At least my alma mater’s doing something…
To make up for the continued employment of torture apologist John Yoo.
Seriously, I can’t believe that man is teaching anyone about anything. I can’t believe you can get a fundamental principle of western democracy and jurisprudence so utterly and completely wrong, and still be on the staff of a well-regarded law school. (The principle being right to speedy trial, and at the very least being able to challenge the facts of your arrest. We’ve had some people locked up for seven years now, and haven’t let them challenge the circumstances meaningfully. Can you imagine being locked up for that long with no hope? It would drive me crazy.) For all the right wing talk of freedom, they seem willing to give up rights that our ancestors died for fairly readily.
