For James J. Kilpatrick it is conservative ,becuase it talks about the constitution and how it would be a bad thing to change things. Richard A. Epstein article was a liberal article. I think this becuase he is giving different open opiniouns about thing. A word he uses was "liberal" to make me think that. John F. Grim was a conservative. He gives alot of evidence to support that he does not want change. Paul Krugman is liberal because he does not like the way things are being runned right now and he is open to change.
