I’m not a conservative (but then, neither is Glenn Reynolds) and I’ve never been a big fan of Erwin Chemerinski (or at least his political views–I know nothing about him as a person), but I do agree that he was treated shabbily. Regardless of what Bill Quick thinks.

I think that non-“liberals” can sympathize with this kind of academic McCarthyism in a way that “liberals” cannot, because they rarely experience it.
