Lessig is a great scholar, advocate, and man, but I really can't support him for the CA-12 seat. Jackie Speier, the Democrat currently running for that seat, is an extraordinary politician who's time in Congress is well due. It would be a shame for Lessig to take that away from her. In any case, I can't help but feel he's more valuable as a scholar and advocate focusing on single important issues, rather than as a member of Congress where his attention would be divided amongst many matters under debate.
