that minimum wage laws are constitutional,Ted Kennedy has to say what he said.
