The most pathetic of pinheads are those who populate the hierarchy at academic institutions. Berkeley, Princeton, U of Chicago, Yale, Harvard, whatever. There is nothing impressive about any of these institutions. If they were truly vanguards of open mindedness and independent thought, I would have respect for them. They are not. They are clubs, run by the connected. Nothing less, nothing more.

For example, this guy, Erwin Chemerinsky. He grew up in Chicago and went to the U of C ‘laboratory’ school. If you are not a minority, being admitted to the U of C lab schools requires connections or pedigree. There's no way a kid from the south side whose parents were blue collar would be accepted into the lab school - unless they checked off some other ‘box’ (e.g. non-white, non-Christian).

I guarantee that his world view is skewed and so far off base of reality such that he is like an octopus in the jungle. I would wager a lot of money that every utterance out of his mouth, and everything he writes is predictable and cliche. I would further wager that I could predict with great accuracy all that he espouses. That's not because I am anything special. It's because he's not anything special - despite the pedigree.
