Dunn and Bauer are considered a major D.C. “power couple” but only Bauer shows up in any of my standard left-wing activist search engines. He is a dedicated “Progressive” who specializes in political law, and who appears to have been strongly influenced by the work of 20th century Progressives such as John Dewey, Richard Rorty... and Michael Foucault, who was a profound inspiration to young French Maoists, among others.
I hope Genn will cover this more in depth tomorrow, I have a feeling he will.
Dewey
was the person credited with changing the American education system to what it is today. So he's the guy to thank for all the dumb kids out there.
Rorty just looked like he was full of his own psycho-progressive BS.
And Foucault? In 1975 he dropped acid at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park, and called it the best experience of his life. And after the Iranian revolution he cozied up with the Mullahs.
And these are President Obama's lawyer's "major influences"???
