A lawyer for the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has embraced complicity in sheltering John Yoo.
In contradiction of previous declarations against the 'Torture Professor', Dean Erwin Chemerinsky now says "I have very high regard for John Yoo as a scholar and as a teacher... I look forward to being his colleague."
The new dean expressed his priorities: Raising money, and continuing to attract "top faculty and students." Presumably those willing to close their eyes to the Federal Torture Act.
Shame on Erwin Chemerinsky.
Shame on the University of California.
Shame on Lawyers who put Career above the Law.
