Dear Eugene,
I looked at the journal website and noticed the enormous, long list of editors.
My experience is that a small list of 5 or 6 (my journal A) functions much better than my 43 editors for journal B.
The three executive editors of this publication seem to fit within a relatively small (and against-the-grain) ideological pod.
All three are regular Federalist Society panelists. (What are the odds against that on modern American law faculties?)
They file amici briefs together. One was a guest-blogger at another's intensely partisan blog.
When should we expect Heterodox Academy, FIRE, Academic Freedom Alliance, and others to object to the probability-defying lack of ideological diversity among this Stanton-funded project's leadership?
And you should see the ideological conformity in the Republican Party - a disproportionate number of them are Republicans.
Do you expect this new journal to acknowledge that it is a partisan publication? I would expect to learn that it purports to be a nonpartisan, scholarly journal rather than a right-wing mouthpiece staffed and funded by conservatives.
