Is Justice Kennedy Libertarian?

Ilya Shapiro writes at the Cato Institute Blog: “Early last year, Cato hosted a book forum for Helen Knowles’s The Tie Goes to Freedom: Justice Anthony M. Kennedy on Liberty . . . Knowles makes the provocative argument that Justice Kennedy’s jurisprudence is ‘modestly libertarian.’ I think that this argument, in the limited ways Knowles makes it — with respect to free speech, equal protection, and individual dignity — is probably sound.”
