I wish I had time to write more about this... but finals loom and I have to study....

A much-beloved professor at our law school, Dale Carpenter, decided to take a leave of absense next semester. He is my Constitutional Law professor, and teaches all the students from Sections A and C. He's a small-l libertarian, but people of every political

i dunno. when you have the upper classman president of the federalist society coming to a meeting that was supposed to be for section A kids, and basically scolding us for being troublemakers and having the nerve to say anything and then claiming it was because we like to persecute conservatives... and then you have another student snarking to the deans about how great it is that they're acting on behalf of the conservative students in providing more conservative education in the beating heart of bilious liberalism... you can't really say one side is softer spoken.

also, there were actually 3 sides. there were the conservatives screaming about academic freedom, the liberals screaming about ethics, and then the people saying "uh, so... what's this guy and what's all the fuss?"

also also, the 2L's and 3L's there were ALL toolbags for showing up. if you're not in A or C, you had no place being there.

Quite the tempest in a teapot. Law school isn't (and shouldn't be) a democracy. The administrators made a choice, and while they may not have done due diligence in their search it would seem to be a little late to cry over spilled milk.

I've never seen a petition solve anything, personally, but I guess if it makes a couple folks feel better there's no real harm.

Still, based solely upon your explanation I think everyone involved is a "toolbag."

I agree. Leaving all issues of ideology and ethics aside, what's done is done. Most people are conceding that he'll be able to teach effectively. Let him.

We're agreeing more lately. Should I go outside to check for locusts? Or do I need to check the rivers, to see if they run red with blood? I can never remember which comes first :P

[baronlarf]

Blood, frogs, bugs, wild animals, pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and finally the death of the first-born. C'mon man... read your Exodus.

Section A blogs...

I didn't know you guys blogged. I see my name mentioned! It should be a fun semester coming up. We should all get to know each other better (A and C). Do you guys drink beer?

I'm glad to see there is a lot of debate about this issue going on. I think it's been healthy for the law school.

See you guys around,

Jon Taylor
