{Just substitute Muslims for Jews. Fab, Ed Norton Professor of Law, Carl Schmitt College of Law at the University of Illinois in Champaign}
Schmitt joined the Nazi Party<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party> on 1 May 1933.[12]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-12> Within days, Schmitt was party to the burning of books by Jewish authors, rejoicing in the burning of "un-German" and "anti-German" material, and calling for a much more extensive purge, to include works by authors influenced by Jewish ideas.[13]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-13> In July he was appointed State Councillor for Prussia (Preußischer Staatsrat) by Hermann Göring<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_G%C3%B6ring> and in November he became the president of the Vereinigung nationalsozialistischer Juristen ("Union of National-Socialist Jurists"). He also replaced Hermann Heller as professor at the University of Berlin<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Berlin>,[14]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-14> a position he would hold until the end of World War II<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II>. He presented his theories as an ideological foundation of the Nazi<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism> dictatorship, and a justification of the Führer<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer> state with regard to legal philosophy, particularly through the concept of auctoritas<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auctoritas>.

"San Casciano", home of Carl Schmitt in Plettenberg-Pasel from 1971 until 1985.
Six months later, in June 1934, Schmitt was appointed editor-in-chief of the Nazi newspaper for lawyers, the Deutsche Juristen-Zeitung ("German Jurists' Journal").[15]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-facsimile-15> In July he published in it "The Leader Protects the Law (Der Führer schützt das Recht)", a justification of the political murders of the Night of the Long Knives<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives> with the authority of Hitler as the "highest form of administrative justice (höchste Form administrativer Justiz)".[16]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-DJR-16> Schmitt presented himself as a radical anti-semite<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-semitism> and also was the chairman of a law teachers' convention in Berlin<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin> during October 1936,[17]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-17> where he demanded that German law be cleansed of the "Jewish spirit (jüdischem Geist)", going so far as to demand that all publications by Jewish scientists should henceforth be marked with a small symbol.

Nevertheless, in December 1936, the SS<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS> publication Das schwarze Korps<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_schwarze_Korps> accused Schmitt of being an opportunist, a Hegelian state thinker, and basically a Catholic, and called his anti-semitism a mere pretense, citing earlier statements in which he criticized the Nazis' racial theories. After this, Schmitt resigned from his position as "Reichsfachgruppenleiter" (Reich Professional Group Leader), although he retained his job as a professor in Berlin and his title "Preußischer Staatsrat". Although Schmitt continued to be investigated into 1937, further reprisals were stopped by Göring.[18]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-Bendersky-18>[19]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Schmitt#cite_note-Noack-19>

Perfect!
But now what to call Boalt Hall at Berkeley, where John Yoo is (a student of Harold Koh)?

Great letter. Congrats! This Nazi Law Faculty   have now forfeited the legal, ethical and moral right to run a law school. Not to cause people inconvenience, but I do hope that you could circulate that speech I gave at our Rally on Friday so that everyone knows why.

UI speaker part of U.S. war machine

Fri, 11/04/2016 - 7:00am | The News-Gazette

I and other members of the Champaign-Urbana peace group AWARE (Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort) are disappointed that The News-Gazette chose not to cover our demonstration at the University of Illinois College of Law on Oct. 28. But we were pleased that other local news organizations - notably Fox News Champaign - did so.

We, along with Professor Francis Boyle, a law faculty member, and other local organizations (The World Can't Wait, STEM Boycotts the War Machine, WRFU World Labor Hour, Prairie Greens) were protesting the support of the Obama administration's war-making, as expressed by a speaker at the law school, Harold Koh.

Koh is a lawyer, a Yale dean and professor, and former legal adviser to the State Department in the Obama administration. He was a member of the Reagan and Clinton administrations and is a strong supporter of Obama's drone assassinations. Koh is expected to be appointed to a position in a Hillary Clinton administration, for his support of her war-making.

Like all American presidents for more than a generation, President Barack Obama is making war around the world. He has killed thousands with drone assassinations - for which he is reported to choose the targets himself, from lists prepared by the CIA. And now his administration is threatening Russia with war in Syria - and beyond.

Hillary Clinton threatens to do the same, or worse. Unless the American people stand up to our elected officials and urge them to stop the killing and destruction, humanity may well be doomed.
