Shysters opposed to the Constitution.

I presume the author of the question was Eric Holder.

I am an attorney, and a member of the Federalist Society. I have been known to leave my membership off of a resume when I thought my politics might have been an issue to the interviewer. I’m not changing who I am, and if they asked me, I’d be honest. But, I don’t see the point in highlighting it if I suspect it may raise an objection.

Universities reject potential faculty members who appear to have conservative leanings all the time. This is not even an important consideration today...Republicans are persona non grata as teachers.

I have a friend with a PhD and many years experience on Wall Street. When he applied for a teaching job at a major university in the midwest, he was interviewed and not hired. When he checked for pointers with the interview committee...he was told privately, that some feared he was a Republican...and they didn’t want one of those on campus.

True story. Probably typical.

Can non-lawyers join? This sounds like a great recruiting tool for the Federalist Society - “we’re the ones liberals think are dangerous.” :)

Well, as general counsel for a prominent company that engages outside lawyers, I often make the opposite analysis: I seriously doubt the judgment and honesty of anyone who is a dyed-in-the-wool, card-carrying, vociferous liberal.

In my first job out of law school, I worked at a small plaintiff’s firm doing bottom of the barrel injury claims and such. We interviewed another new attorney a few months after I started, and I thought he did well. However, my boss later told me he didn’t want to hire him because he seemed too conservative, and thought people should have to work for their money, and that wasn’t what got us paid.

The solution is to simply NOT HIRE THIS LAW FIRM.

What’s so different with universities preventing conservative professors from receiving tenure? Do you think it’s a coincidence that universities are so dominated by liberals? Liberals are simply the most intolerent people on the face of the earth. They are so arrogant about how right they are, that they don’t even realize it.

The Ethicist, Randy Cohen, said politics should not be a factor... that reasonable people differ over politics. "I am tempted to believe that those whose politics differ from mine lack 'judgment and personality' and taste in clothes and finesse on the dance floor," Cohen said. "But this proposition is unsupportable." The lawyer ignored the advice, Cohen wrote in an update. He or she...rejected every Federalist Society member.
Thanks Behind Liberal Lines.
