Unfortunate Choice of Names.....

Quote:George Mason quickly changes name of Scalia law school after Twitter mocks ‘#ASSLaw’ acronym

Frankly, given his general outlook it seemed like a perfect choice to me.

Hell would have frozen over before Scalia would have hired a dummy from the George Mason Law School.

They were given $20 million from an "anonymous donor" to do it.  For that, they'd have called it the Adolf Hitler School of Law if the guy had wanted it!

Money talk, man.

Speaking of Hitler (again) there were a lot of streets named after him in New York State.  He was a very popular guy and his favorability rating exceeded that of Scalia.

Amusing story, when I broke in with the IRS in 1971 one of the rights of passage was for our On-The-Job Instructors to teach us how to do property searches at the county records center.  This very map was always used for training because of its historical value.  I never bothered to visit the area and I do understand that the street signs have been changed but the approved map of the sub-division was a permanent record.

Several other American towns in other States also had streets named after Hitler.

As noted on the web site:


Quote:As Shaffer writes, “support for Nazi Germany in the United States was a unique blend of German and American ideology rather than just a foreign import.” That being said, American patriotism was limited. To be a member of the German-American Bund, one had to be “Aryan,” with a mission of uniting “similar” people. Indeed, brochures for Camp Seigfried promised: “You will meet people who think like you.”

Kind of sounds like a Trump rally, huh?

Actually it sounds like the brochure for the Constitutional convention of 1787 in Philadelphia.
