    yep.
    for all the yelling and screaming about how bad the war is, while code pinko claims "Berkeley is against the war"

    we're responsible for all of the worst things resulting from it. \

    probably why a group of 20 loudmouthed idiots shouldn't speak for a whole city

      Yeah, instead, it should just be a couple of stooge lawyers working for GWB and The Great Dick. Still, it is mind boggling that the Code Pink folks haven't been picketing out in front of Sproul...guess the University controls the parking spaces or something...

        I agree. It's pretty disgusting that he's teaching here. This seems to either have gone completely under the radar or people just don't care.

          Hey, Dean Edley "cares":

          www.law.berkeley.edu/news/20...008.html

          Of course, Edley fails to cite the other Sections of the UC Faculty handbook that Yoo has obviously violated (not upholding or demonstrating competence in his field, not honoring his oath of office nor his University Oath to the Constitution, etc...there are several law websites around the country pouring over all this at this moment)--but that's okay, Yoo is tenured "so there is nothing we can do about". I also like Dean Edley's pointing out that Yoo was not a "decider". No, he just didn't demonstrate any skills as a lawyer, let alone a UCB Faculty Member who is now teaching Constitutional Law! Situation A-OK! Um, Dean Edley, maybe you should read up on how lawyers were prosecuted at Nuremburg...

    ...nothing happens in Berkeley?>

    For once, Timbo I couldn't agree with you more.

    Where are the code pink people and all the rest?

    Man, that guy Yoo makes me literally sick to my stomach...and here he is *teaching* law in Berkeley of all places. It's an abomination!

      Guess we can't all be perfect. Oh, sorry, I wasn't the one who brought your disagreeableness with me to this thread. Which is odd...since I've never met you and, frankly, can't point to a specific instance where I've deserved your ire. But, you know, if you can pester Yoo at UCB as much as you've pestered me here on tribe...I and the rest of the civilized world sure would appreciate the re-channeling of your energies in that more progressive direction.

        I've never pestered you. Relax! It's a beautiful spring sunday.
        I'm not disagreeable..and this isn't the "Heated Debate" tribe.

        As far as re-channeling goes...well I appreciate your kind concern but nope...my channel is A-OK.
        LOL

        Peace out.

          Yes, well, "Skylar", despite the sad loss of a potential "political ally" like yourself, based on your behaviour here

          harbinhotsprings.tribe.net/thre...c125f

          and later here

          harbinhotsprings.tribe.net/thre...45bb0

          I can only reiterate what I said in those other threads: PLEASE STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND ON TRIBE; STOP HARASSING ME ON TRIBE. It was you who brought your trolling, irrational, brownie points with your "friends", dislike for me into this thread, my thread...which you didn't have to do but chose to mention...just like you chose to do in the threads I reference above. If you want to apologize for that kind of immature behaviour, perhaps I might be willing to listen to you in future. Until then, stop scrounging around tribe looking for excuses to remind me of your behaviour in those other threads just so you can get attention you obviously do not merit.
