And yet Radley Balko managed, unless I'm wrong about his intellectual trajectory.

He was always focused on things like no knock raids which kept him from The pro police wing at least

radley’s work is intellectual, and excellent, but he isn’t an “intellectual” by which i mean one of these libertarian academics with a sinecure like cowen

Does Radley even call himself a libertarian anymore? Guessing he wouldn’t want to label himself with something that usually means “guy angry at age of consent laws”.
