More Than 1,300 Law Professors Oppose Sessions Nomination

[Ringel05]

Is that 98℅

More like 99%.

No, there's approximately 18000 Law faculty (accredited schools) nationwide, that would make it about 7.2%

Oh and those numbers are from 2010.........

My liberal law professors always gave me maximum participation points for presenting the conservative view in class. My Con Law professor told me it was like having another professor in the classroom.

His civil rights record is awful and he was rejected as a federal judge for being too racist, they write to senators.

WASHINGTON ― More than 1,300 law professors are urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) as U.S. attorney general, citing a lousy record on civil rights and that time he was rejected as a federal judge for being too racist.

In an open letter to leaders of the committee, which will hold confirmation hearings for Sessions next week, professors from 178 law schools raise concerns about the Alabama senator’s ability to treat black people fairly given what happened during his 1986 bid to be a federal judge. His nomination was rejected, in a bipartisan vote, over allegations he called a black attorney “boy” and suggested a white lawyer working for black clients was a race traitor, among other issues.

“Nothing in Senator Sessions’ public life since 1986 has convinced us that he is a different man than the 39-year-old attorney who was deemed too racially insensitive to be a federal district court judge,” reads the letter.

The professors cite problems with Sessions’ “misguided prosecution” of three civil rights activists for voter fraud in Alabama in 1985, his promotion of the “myth” of voter-impersonation fraud, his support for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, his disbelief of climate change and his legislative efforts to restrict women’s and LGBTQ rights.

We had one law professor who was brilliant in front of class, but if you tried to talk to him one-on-one, he would freak out and shy away. He went to some Ivy League school, but had gone straight into being a law professor. He had never practiced law, probably would not even know how to be a lawyer, and in fact, had not ever taken a bar exam in any state.

He'll have to try and figure out the best language to use that satisfies these law professors...something they find not only acceptable but that they will condone...something like..."He was my mentor"!!!
