  1. What is the name of the law school at which Eastman is a professor? I'd like to check whether it is accredited by the American Bar Association.

  2.  @sangeet9100  I'm still shocked that John Yu, author of the G. DUI Bushit "torture memo" "legalizing" that war crime, got a job as a professor at a reputable law school. There is a premium put on diversity of opinion in colleges and universities of any credibility, but it seems there are moral and ethical limits that should not be ignored. It's acceptable to discuss the ins and outs and good and bad of cannibalism, but not to practice it. John Eastman appears to have gone several steps beyond John Yu's subversion of the rule of law.

  4.  @yoshzlac2429  The media has a history of treating elections as horse races. Every "story" must have "conflict, win/lose. They have since at latest the beginnings of the pandemic been using the word LIE for a LIE, instead of "misleading," and the like.

  5.  @TonicofSonic  The media could have dropped the focus on horse race, and stopped harping on the inconsequential EMAILS. They could have started earlier calling out Trump as a LIAR.

  6.  @oltedders  Oh, boy: another conspiracy "theory".

  7. John Eastman has fried his own ass as concerns his legal career.

  9.  @billrodriguez3399  "Bill Rodriguez" is a hateful bigot and troll. And I note that Russian trolls tend to use "Hispanic" screen names.

  10.  @billrodriguez3399  You mean his lie that he was defending himself?

  11.  @debbiesidebottom5020  Hillary's emails were hacked. The assertion that she used private email was made by the liars. Ivanka and Mark Meads definitely used private email to conduct gov't business. Most call it "projection"; I cut to the chase and call it confession: whenever a Republican is accusing others you can take it to the bank that that is what is in THEIR minds -- after all, that is the source of their accusations against others. The physical manifestation of their deceit is that they are pointing away from instead of at themselves.

  12.  @devinstanley3272  I've attended two universities. It depends on the area of study. It is difficult to share "opinion" in the hard sciences. In the arts it is pretty much required. And in philosophy, at least as a major, one must inevitably have and express opinions. It also depends on the professor. As result of a confluence, during my first year at university I dove in to pursuing creative writing in a Humanities seminar. And the more creative I got -- always adhering to the basics of the course -- the more As I was given. (My focus was on the writing -- though I did "include" the curricula. All in all, it's how much one can produce, and get away with in doing that.) Many who have the most to say critically about the value of college/university education have never actually been to either. The Republicans began their attack on higher education in the 1980s, and that propaganda spread mostly to those who feel inadequate in relation to education. I've been reading "You Must Revise Your Life," by the late poet William Stafford. In it are several brief essays about how he taught college classes. Though he doesn't say it directly, most students have by then been brought up following the rules, always figuratively buying the teachers favor by giving them apples, and therefore expecting guidance. I've had professors who lectured; and I've had professors who allowed the students to lead. There was always assigned reading, but that didn't mean one necessarily read all that, so long as any required writing was focused on one, and substantive, and included at least a quote or two from it. It wasn't that long (writing beyond and outside the norms is arduous work) before I was getting As with a single footnote. The substance was not only showing that I absorbed and understood the material, but also my critical evaluation of it. I both included and went beyond it.

  13. Cursory research finds that his law school, though accredited aby the ABA, is tied at 111th "best law schools" in the US. At one time the original college was absorbed by a "Christian" college.

  14.  @rayhays7005  A law school rated at 111th isn't exactly promising.
