Law Professor Says Palin Was Ridiculed for Being Right on VP Duties



University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds agrees with Sarah Palin's views on the constitutional role of the Vice President:


(p. A23) The presidential campaign has taken a detour into a dispute over the constitutional status of the vice presidency. It all started when Sarah Palin asserted in her debate with Joe Biden that the vice president should play an important role in the legislative branch.

Ms. Palin has been roundly mocked for her claim. But she was probably right.

. . .

The Constitution and the best interests of the country suggest that the best place for the vice president is in the Senate.
