It is not just the Law schools taking this hit, Dr. Reich, it is the Legal Profession. This was a noble profession of very, very long standing. People like Cruz, De Santis, Rubio, and two many others are blackening this profession. As are members of the formerly Supreme Court. The American Bar Association needs to investigate and take action. If we are once again to hold the Legal Profession in the esteem it used to deserve then it is up to the membership of the American Bar Association and every State Bar Association to demand that their profession uphold its duty to the public as a whole and condemn those who trample its reputation into dust.

ı feel the deepest profoundest sense of grıef over the disappearance of the country where ı grew up. at age 80 and a 100% disabled us veteran who happened to enlist during the cuba crisis ...i have seen the end of the usa starting with bush v gore and five us supreme court justices taking massive bribes openly selling out our democracy and virtually no real outrage left right or center... gore kerry obama all getting along quite nicely with the systematic dismantling of law in favor of the power of the few . and I fail to comprehend it nor how and why obama's selling off a democratic super majority in both houses so he would not preside over any triumph of progressive policy under his administration ruling out single payer medical care and just reimbursement of taxpayer investment in medicine and every other industry in the economy, every industry benefitting from us industrial policy and not returning a sou to the taxpayer but getting tax relief transferring 90% of gain in productivity from workers to the top 1%

transforming the country in the last 30 some odd years from the world's most socially mobile to its least, all the while stiffing working people with every increasing debt and scamming our working class with every increasing interest on students education. while building the world's largest penal system torturing poor people.
