This is no more "spying" than a reporter is "spying" on City Counsel members when he reports what happened at the meeting last night.

Regularly-----grading was done anonymously so I risked nothing. I was a burr under their saddle.....That I was a member of the Federalist Society, and one of a couple students that got the chapter going, seemed to agitate more than anything. The notion that a contrary view might be brought to campus was more than my property law professor could bear. He slammed us with regularity.

My Constitutional Law Class was really AWFUL! Preface to the book said something like: "We've increased the references to foreign constitutional law, because in our view, the US CONSTITUTION REMAINS FAR TOO INSULAR!"

ARgh. Not only are the professors in the legal academy left-wing loons......the books they write/use are too......it's no wonder that the kids graduate thinking that there are prenumbras of emanations.....

A friend who is a professor looked into some of that issue and it appeared there were copyright issues regarding taping for instance.

I believe the lectures are the property of the college.

I'm not saying put that is cement and let it harden, just what someone I know found out on their own.

Understood. Just read some articles this morning about Cal Bruin Alumni responses: Rogan, Thernstrom, Chavez.

The question to me is -- which side of this will CA Democrats support.

I used to work at a company who employed a fellow who was a raging alcoholic (but a pretty good computer programmer).
Anyway, on occasion, I had to work beside him and he'd start his liberal babbling. I found it best to just ingore him or say, "I really cannot discuss this right now as I have a tight deadline here and need to concentrate." On the ONE occasion that I did get into a political discussion/disagreement with him, he started SCREAMING (no exaggeration), to the point his eyes were bulging out of his head and spittle was flying out of his mouth! Typical democRAT!

Excellent strategy! It will have the added benefit of increasing their paranoia and insane rantings.

[Aquinasfan]

What about liberal bosses in the workplace, who view their offices as an opportunity to rant about their opinions on Iraq, and lower productivity by the stress of not being able to say, "you jerk" for fear of losing a paycheck?

We give each other patronizing, knowing smirks that the boss can catch. That has to hurt.

Spying implies covert activity. Reporting what is being said by a state employee in a public setting is not spying. That should fall under "the public's right to know", a mantra of the NYT every time they publish REAL national security secrets. It's that well-worn double standard again...

[Snapping Turtle]

Most schools have education codes pertaining to the conduct of their instructors. Our college has such a code.

You know, it'd be an interesting book to study the rages of the Dems shortly after John (Soros) Kerry lost the election--I saw some very weird behaviors.

There are a lot of bosses out there with wayout leftist politics--

Spying involves exposing something that is hidden. This is not spying in the least as the left wing loonies get their reputations for spewing left wing garbage.
