I know this is not strictly “one-for-one”, as analogies go… but even so, it is deeply ironic that John wants people who protest the Gaza War of ‘24… blackballed, from large law firms.

That Sullivan & Cromwell (bending to billionaire hedge funded / Bill Ackman pressure) is going to try to avoid hiring any law student who made an appearance at any antiwar rally… is frankly, a sad reminder of dark days of the past.

An Un-American past. A McCarthy past.

That I might disagree with the more extreme protestors… is irrelevant. I disagreed with the more extreme anti-Vietnam War protesters, too — those who spit on our returning troops, for example.

And those who “took over” campus buildings, at Dartmouth, in 1969 — for days on end.

But that (various forms of protest) is… more than sporadically, part of college life. Of learning and growing, in the robust liberty of America.

And it was for John in 1969.

Now 55 years later, he would blackball kids who did just what he did.

He should thank his whyte privileged, mediocre stars… that no one ever did the same — to him. Damn.

What a feckless… putz.
