Reinhardt’s confirmation to the 9th Circuit in 1980...
A Carter appointee. That explains a lot.
Was at one time and still may be married to Ramona Ripston, another gem. From my perspective she's an ACLU nut job.
Just Damn ping.
You'd be surprised at the number of Freepers defending Reinhartds holding in Fields when we were debating it. I know I was.
A genuine certifiable nut case.
Always a bad sign.
Once in the United States, Max gained renown for directing a stage production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” featuring James Cagney and Mickey Rooney.
On a side note. Mickey Rooney and James Cagney were in a motion picture adaptation of "Midsummer's Night Dream " along with (I think) Dick Powell. Anyone interested in Shakespeare should track it down and obtain a copy -- it is really quite entertaining.
And the LAPD tried to infiltrate some of those groups by attending left-wing political meetings where the terrorists would go to recruit new members. The commission Reinhardt was on began limiting the amount of intelligence gathering the police could do.
Gates was right about the need for the LAPD intelligence unit -- this clown was wrong.
"Social Justice" is a joke. I attend Loyola University New Orleans, which has, for some reason, decided to start referring to itself as "Social Justice University." As economics professor Walter Block pointed out in the Maroon, people have a rather hard time defining "social justice," especially when asked to distinguish it from plain-vanilla "justice."
As for those who dare to define it, however, it invariably ends up looking like left-wing socialism, multiculturalism, and secularism.
While that is a political stance, of sorts, it is not a judicial philosophy. This Reinhardt fellow embodies all that is wrong with an activist judiciary. He sees his position as lord over the ignorant masses who are too stupid to elect legislators who conform to his vision of how the world should work, and believes that he must slap these peons down as a matter of right.
The more his power gets diluted, the better off we will be.
Proves gay marriage is a bad idea.
Reinhardt is married to Ramona Ripston, who has been executive director of the ACLU of Southern California since 1972, was a cofounder of NARAL in 1969, a leader in People for the American Way, and a longtime political associate and appointee of Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa. Ripston was responsible for forcing Los Angeles County to remove the tiny cross from its seal, and she led the initial court victory attempting to stop the 2003 recall of Governor Gray Davis based on a phony argument about voting machines (which the full Ninth Circuit reversed). Ripston is Reinhardt's third wife and he is her fifth husband.
The above paragraph appears on the Eagle Forum.
It appears just above the heading "PPRA Can Stop School Mischief", about half way down the page.

Ihad to take 2 different types of social justice classes.
One teacher was a flaming leftist (except on abortion) with die hard marxist beliefs, while the 2nd social justice class, had a solid right wing conservative.
The classes were as different as literature and mathematics.
And your right, it isn't a judicial philosophy. Liberal social justice is marxism, unabashed, and unrefined.
What were the classes called?
bookmk ping , read tonight ,and
.... thanks rhema
I'm speechless!
