He thinks it should be un-American to grovel before judges.
David Appel has a blog post about this, in which he is called to task by a commenter:
It’s a far bigger insult to the judge for you to imply they are not impartial – letting some perceived insult influence the case – than anything Steyn has said.
Yes.

I’ll let Mark Steyn explain, without comment.
[Thursday-morning update]
Jonathan Adler (from his new digs at the Washington Post) provides his take.
Down with the LA Times.
It really is embarrassing that we have such an awful newspaper in the second-largest city in the country. Of course, the one in the largest city is pretty bad, too.
The proposed rule, ‘Guidance for Tax-Exempt Social Welfare Organizations on Candidate-Related Political Activities’ does not impact labor unions or the Chamber of Commerce, but does impact the Tea Party and other conservative groups.
Can’t have people who actually favor limited government have any political influence.
How it’s like national gun registration.
…and are rewarded with government retaliation:
If the liberty movement were not effective in its activism, if we did not present a legitimate threat to the criminal establishment, they would simply ignore us rather than seek to vilify us.
The militias of Michoacan have taken a stand. They have drawn their line in the sand, and I wish I could fight alongside them. Of course, we have our own fight and our own enemies to contend with here in the United States. As this fight develops, we have much to learn from the events in Western Mexico. Government retaliation has been met with widespread anger from coast to coast. And despite the general mainstream media mitigation of coverage, the American public is beginning to rally around the people of Michoacan as well. The non-participation principle prevails yet again.
The liberty movement in the U.S. must begin providing mutual aid and self-defense measures in a localized fashion if we have any hope of supplanting the effects of globalization and centralized Federal totalitarianism. We must begin constructing our own neighborhood watches, our own emergency response teams, our own food and medical supply stores, and our own alternative economies and trade markets that do not rely on controlled networks. We must break from the system and, in the process, break the system entirely.
It may be necessary if we continue to see illegal gangs allied with the legal ones. Let’s hope not. At least we’re seeing a new revolution against the corruption in Mexico.
Safety should not be NASA’s highest priority. That way lies stagnation.

Hey, Vance, was safety “the highest priority” for Apollo 8?
…versus real feminism.
Also, fuzzy wording. As Glenn notes: “…she’s a Harvard-trained lawyer, but says she can’t express herself with precision. Is this what feminism looks like?”
Words mean whatever they say they mean.
Jeff Foust has a review of the book (in the context of last week’s release of the 2013 ASAP report, which I’ve been meaning to comment on), over at The Space Review.
[Update a while later]
And of course the server at The Space Review would go down the day that he reviews my book. I must have crashed it with my link. 😉
