He and so many others are totally out of tune with the rest of the country on immigration.
This next presidential election may turn on that issue. I sue hope the Repulicans will listen to thier constituents. Otherwise they will become ex-constituents. We can't afford this to go on any longer.
Liberal law profs suck is an excellent summary.
Looks too smart for me. He reminds me that even at the end of WW2, secretaries at Krup were churning out memos and filing papers as the world fell apart all around them. Seth is a good google.
They did not "misunderstand." They just don't care.
- The government went to court to enforce the Solomon Amendment, which requires that colleges receiving federal funds must allow US military recruiters to attempt to recruit its students on the same basis as it allows other potential employers to attempt to recruit its students.
- Dozens of US colleges and universities, notably including Harvard and Yale, filed briefs defending the conceit that the colleges had the right to sit in judgement of the military and deny its recruiters equal access on the basis that the colleges reject a particular personnel policy which the military (under Congressional mandate) enforces. These institutions teach law, and some of their most prestigious professors (including, for example, Lawrence Tribe) made those arguments. Most of the highest-regarded law schools in the country committed themselves to these arguments.
- In a unanimous ruling with no dissents and no concurring opinions, SCOTUS laughed their arguments out of court. It ruled that since the Constitution requires the president to raise an army and a navy, not only could the government withhold federal funds from colleges which hindered his efforts at recruitment (as the Solomon Amendment requires), but that Congress has the authority to require colleges to give equal access to military recruiters without regard to whether or not any given college receives federal funds.
- The point is not merely that the colleges lost the argument but that the law schools disgraced themselves by even raising the issue at all. Sort of like Bill Clinton disgraced himself by appearing in court to dispute the claim that he was on the make. Clinton's only honorable course was to settle the case out of court; as POTUS he had no business even going into the courtroom hoping that the judge might wrongly decide in his favor.
The dean also testified to the Senate regarding the NSA surveillance program. I'm sure his comments there were just as devoid of legal reasoning.
BWaaaaaaa, HAAAaaaaa, Haaaaaa, haaaaaaa....
The little liberal morons are so proud of their anti-US values that they refuse to let anyone know who they are! You've got to love liberalism!...
Thanks Cliff!
It also revealed the left belief that everything is political. There is no right and wrong, there is no true interpretation of the constitution - only a political battle.
It also revealed that this position is not just that of politicos and dummies - the Clinton events revelaed that - but it is also the position of the supposed intellectuals of the left.
We need to face these facts. These guys might not sell their mother, but certainly wouldn't mind selling yours, for their leftist political beliefs.
We need to appreciate the degree to which they will fight for their sub-human cause.
The ONLY thing?....Oh, Lordy, you must have slept through the Reagan years, or been born too late. Yes, him unfortunate attitude about immigration is nasty, but him attitudes about spending, drilling, vetoes and many other issues leave him FAR short of Reagan.

Where do you think "Judicial Activism" comes from. It comes from the 85% of lawyers who are liberal and donate to the Democrat Party.
It should cover all Federal money....Pell grants,etc.
It shows that the vast majority of "leading law professors" and supposedly prestigious law schools no longer care at all about what the laws or the US Constitution actually say - everything is politics to these charlatans, it's only a question of how to present their sophistical "arguments" in rhetoric that will be persuasive to fellow leftist bozos.
Let's hope that Roberts, Alito, Scalia, and Thomas enjoy long and healthy careers on the SCOTUS, hopefully joined soon by at least one or two more "originalist" justices who can actually read and understand straightforward written English!!!
The professors (liberals) missed what the law said - because it didn't fit their agenda. This answer was way too easy.
Her Heinous is deeply saddened.

If the Armed Forces were a corporation, they would be praised for their "affirmative action." OR rather, for the numbers of those from minority groups whom they "hire."
No joke.
