There’s an effort to get me fired at Cornell for criticizing the Black Lives Matter Movement

Posted by William A. Jacobson on June 11, 2020 330 Comments

There is an effort underway to get me fired at Cornell Law School, where I've worked since November 2007, or if not fired, at least denounced publicly by the school. Ever since I started Legal Insurrection in October 2008, it's been an awkward relationship given the overwhelmingly liberal faculty and atmosphere. Living as a conservative on a liberal campus is like being the mouse waiting for the cat to pounce.

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 09, 2020 85 Comments

In the absence of elected leadership and in the face of police standing by and watching looting in Chicago, Latin gangs are protecting their local businesses and running would be looters out of their neighborhoods. It's hard to fault them for it, but do we really want street gangs acting as law enforcement?

This Video of Rep. Nadler Getting His Glasses Tangled in His Mask is Just… Perfect

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on June 09, 2020 32 Comments

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this video, but I've watched it a lot and I've snorted, because it's just... perfect. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) walks out and gets his glasses hilariously tangled in his mask. A mask that no longer matters because with rioters and looters galore, social distancing is so May. And the scarf. THE SCARF. It's all too much.

White Cops, Leftists Engage in “Ceremony” of Washing the Feet of Black “Faith Leaders”

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on June 08, 2020 69 Comments

As seems to be the case throughout history, those in the midst of historic events rarely see them clearly or understand their significance in the moment. It takes decades to make sense of things, how they fell apart, what eventually took place to turn the tide, and even then, it's easy to get it all wrong.
