Description
This Wednesday, anti-torture activists will confront two of Berkeley Law's most vocal anti-constitutionalists, advocates for expansion of executive power (most notably suppression of habeas corpus rights of abused prisoners) at the expense of the judiciary branch of government:
John Yoo teaching constitutional law to the next generation of lawyers and judges is a perverse mockery of what a law school education
should be. At best, the professor's opinion of Supreme Court rulings is irrelevant. But deliberate misinterpretation of legal precedent is not only dangerous; it is potentially criminal. Former dean Jesse Choper knowsthis -- or should. And Christopher Edley must stop giving credence to the discredited work of an admitted war criminal.
