Professor fired at Colorado...

[shinerbock]

No, I'm not wrong.

I made a comment (which was sarcastic, but I think you realize this) about the fired professor being hired at Berkeley. Given that he is not a law professor, your reference to a conservative law professor had nothing to do with Cal's hiring him. I'm not knowledgeable about the finer points of university operation, but I would imagine he would be hired by a specific department. Given that said department is not the law school, I don't think Yoo would have any impact on on the potential hire.

Thus, your original response was irrelevant, similar to my assumption that your comment was about the political leanings of the institution.

I got the sarcasm, but let me repeat that we were discussing the hire of a professor by a university. You did not remark on undergraduate hires. You did not remark on his specific department (I'm not even sure either of us know what department that is unless we google it).

Judge Judy called and said I won the case.

I think you have to submit to Judy prior to "trial".

I guess we're speaking on different wavelengths. Law schools are generally somewhat detached from the institution, and I often refer to law schools by name. Thus, I still don't think your comment was in anyway relevant, but I doubt there is anywhere this discussion can go from here.

Churchill wasn't a law professor before. Why would we have expected him to become one at Berkeley? Rudey, your points are idiotic. (which I feel a lot more comfortable saying knowing that he has me on ignore.)

This has been an awful lot of work for a joke hasn't it, Shinerbock?

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.
