Here's the author's website bio. The linked CV says he's worked for Human Rights Campaign as an Open Society Institute Fellow (i.e. Soros) on LGBT issues, which looks to be his area of legal specialty.

Assistant prof should prolly have not broadcast his lunacy.

He probably thinks it’ll help him get tenure.

This clown is a J.D. from Harvard Law. Another shining example of why Harvard Law should be shut down and its graduates degrees and law licenses revoked.

He was obviously cutting class in law school when they studied the Constitution.

I wonder why he doesn’t believe in what he teaches. Constitutional Law just in and of itself is revealing now, in the early 21st, He might believe the Constitution is a malleable and plastic instrument of “law suggesting.”

If he does he is definitely a problem. Constitutional law is not malleable though there is a great effort over the years to make it so. Actually there is not much wrong with it the way it was written originally. Bill of Rights, same thing.

I think this nation needs a discussion about this but not lead by the MSM. And not the judiciary...The 9th District Ct knows about as much as I about “Law”.
