A group of more than 1,100 law school professors from across the country is sending a letter to Congress on Tuesday urging the Senate to reject the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) for attorney general.
The letter, signed by professors from 170 law schools in 48 states, is also scheduled to run as a full-page newspaper ad aimed at members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will be holding confirmation hearings for Sessions on Jan. 10-11.
"We are convinced that Jeff Sessions will not fairly enforce our nation's laws and promote justice and equality in the United States," states the letter, signed by prominent legal scholars including Laurence H. Tribe of Harvard Law School, Geoffrey R. Stone of the University of Chicago Law School, Pamela S. Karlan of Stanford Law School and Erwin Chemerinsky of the University of California, Irvine School of Law.

Let's see, tenured liberal theoreticians vs. those who make practical applications of the law dealing with bad guys every day?
National Sheriffs’ Association Supports Senator Jeff Sessions for Attorney General
Does this fall into the “lamentations of their women” category?
LOLOL! Absolutely spot on!
This action gives the leftist MSM anti-Sessions grist for their mills. Like self-created talking points. This action will be trumpeted far and wide, as you might expect. This is just coordination of the leftists across the sectors of society which they control, so as to take down Trump and his appointees.
Wow, thanks for the math there. Know how many ambulances there are?
“Those WERE the baked potatoes. “
ROFL! Nice!
Carol Swain of Vanderbilt Law is for Sessions. That’s good enough for me.
This tells us all we need to know about law schools in this country and why the ABA is such a mess of political cowardice.
The key word in the letter was “equality.” Nowhere in the oaths of office is there the word equality. It is a word that is the key to socialistic change desired by the left.
“.........more than 1,100 law school professors oppose Sessions”?.......
All the more reason to swear him in. There needs to be some “real” justice in this country and starting with those professors would be a perfect place to start. Before those idiots came on the scene, the U.S. was a country of laws. Those idiots twisted things around to fit their own agendas and brainwashed their students to think they were right.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Who cares......
“More than 1,100 law school professors nationwide oppose Sessions’s nomination as attorney general”
Much to my chagrin, after entering law school and the legal profession, I have found that most lawyers (ESPECIALLY the academics) are a bunch of libs. So much for logical reasoning tests being in any way determinative of intelligence.
This is just a propaganda piece by the Washington Post. Ignore it.
Tribe thought that the Massachusetts Democrat Party “15% Rule,” which failed in Committee in the Massachusetts legislature, was a “stupid rule” until he found that an attack on it was underway which would have nullified Ted Kennedy’s 1982 nomination, at which point, in the face of the “Times, Places, and Manners” clause in the Constitution, he completely flip-flopped in the hopes that Kennedy would appoint him to the SCOTUS.
In 2008, 8 years ago, there were over 17,000 law schools, not professors, law schools in the US. The size of this contingency of “professors” that sent this information in is smaller than the custodial staff at 1/10th of them. Big deal.

The best endorsements are always unsolicited! Pres Trump is right over the target! Fire away!
Are you sure that’s like 340 law schools per state. If I include DC, Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa & the Marianas Trust territories that’s still over 300 per locale.
The last conservative at my law school retired in 1996 at age seventy. A huge public supporter of Justice Rehnquist and critic of the leftward swing of the profession. None like that there now.
