Umm Berkeley's administration isn't the most liberal, unless you consider John Yoo (a big shot in the Federalist society and one of the big authors of the PATRIOT act and a high level supporter of torture) to be a real left winger.

Boalt is a school at UC Berkeley, which was the university you mentioned, right? Interesting times two.

You're right, Berkeley isn't a liberal school. One conservative law professor indicates this.

And just to be absolutely clear, in addition to one conservative making a faculty, support of the Patriot Act and Torture are fundamental principles of conservatism.

I've personally never understood the utility of law school, let alone lawyers, but generally you all tend to be great at reading details. I'm shocked you aren't.

To be repeated I never said Berkeley wasn't a liberal school. Not only does that have no relevancy to what we were discussing, but I also don't think you can even elucidate what makes a "liberal school".

I made a point regarding the administration which is composed of professors. You did follow that detail correct? I mean it's really simple. We were discussing professors.

I pointed out a professor in the university that is extremely conservative and has been one of the architects of the Bush Administration's conservative legislations as well as a prominent member of the Federalist society (along with Antonin Scalia), which "hopes to transform the American legal system by developing and promoting conservative positions and influencing who will become judges, top government officials, and decision-makers."

I hope your reading skills improve.

My reading skills are fine, thanks. Additionally, I highly doubt that Boalt professors have any impact on undergraduate hires, as I originally questioned. Hope that helps.

Your reading skills are not fine. I just detailed exactly why they were lacking.

Additionally, your post "Countdown until he's offered position at UC-Berk?" has no mention of undergraduate hires. You lose that argument as well.

No doubt that Woo is a conservative, but the Patriot Art and support of torture that you mentioned early as two thirds of his "conservative" bona fides are as distasteful to many conservatives as they are to anyone else along the spectrum.

True conservatism doesn't equate with fascism anymore than true liberalism equates with totalitarian communism.
