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 Thomasโ€™s unethical conduct. #LawFedi #LegalEthics #JudicialEthics

@heidilifeldman

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 @opendna @heidilifeldman so in your mind, hyperconnected lawyers who will get a half million dollar bonus just for that line on their resume are "working people"

And "don't work for obviously corrupt people" is "punish people for their political associations" in your mind. I guess you're saying that you automatically associate corruption with Thomas's political party?

@amoshiashwili

They arent people who are working? The what now?

also no, I addressed your second point already. If they had inside information about corruption, then yes, you should hold them accountable. Now if your expecting them to act on corruption becoming publicly known, there is a formal system in place to investigate those claims and act on them. It is not an employees responsiblity to determine their bosses innocence or guilt, or to hold him accountable for it.

@opendna @heidilifeldman

@freemo @opendna @heidilifeldman WOW. That's just... Wow.
