LAT on Chemerinsky

The LAT editorializes today on the hiring/firing of Erwin Chemerinsky by UCI. Predictably, the LAT is fighting mad about the firing. Wonder what their position would have been if Chemerinsky had been a conservative.

The LAT also published today an opinion piece by Doug Kmiec which glowingly praises Chemerinsky and argues that UCI made a serious mistake in rescinding Chemerinsky's appointment. Kmiec's piece is the kind of piece you'd like to see liberals write occasionally.

UCI's mistake was in offering the job to Chemerinsky. There is no way they could not have known his political views before they offered him the job.
