U.S. #law schools should discourage students from applying for clerkships with #ClarenceThomas; faculty should refuse to recommend students for those clerkships; firms and other legal employers should refuse to hire people who have chosen to clerk for Thomas starting this year (when the large extent of his corruption became known). To do otherwise is to be complicit with Thomas’s unethical conduct. #LawFedi #LegalEthics #JudicialEthics

I have no love for Thomas.. but no just ew no. Working for someone doesnt mean you should be an outcast for life... no lets stop with this petty nonsense. Focus on Thomas if you want to boycott someone.

@freemo @heidilifeldman Honestly? Knowing what we know now? Yeah, it should. It's like those who joined the Trump White House: literally everyone in the field knew it was a career-ender so only the stupid, corrupt, or morally bankrupt signed up. Republicans of intelligence or integrity blocked the transition team's phone number.

It's not like someone can hope to learn anything about jurisprudence from the man. It's clearly nothing more than an internship in partisan corruption.

@opendna

I hve no problem with you judging politicians by whatever standards you want.. but working people being denied jobs because of politicial associations.. absolutely not, disgusting.

@heidilifeldman

@freemo really? So you think KKK members should be hired at the Civil Rights division of the Department of Justice?
@cuibonobaby How in the world did you get that from what I just said? Being in the KKK is not a political association.
@freemo Of course it's a political association.
@cuibonobaby No, how is being in the KKK and an assocition with a political figure? It is an organization, not a person, it isnt a political party nor contain any politicians.
@freemo What difference does it make whether the association is with an individual or an organization? If you think the KKK doesn't contain any politicians you don't know much about the history of the KKK.
@cuibonobaby I never said the issue was organization vs individual.. they arent a political party, they arent a political individual. They are neither. What they are is an organization whose purpose it is to harass minorities.
