I respect your process in eliminating Duke and W & M. You are thinking the right thoughts.

I have a child at W & M and the fight is actually going pretty well there. The students have so far successfully fought off the NCAA initiative to force them to drop their team name, fought off a move to closet a historically significant cross that was being displayed in a building and generally been alert to PC totalitarianism on the part of the faculty and administration.

Make sure you actually familiarize yourself with the politics and moral atmosphere of the campus you choose, because W & M was about the best that we could do.

Maybe I’m wrong, but successful trial lawyers don’t usually end up working as bureaucratic hacks at the Justice Dept (ala Gorelick). If that is correct, just what does she bring to the table in this case?

I am an alumnus of the College of William and Mary (’77).

I have written to the College and the Alumni Assoc. expressing my disgust and dismay with the “leadership” of the prior president Sullivan and now Nichol.

I applaud the actions of the student body, however small or large in number, to override the PC-Nation that W&M administration has become.

BTW, I have told them the reason I no longer donate to the College at all is the ridiculous words, deeds, and policies of Sullivan and now Nichol.

harrumph!

abb speculates (and I think it makes sense) that this signals a strategy on the part of Duke to fight this case as a PR war. Expect a PR blitz!

She brings Wilmer, Hale, and Doer - one of the top 10 US law firms.

It is my sincerest hope that the slime running Duke U. get a strong taste of their own litigious medicine.

The cost of having Nichols for president will cause in the long run serious damage to William and Mary. A shame.

She builds a wall and stands on the wrong side every time.

Maybe Gorelick will do a pole dance at their next sex worker seminar.

Yep, that is all I could think of too. Those PC idiots in administration think hiring a Clinton croney will help their defense. Fools.

Look for Jamie Gorelick to be the AG or some other influential appointee in the next Rat administration.

No. Scheck is one of the plaintiffs' attorneys in Evans, where Duke isn't a defendant. Gorelick has been hired by Duke for McFayden.

Barry Scheck against Gore-lick?

Barry Scheck against Gore-lick? This isn’t even a contest. They’ll be calling it Scheck University after this thing gets done.

Sheck will outclass Gorlick, and Sullivan is much better than Scheck.

I didn’t add, but you might want to know: W&M has single-sex bathrooms in the dorms (mostly!). That is rarer than you might think in academically strong institutions.

Thanks for the heads up.

That is some team of lawyers. I imagine the trial - if it goes that far - will be something to see.
