A group of more than 1,100 law school professors from across the country is sending a letter to Congress on Tuesday urging the Senate to reject the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general.

The letter, signed by professors from 170 law schools in 48 states, is also scheduled to run as a full-page newspaper ad aimed at members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be holding confirmation hearings for Sessions on Jan. 10-11.

"We are convinced that Jeff Sessions will not fairly enforce our nation's laws and promote justice and equality in the United States," states the letter, signed by prominent legal scholars including Laurence H. Tribe of Harvard Law School, Geoffrey R. Stone of the University of Chicago Law School, Pamela S. Karlan of Stanford Law School and Erwin Chemerinsky of the University of California, Irvine School of Law.

Funny how they consider justice and equality to be two different things.

My professors are of mixed or unknown politics. I doubt they would sign this letter

But of course they had NO problem with Eric Holder....
Probably the most dangerous person to ever hold that office.

If I were in a position to hire law professors, this would be my never-hire list.

I don’t recall these same professors being concerned with AG Holder or AG Lynch. Neither of them have enforced the laws fairly.

There are conservative law professors out there but not enough and they are probably afraid to speak up. Does the article name the professors or their schools?

Me too! I cannot wait to see the dems make utter fools of themselves trying to besmirch Sessions and his impeccable reputation. The insanity of the left will be exposed for all the world to see.
