Today's market idolators don't know much, but they know what they hate. Take libertarian University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein, who in his reliably hallucinatory Forbes.com column uses a wonky John Judis defense of the Obama White House's approach to regulatory policy to divine all sorts of pernicious motives in the Progressive vision of law and policy making.

If this all sounds a bit of a Byzantine route for the sake of some rather pro forma offense-taking on behalf of the molested free market, well, you haven't seen anything yet.
