The other day I noted that it seemed odd for people to refer to the word “liberty” in the Fourteenth Amendment as a “clause.” Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, emailed in: “If there is a ‘liberty clause,’ then there is also a ‘life clause’ (that should make Arlen Specter shudder), and even a ‘property clause’ (which might not go over well with Democrats). Of course, what we actually have is a due process clause.”
