Professors found unfit to teach, fancy themselves outside the law
[ http://theweek.com/bullpen/column/100731/What_do_we_do_about_John_Yoo ]
Failing to reconcile personal prejudices with established law [ http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2005/12/supreme-court-already-rejected-bush.html ], former law school dean Jesse Choper and recognized war criminal John Yoo find themselves reduced to attacking the Supreme Court:
"MEGA EVENT: CHOPER & YOO on the Supreme Court"
[ http://farnsworth.law.berkeley.edu/MasterCalendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J7WMhPwN6O6mcutVd8%2fUBZDrJm42picdNcRCybD3wb2Ng%3d%3d ]
In an attempt to squelch controversy, school administrators have elected to employ a seldom-used mechanism to suppress alternate views, requiring attendees to display their “papers”, or university IDs -- so much for oft-proclaimed integration of the University with the community at large.
Anti-torture advocates will challenge this pretext for exclusion by testing policing at event doors, expressing solidarity with actual torture victims by wearing the prison garb of Guantanamo.
Meetup 12:30 pm outside Room 110, Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley campus on Thursday September 9. Demonstrate your right to speak out against school administration promotion of state torture policies.
