[Peace] now that it is October, mark your calendar / College of Law campaigning for Clinton

[Karen Aram]

I wouldn’t count on that John, I attended a  UIUC COL lecture a couple weeks ago, for which they brought in Yale law Professor Anil Amar to discuss “Freedom of Speech” All he did, was, after the first fifteen minutes of Poli Sci. 101, and promoting his book on the “Constitution”, was campaign for Hillary and the democrats. It may not have been overt to some but it was obvious to me, especially when he referred to Tammy Duckworth as a worthy candidate. Needless to say I called him on it, and he replied that "we were exercising our freedom of speech.”  So I wouldn’t trust the title or lecture description at all.

While "Killer" Koh may be buddies with Hillary, his topic and its description sounds quite neutral, and I doubt that he will be doing any overt campaigning for Hillary at the UIUC College of Law.  Presumably a President Trump (God forbid!) would have to address the same foreign policy challenges.

By inviting Harold Koh to speak just _11_ days before the 2016 election, the U of I College of Law is campaigning for Hillary Clinton. This is against the Illinois Constitution and the Ethics Act.

 October 28, 2016, join us to demonstrate against this.

"The First 200 Days: Foreign Policy Law Challenges for the Next Administration” lecture by Harold Koh (Yale University)

Friday, October 28, 2016
Max L. Rowe Auditorium, Law Building
12:00 PM–1:00 PM

"As the presidential campaign rages, the foreign policy and international law challenges have been pushed to the background. But after early November they will take center stage. What key foreign policy issues must the next Administration quickly address and what domestic and international legal challenges do they raise?"

Harold Hongju Koh returned to Yale Law School in January 2013 after serving for nearly four years as the Legal Adviser of the U.S. Department of State when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. Koh and Clinton have been friends for a very long time.
