CHICAGO For a dozen years at the University of Chicago Law School, President Obama taught students the finer points of constitutional jurisprudence, preaching what he would later try to put into practice in the Oval Office.
On Thursday, he returned to the law school for the first time as president, using the backdrop of his onetime academic life to underscore his demand that Republicans reverse their opposition to holding hearings on his nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick B. Garland.
Its not just that the Republican majority in the Senate intends to vote against a highly qualified judge, Mr. Obama told about 250 law students and faculty members. We now have a situation where theyre saying we simply will not consider the nomination itself.
In the hour-and-a-half session, Mr. Obama gave long answers that may have seemed familiar to students who participate in philosophical legal discussions. He cautioned that the polarization of the political parties threatened to tarnish the judicial system and ultimately undermine Americans views of their democracy.

He was a lecturer, not a professor. He’s still lecturing.
If anything needs a Barf alert!!!!! Pretty much mandatory when he speaks.
I thought he ‘taught’ on race? I don’t know where the fiction of constitutional scholar comes from.
This is the story the DIMS love to trot out.
Is there any hard evidence that it was actually the case?

NONE!
FWIW, I thought the Republicans played this nomination strategy wrong. By saying they would not consider it, they opened the door to an Obama race card play. I think they should have done what they usually do. Act like they are doing something and getting nothing done.
Why do I think Lord Obama & the NYT are campaigning for Madam President to appoint him to the Supreme Court?
Is there any proof that he actually graduated?
Didn’t Obama lose, or have to give up his law license?
Just what young, aspiring lawyers need, a lecture from a loser.
I live in the Chicago area and NOT ONCE have I heard nor seen the local media trot out a former “student” talk about the great lectures Barry had given.
If there are such “students”, they probably took the class as an excuse to take a nap.
Less and less subtle sharia.
He is not a licensed attorney, even. And his wife, Michelle, was disbarred. So how much was his ‘speaking fee’?
