[PJ] Over a decade ago, Hans von Spakovsky and I published the "Every Single One" series here at PJ Media. It took a federal lawsuit by PJ Media to obtain the resumes of all the new Eric Holder-hired lawyers in the Civil Rights Division. We documented the radical progressive backgrounds of every single one of Holder’s new lawyers in the so-called neutral "civil service."
The series exposed the "swamp" before the term swamp was fashionable. We had seen the problem up close when we both worked inside the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division. Eventually, even the DOJ Inspector General urged the Obama administration to change course and hire a more ideologically diverse attorney pool.
Of course, the Obama administration ignored the suggestion because there was a fundamental transformation to complete. Now, we find ourselves in 2023, and the problem has only gotten worse.
A radicalized civil service is downstream from radicalized elite law schools. For the last six months, Hans and I have turned to what is happening in the nation’s top 10 law schools, asking, "Do They Teach Law Anymore?"
I covered the top-ranked law school—Yale, then Chicago, Harvard, and NYU. Hans covered number two, Stanford, and also Columbia, Penn, and UVA. (If you missed any of the madness catalog, click a link.)
Radicalization of law curricula is a serious and underexamined threat to the rule of law. The danger has moved beyond mere "liberal" professors from a decade ago. Law schools now teach classes designed to deconstruct the very foundations of our American system. From PJ Media: |
