Randy Barnett adds his voice to those calling for the American Enterprise Institute to conduct an investigation into Lott's conduct. He also writes:

Since Jim Lindgren's unsuccessful effort to verify some of Lott's claims from the criticisms of Tim Lambert, I have not defended Lott publicly in any way.

Ralph Luker writes

Lott's sponsors, primarily the American Enterprise Institute, but also the Federalist Society, may now want to distance themselves from him.
