Law School Discussion

I see that the U.S. just bent to the wishes of the French and Germans on the U.N. Iraq Resolution. Gee, isn't that called "flip flop", that the Republicans always accuse Kerry of?
 
Just think, if Bush had been willing to compromise with the Allies before the start of the war, perhaps we wouldn't have lost so many American lives. It just shows you the folly of being stubborn and unyielding just to appear Texas macho tough. In the end, his lack of negotiating in a diplomatic way, which is what Kerry has been proposing all along, has caused him in the end to look foolish and might possibly cost him the election, not to mention the loss of lives.
 
But he can leave the White House carrying his Bible saying that, "God spoke to me and told me that I had chosen the right course". Right away. I'm sure that God also told him to cut taxes and I'm absolutely positive that God told him to do things that would hurt the environment, for which he was the Creator. Yeah sure.
 
Instead of talking to God George, why don't you start by using common sense and negotiate in the fine art of diplomacy. But if you are not intellectually suited for the job, and didn't really want the presidency and simply got pushed into the whole election thing and then when Gore got more votes then you, you had a silent sigh of relief. You thought "YES! I can finally go home to Texas and put on my jeans and go out with my old hunting dog cutting brush", you're stunned to learn that the Republican dominated Supreme Court has just annointed you with the crown and throne of Presidency. "Shucks, what do I do now!"
 
"I'm screwed! I better go out and surround myself with some bright people that can think for me. I don't think they'll try to brainwash me with their own agenda, do you?"
 
Guess what, they did!

I find that interesting considering your liberal views on gay marriage.

What's so bad about the school?

I have been asking myself and others the same question about NYLS and still don't know the answer.  I agree with msher that rankings have become more important than life itself.  I also agree that there are no bad law schools, just bad students who don't know how to maximize their potential and rise to the top in spite of negative circumstances like bad teachers, students who have no business being there, ineffectual career centers, etc. - and top tier schools are no more immuned to these circumstances than bottom tier schools.  I think the best lawyers are those that seize an opportunity and get as much out of it as possible.  Consider excelling in a 3rd tier school to land a choice starting position the first of many hurdles you will overcome throughout your career.  What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

This looks like it could be gravy.
