The record of the 2020 elections should be instructive to readers as to what extent the progressive Left will go, and making law professors into something other than trusted sources of knowledge and judgement.
New York University (NYU) Law professor Rick Pildes, among a partisan academic group including NYU Law’s Bob Bauer, who worked for the Obama administration, wrote a guest essay in the New York Times recently where he opines on the SCOTUS decision over state voting procedures. In doing so, he adds to the long list of law school professors who are deliberately misleading the public.
There are some formal issues to consider in this case, including the Court’s dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas and others, and the concept of “mootness,” but I’d like to leave those technical and law factors to others, and focus on what Pildes does in his NYT essay: deliberately twist the law in order to serve the DNC, and by so doing, abandon law’s professional standards.
Pildes tries to convince the public that the Supreme Court has laid the groundwork for “turmoil” in the 2024 election cycle. That is a rich hypocrisy, given the 2020 election corruption by the DNC that he and his colleagues on the Left either aided, sanctioned, or ignored.
Recall what actually happened in 2020: COVID was used as a pretext to go into states with legal teams hired by the DNC (largely directed by political strategy law firm Perkins Coie) to intimidate judges by asserting an “emergency” which necessitated a sudden, and undisclosed, change in voting procedures. A chorus of law professors, such as Berkeley Law dean Erwin Chemerinsky, provided a nearly nonstop running media narrative, asserting that exceptions to nearly all voting rules needed to be suddenly accepted, due to the “dangers” of showing up

When leftists accuse others they are projecting exactly what they are doing. In fact, the greater the expertise and authority that someone on the left purports, the greater they project.
A slimey POS lawyer being a slimey POS?
What a surprise.

“Hypocrisy, oh what a simple word, but it is packed with so much meaning.”
I agree with that statement but being a hypocrite is abhorrent only to a logical mind. One must remember that in the mind of a leftist being called a hypocrite is meaningless. It has no ‘insult value’ because the leftist mind is full of dichotomies. For instance being for abortion at any stage of pregnancy (and post-birth) but being against capital punishment. Hundreds of examples support this.
We are not a nation of laws.
We are a nation of Democrat lawyers.
