My Fox column this week is on Cory Maye.

It’ll be interesting to see how Fox News consumers react to the case.

It’ll also give some indication of the chances of assembling a broad-based left-right coalition on this case.

The academic right has largely jumped on board with Maye’s cause, as you’d expect them too. The grassroots right is iffier. Here’s hoping red state America can get transcend knee-jerk “cop-killer” and “pot smoker” reactions and see this case for what it is: a man who was protecting his family from intruders.

UPDATE: This thread on the Red State site isn’t very promising.
