No. Then again, I suspect I am much more familiar with the man and his work than you are. I take you were happy to cite him as "respected" without having any real idea what his jurisprudence consists of?

Posner seems pretty mainstream to me. Listen to this praise for his work from a fellow conservative:
Those Zany, Wacky Federal Appellate Judges
In his new book Catastrophe: Risk and Response , Richard Posner, a judge on the federal Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, supposes that humanity may soon be enslaved or slaughtered by intelligent robots who consider Homo sapiens primate forms: "Human beings may turn out to be the 21st century's chimpanzees, and if so the robots may have as little use and regard for us as we do for our fellow, but nonhuman, primates." Judge, if you really fear intelligent robots will conquer humanity, shouldn't you, like, be putting some tech geeks into jail while there's still time?
