Speaking of attacking the swamp through academia, I wanted to bring this to your attention.
Georgetown Law received an endowment from Ralph Whitworth to fund a professorship. Georgetown just named Victoria Nourse as the first Ralph Whitworth Professor of Law under the endowment. Ms. Nourse is a super liberal. If you read her statement, she is calling for interpretation of the Constitution without regard to use of the actual words of the Constitution. Which would leave what? The whim of a majority of the court.
This is the farce that got us the Warren Court, Roe v. Wade, separation of church and state, and a commerce clause that means there is nothing the feds can’t do to the states. Scalia used to debate Breyer about just this subject. And GU, with Ralph’s money, will teach a new generation of students that this is the way to interpret the Constitution. They don’t want to even have to pretend they are following the Constitution in the future, they just want to do whatever leftist thought is dictating.
Here’s the thing. I knew Ralph Whitworth. He was from a not very wealthy family from Nevada. He went to DC with Paul Laxalt and worked in his office during the Reagan years. He was a strong conservative. He went to Georgetown Law’s night school program while continuing to work for Laxalt. Then, after graduating, he went into finance and hedge fund work, instead of practicing law, and was very good at it. He bacame very wealthy. By 10 or 15 years ago, he had reached billionaire status.
Sadly, Ralph got a very bad form of cancer. He was given months to live, but with his money, he was able to get experimental treatments that extended his life 5 years or so. He finally succumbed a couple of years ago. He left a young wife and 4 kids. I doubt very much he would have agreed with the choice of this person to be the one paid for with his endowment. He must not have set up the terms of the endowment in a way that would prevent this from happening. I don’t know what happened, but it’s very sad.
This is just another example of how the left coopts the money from the wealth creators to its own ends. Rockefellor, Ford, Mellon, Gates, you name it. This must stop. The rolling over in their graves of good patriots must stop. We need to get back control of all important institutions, because those who are running them now are giving us AOC and people who want to tear down the republic.
Thanks for that info.
There is another big swamp that needs draining besides DC.
ACADEMIA! (on every level)
