No, they want what their donors want.

Yeah, this explains a lot. In other words, the Democratic establishment is not concerned with the desires of its base. Which seems to be consistently demonstrated by its actions.

Well, good for them. And it’s about time.

Glad to see someone on the Republican side acting like they have a conscience and principles. I sure hope it becomes a trend!

What we are seeing in law schools, and really across the field of education (as well as journalism and legal practice) is Gleichschaltung, people and institutions prematurely bending the knee, and pretending all this is normal. It is not.

“Hannah Arendt discussed the term Gleichschaltung, roughly translatable as “coordination” or “synchronisation”. It came from the Nazi justice minister Franz Gürtner to mean, broadly, that all political, social, cultural and civic institutions had to fall in line with the totalitarian state.”

Moreover, it is impossible to teach respect for the law or even to teach about the law when the government is breaking the law. This is my biggest gripe with the current state of legal education in this country. How can you teach Con Law without criticizing the illegal acts of government?

My answer is, if your government is breaking the law, then laws don’t mean anything. You can’t say, this person is a crook or that person is a fraud, based on charges laid by a government that is itself criminal.

I’m one of those. I hope there is room for optimism.

That’s what I think happened.

And caps.
