When Mr. Vo fired me, not only did he commit a travesty by silencing the only conservative voice at the Aggie, he actually broke the law. Well, he may have broken Contract Law principles, but it is not illegal to breach a contract.

Bump.

I'm glad he one. The left are trying so hard to silence the right. They believe in diversity as long as you agree with them.

Too bad there weren't punitive damages awarded.

Vo cited Birman's "tendency to enrage members of the opposing causes" Ha! Note it's an offense to enrage perverts, baby killers and traitors, but not an offense to enrage people who believe in some kind of morality; namely, conservatives.

Good. It won't shame them, because politically correct ideologues have no shame, but it's another public revelation of their intolerant and bigotry.

but it is not illegal to breach a contract.What? A contract is a legal agreement. To breach it is "illegal" by definition. Just what the hell do you teach?

Breaching an employment contract is not considered a violation of law. Yes, I am a lawyer.
To: calif_reaganite
Birman's "tendency to enrage members of the opposing causes" as the reason for the dismissal. We need to create a FreeRepublic Conservative Hero award for Mr. Birman, and for other Right-minded individuals.

Breaching an employment contract is not considered a violation of law. Yes, I am a lawyer.Semantics. A legal agreement is a legal agreement, i.e., it is an agreement within the bounds of what agreements can be under the law. Failure to abide to a contract may not be a criminal violation, but it sure as hell is a civil violation? Yes?

Is that because it is civil versus criminal, and you are using the word "illegal" in the sense of breaking a criminal law?
To: mountaineer
"Breaching an employment contract is not considered a violation of law. Yes, I am a lawyer."
I do believe it is in Arizona. At least in the sense it can result in a LAWSUIT! Remedies are available.
It is NOT (normally) a criminal matter unless under EEOC!
I am a lawyer, too!

"Illegal" in the sense of violating a law enacted by the appropriate legislative body. I'm unaware that any state legislature, for example, has passed a law saying that people who enter into contracts must comply with them. That's why we refer to it as the "common" law.
To: Glenn
I taught 8th grade math... however, my Contracts Law professor has repeatedly stated that breaching contracts is not a criminal act. It happens all the time. As long as you pay non-breaching party for the loss they incurred (or the expected profit that you suddenly denied them), there is no crime.
Two private parties signing a contract does not create a new law whose violation qualifies as an "illegal" act.
