A Very Civil Civil Disobedience

What Do Yo Do When The American Attorney General pays a visit to your Law School? Turn your back on him as he starts to speak, and watch as black hooded colleauges walk in with a simple message from history.

“When you’re a law student, they tell you if say that if you can’t argue the law, argue the facts. They also tell you if you can’t argue the facts, argue the law. If you can’t argue either, apparently, the solution is to go on a public relations offensive and make it a political issue… to say over and over again “it’s lawful”, and to think that the American people will somehow come to believe this if we say it often enough.

In light of this, I’m proud of the very civil civil disobedience that was shown here today.”
