I could have substituted Spenser or Malthus for Bentham
Nonpartisan's reading of Rawls treats him simply as a consequentialist -  "Rawls has ensured that the de facto "right" is what most people in power think at any one time."  

Rawls's liberalism reserves a robust role for the normative that goes well beyond mere outcomes, and such a reading tortures what Rawls himself saw as his task.
