But the owners of those businesses do not want to fire them nor are they going to, awwww

Pssst, this thread is about a Law School, not the NFL.

GOOD FOR THEM!
No, not good for them.
These people aren't fooling anyone and they certainly aren't free speed advocates.

Subservient to who? Law profs are pretty high up on the food chain.

Send a mass email from your work computer all employees about how much you hate Trump. Report back... if you still have access to a computer.

I think they know, but like so many others on the left they are caught up in the fervor of anti-Trumpism, to the point that they're willing to take what is, in terms of the law, is a very weak position on this issue.

I wouldn't think that Jeff Sessions would require such abject obeisance from these law professors as genuflection.

Rather than genuflecting, wouldn't it be more fitting if the professors politely applauded quietly at appropriate points during the address? It would be much more dignified, at least.

All these law skool buffoons stumbling about genuflecting, just because the AG is in town. Whoever heard of such a thing anyhow?
