Whining conservative seeks job as Constitutional expert. Montana edition

HELENA - University of Montana professor Rob Natelson, accusing the Law School of discriminating against him for years because of his conservative political views, has asked the state Board of Regents to overturn a decision denying him the opportunity to teach constitutional law.


It's all about me.

"I am a political conservative," he said in a 24-page supporting document. "To put it mildly, my law school colleagues are not. My views are fairly mainstream for Montana as a whole. I supported Ronald Reagan's campaigns for president and voted for President George W. Bush. I favor school choice, constitutional tax limitation and freedom-oriented solutions to social problems."

“I publicly criticized the extreme activism of the Montana Supreme Court, with which the law school has a relationship too close to be appropriate for an academic institution."


Maybe the fact that he is in such violent disagreement with the current Supreme Court is why he has being denied the position teaching constitution law.

This distinguished professor of law has not cited any student support. Apparently the law students are not rallying to his cause. Students demand a usable education which means they want to learn about mainstream law – not listen to the rants of a personal crusade on the so called "“extreme activism of the Montana Supreme Court”.

All he's doing is publically announcing his political views and crying victim.
