Lessig and Norquist can agree on some principles here?

I must say, I had the distinct pleasure of watching the second presidential debate at a theater in San Francisco, and nobody got louder ‘boos’ than the folks who led the Commission on Presidential “Debates.” Truly, these are a farce (both in their restrictive two-party nature, and in their approach to “questioning” the candidates).
