More Than 1,300 Law Professors Oppose Sessions Nomination

[Lakhota]

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.

[Manonthestreet]

[MACAULAY]

Most compelling endorsement for Sessions I can imagine...a bunch of pinhead law professors don't like him.

Sessions is surely a shoo-in now.

Is that 98℅

This is proof that the law schools have been corrupted by liberal bias, and conservative alumni of law schools need to stop supporting them with donations until something is done about it.

Must be settled science

 

[Shrimpbox]

You mean the same professors who believe there is white privilege, don't believe in capitalism, are racists, marxists, and socialists? The same ones who believe 40 per cent of Americans are deplorable and irredeemable and too dumb to know what is good for them. The same ones who don't believe American history or western culture should be,a college,course requirement? The same ones that don't believe the laws apply to sanctuary cities or presidential executive orders or the IRS or the EPA? I am surprised it is only 1300. Another democratic roadblock to ANYTHING Donald trump wants to do. This is just another regiment in the irrelevant army known as the Democratic Party.

Wow. Where were all the law professors protesting when ACA mandates got passed,
expanding federal powers of government without voting on a Constitutional Amendment first?

Why is it when the values of conservative "white" Americans get overridden, the rights of those citizens
don't count. But when the civil rights of "blacks" get violated, people take notice and protest.

As for "beliefs" about climate change and "beliefs" about LGBT,
why is it that if Christians have "beliefs" about right to life those should be SEPARATED from govt
and exercised in private; but with LIBERAL "beliefs" these should be MANDATED by govt by ESTABLISHING laws that PENALIZE people if they don't change or comply with these BELIEFS forced by coercion
instead of respecting free choice and ADOPTING beliefs BASED ON SECULAR PROOF.

Why is it okay for LIBERALS to impose THEIR "faith based" policies on the public through govt,
while only enforcing Constitutional limits on the beliefs of Conservatives, Christians and beliefs
that "liberals don't agree with" so the "beliefs liberals agree with" CAN BE ESTABLISHED BY GOVT.

How is this equal Constitutionally? How is this not a pattern of discrimination by creed?

 

[saveliberty]

Liberals one and all. These guys the ones doing presidential polls? <cough,cough>

 

[Ringel05]

More like 99%.

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

 

[saveliberty]

You know what law professor create? Lawyers...scary huh?

 

[Blackrook]

When I was in law school, there were only two conservative professors, and both had to be low key about it. They both taught Property Law.

If 1300 Kagan acolytes oppose Sessions he must be a great choice. Most law profs aren't worth the powder it would take to blow their fucking pea brains out.
