Top Law Schools Promote Ditching the Constitution
Think tanks contend that the radicalization of attorney education threatens American freedom in a never-before-seen way
By: Darlene McCormick Sanchez, Epoch Times, August 25, 2023:
Story continues below advertisementIn almost every state, law students who pass their state bar examination, which allows them to practice law, take an oath to support the U.S. Constitution.
But the country’s top law schools teach future lawyers and judges the opposite.
Many now teach that the U.S. Constitution, the supreme law of the nation since its ratification in 1788, is broken and should be
At least that’s what two members of conservative think tanks believe after reviewing courses at the country’s Top 10 law schools, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report in 2022. They examined the teaching at Yale, Stanford, Harvard, and Columbia universities and others.
Law professors at elite schools are open about their disdain for the U.S. Constitution, the researchers found.
“They’re saying they want to get rid of the Constitution—they’re making no secret about it,” said J. Christian Adams, president and general counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. He’s also worked for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center and former DOJ counsel, agreed.
The radicalization of law schools is a threat to freedom not previously encountered in the nation’s history, Mr. von Spakovsky said.
“In fact, some of them are very direct in teaching kids that they need to be revolutionaries, according to these courses that these law school students are taking,” he told The Epoch Times.
Pitching the Ditching of the Constitution
In 2022, Ryan D. Doerfler and Samuel Moyn—who teach law at Harvard and Yale universities, respectively—wrote a New York Times editorial titled “The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed.”
In it, they wrote that the struggle over the Constitution has proven to be a dead end for liberals. They called the founding document “undemocratic” and “inadequate.”
“The real need is not to reclaim the Constitution, as many would have it, but instead to reclaim America from constitutionalism,” they wrote in the piece.
The writers reasoned that it would be far better if liberal legislators had the power to make a case for abortion and labor rights on their own merits without having “to bother with the Constitution.”

There is a big movement going on with the Democrat-Socialist party to radically change the United States from a constitutional republic with representatives elected by its citizens to a single party communist system where a dictator is chosen by the communist party. These present United States constitution is a big obstacle to this that they must eliminate.

The commies have been at this for along time and have turned American medicine, education and the legal system and many other institutions as well as much of the fed gov into their puppets. In the 70’s this was obvious and we did nothing to stop it.

These same indoctrination institutions have been against the Constitution and Anti-American for many years. This is the reason why our judicial system is so screwed up.

Just remember that it was a cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt that authored the Communist Manifesto. Clinton Roosevelt published in 1841 while in the NY Assembly the same year a communist commune opened in Oneida, NY. His book had a blue print for the New Deal and FDR’s NRA.
Anyone who has doubt should compare what he advocated for to what Karl Marx did.

The Dems gave America this one:
2. Heavy progressive income tax
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance
4. Confiscation of property of all emigrants and rebels

5. Creation of a Central Bank
The Dems gave America this one:
6. Government control of Communications & Transportation
7. Government ownership of factories and agriculture
8. Government control of labor
9. Corporate farms, regional planning

IF they are successful there will be no more Americans, just ELOI as describes in HG Well’s book The Time Machine. Or watch Rod Taylor’s movie The Time Machine. The Morlocks, like Bill Gates, will not be eating bugs, just ELOI.

The BAR that lawyers “pass” to become lawyers stands for British Accreditation Registry. That’s really a slap to America’s face. So we really need to get rid of maritime law that these law schools are pedaling. DC has a lawyer problem. And most politicians are either lawyers or failed lawyers. We need to bring back the original 13th amendment that barred lawyers or former lawyers to be politicians.
Those institutions bucking to get rid of the Constitution should have their accreditations removed and Federal Funding ended until they remove professors involved in this.
