George Mason University School of Law is considered "conservative," at least by law school standards.

Several nights ago, I found myself arguing with a hyperpriviledged, self-identified anarcho-socialist (don't ask me how that works) about the MSA 11. He and his friends believed them to have been convicted by a racist Orange County jury, under unconstitutional laws. As we were discussing the...

Just like they did when they found a crazy sign at a Tea Party rally. On the other hand, it might be dismissed as a mere aberration, with serious caution urged not to use the actions of a few to impugn an entire movement. (h/t comment by myiq2xu) Update: More of...
