Yeah, about that liberal bias in academia.

John Yoo is the hack who argued that Bush got to do whatever he wanted because he was President

But that Obama couldn't.

He works at the law school. I don't have much respect for a torture apologist like Yoo, but this really doesn't have anything anything to do with ideology, considering that they're honoring him for his work at the law school and they honor a pro-privacy rights law professor right above him...

I think the fact that John Yoo has a history of what could be construed as coming very close to outright arguing against the rule of law is of great relevance to his law school work, but I guess that characterization of what he did is subjective.

I mean this is the same place that houses Robert Reich so, at least there's some great ideological diversity. Tongue

On a side note, one of the Econ professors we had ran a campaign to have Yoo kicked out. Sadly it didn't go too well.
