| Subject: Leftists have a near-monopoly in law schools. They want to ban judges from viewpoint-diversity events. Mon Sep 09, 2019 10:15 pm | |
| Last month Politico published an ignorant essay that accused the Federalist Society of being an “advocacy organization” based on a 35-year-old grant proposal that was never put into practice.
The aim of the article, by a political science professor and Ph.D. student who do not teach law, was to prevent federal judges from “participating in conferences and seminars” hosted by the legal organization, whose members are largely conservative and libertarian.
The entire premise of the essay that Politico chose to publish is bunk, and its recommendation would actually further entrench the overwhelming leftism of law school faculty, according to a high-profile lawyer whose credentials are unimpeachable.
Theodore Olson, whose lawyering convinced the Supreme Court to enshrine a right to same-sex marriage, writes in a Politico rebuttal that the “advocacy organization” described by the political science scholars is actually the American Bar Association:
