Letter to Dean Chemerinsky on Behalf of American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists
By Robert Garson
The American Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists (AAJLJ) is the voluntary bar association of American Jewish lawyers. We are a national nonprofit association that represents the American Jewish legal community on legal issues that affect, and are of importance to, the community, including; freedom of religion, civil rights, human rights, access to justice, social justice, and defense of the rule of law. The Association also advocates upon and defends against matters affecting the global Jewish community such as antisemitism and those which are covers for antisemitic claiming only a desire to undermine the State of Israel such as the BDS movement. We are also privileged to have amongst our members student lawyers.
We were appalled to hear that at a prominent law school, such as UC Berkeley, antisemitic acts are being repeatedly tolerated, condoned, and by such inaction, encouraged. That nine (9) student groups have been permitted to amend their bylaws to ensure that no speakers who support the state of Israel or Zionism are permitted to be invited to speak is abhorrent and appalling. For millennia, ever since the first diaspora, Jewish liturgy has called for a return to the land of Israel and a clear message has been given to Jews, you as a people, a race and a religion hold beliefs that are not welcome even to speak at Berkeley.
At its core, such a stance is intellectually bankrupt, as the students are openly foreclosing having a speaker being heard, including current faculty and staff, because of their internal beliefs, even when speaking on non-Israel related issues. These actions cast doubt on the caliber and quality of both lawyers and faculty at Berkeley.
The student lawyers are being taught that law is a tool by which a race or religion can be openly discriminated against, in exactly the same way that black people were refused the right to purchase properties in certain areas, in exactly the same way that voting boundaries have been gerrymandered. By using the bylaws to restrict, is using a legal tool to oppress – lawfare.
The faculty clearly is bereft of ideas but also knowledge and research in that it is unable to apply the law to protect its Jewish students. The Supreme Court was clear in Christian Legal Soc. Chapter of the Univ. of California, Hastings Coll. of the L. v. Martinez, 561 U.S. 661, 130 S. Ct. 2971, 2973, 177 L. Ed. 2d 838 (2010) that a college of law’s non-discrimination policy barring discrimination on a number of bases, including religion and sexual orientation. UC Berkeley has such a policy If a society violates such a policy, that can be found here for faculty and here for students.
UC Berkeley is openly contradicting the well-trodden principle that “[a] vibrant dialogue is not possible if students wall themselves off from opposing points of view”), Martinez 561 U.S. at 705, 130 S.Ct 2971. As such, a clear message needs to go out form the law school that in the form of prohibiting these organizations namely Berkeley Law Muslim Student Association, Middle Eastern and North African Law Students Association, Womxn of Color Collective, Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Queer Caucus, Community Defense Project, Womxn of Berkeley Law, and Law Students of African Descent from using funds, facilities, and official channels of communication if their bylaws are is predicated on discriminatory criteria.
Bizarrely, as we can see in light of the Abraham Accords, with record engagement, investment and dialogue between Muslim lands and the state of Israel, such obscurantism in a student society would not be seen in the United Arab Emirates, or Morocco. The fact that any female or queer group would be targeting Israel, where such individual groups enjoy more freedoms than in this country, is intellectually bankrupt.
In the spirit of free speech, I offer myself to speak at Berkeley Law school to debate anyone on the issue of whether a law school is permitted, constitutionally, to regulate student groups that promote discriminatory conduct. That is if Berkeley itself does not find a Zionist Jew of north African descent’s personal beliefs a bar to debating law.
It goes without saying that until this matter is resolved and we, as an organization, can be assured that UC Berkeley is educating its lawyers properly, that we would urge members of the AAJLJ to think twice before hiring a UC Berkeley law graduate. They are clearly ones who might crumble in the face of a contrary opinion, which we know is unheard of in the law.
Robert Garson is President of the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, a national organization representing the interest of Jewish lawyers and community at large.

An Epidemic of Cognitive Impairment?
Why is the supposed party of youth dominated by such frail and forgetful elderly?
by Victor Davis Hanson
President Joe Biden, the nominal head of the Democratic Party, is 79. But he increasingly acts and sounds 89.
Recently, Biden has pivoted repeatedly on stage with his arm outstretched to shake the hand — of someone not there.
On one recent occasion, Biden called out for Representative Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., who passed away in a car crash in early August. He was insistent, shouting to the crowd, “Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie? I think she wasn’t going to be here — to help make this a reality.”
Biden’s fantasy was the reality that Walorski is no longer with us.
Biden slurs his words. He truncates sentences. He speaks in a muddled voice that often makes comprehension impossible. When questioned, he grows irate, growls, and stutters.
Biden’s messaging is even more confusing than his medium. On any given day, Biden may impetuously announce that U.S. soldiers will defend the soil of Taiwan, or that the “killer” Russian President Vladimir Putin, unhinged head of nuclear Russia, must be removed from office promptly.
If Biden doesn’t like a question, he may deride the reporter as a “stupid son of a bitch.” He habitually lies about everything from COVID-19 vaccinations being unavailable until his presidency to the nature of his son’s military service.
Biden confuses Iran with Ukraine. He calls a senior African American assistant “my boy.”
For much of the Trump presidency, leftist opponents sought to remove him by the 25th Amendment. A Yale psychiatrist diagnosed Trump in absentia and declared him deserving of a straitjacket forced intervention. Partisan charges grew so intense that Trump voluntarily took — and aced — the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
Strangely, the same Left armchair psychiatrists offer no such worries about Biden’s clear mental decline.
One reason Biden enjoys immunity from removal is that his 57-year-old vice president, Kamala Harris, is seen to be even more incoherent and ill-informed.
Harris cannot plead age as the cause of her mental confusion. Yet, the more the public sees and hears Harris’ mixed-up word salads, and bizarre cackling spells, the more it is convinced that she is either ignorant or intellectually lazy — or both.
Recently while at the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas, she read from a prepared speech that the United States honors its “very important,” “strong,” and “enduring,” “alliance” — with the communist, genocidal “Republic of North Korea.”
For those other than the vice president, North Korea is the sworn enemy of the United States, and is officially known as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.”
Millions of Floridians remain currently displaced by Hurricane Ian. In response, Harris recently reassured them that impending federal assistance would be predicated not on need or individual disasters, but the basis of skin color.
Translated that would mean that millions of the homeless, white middle-class should wait in line for relief, given Harris’s promises to “fight for equity, understanding not everyone starts at the same place.”
Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi is 82. At times she too seems trapped in her world disconnected from reality. Pelosi recently mixed up Taiwan with mainland Communist China, and thus exclaimed “China is one of the freest societies in the world.”
She stood up and weirdly rubbed her clenched fists together when Biden in his state of the union address darkly mentioned the dangers of soldiers inhaling toxic fumes from burn pits.
Of course, after one of Trump’s SOTU addresses, Pelosi proceeded indignantly to tear up her copy of the speech on national television.
More recently, Pelosi defended open borders and the vast influxes of illegal aliens by crassly claiming “We need migrants to pick crops.”
Pelosi’s startling revelation of progressive condescension was reminiscent of NBC retweeting the liberal commentator who said of the movement of immigrants, “It’s like me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there.”
The Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania John Fetterman is running for senator in his home state. His handlers try to keep him from questioners. They duck debates. And they count on the media to edit videos of his increasingly rare and bizarre appearances.
Why?
Fetterman recently suffered a severe life-threatening stroke, the details, and prognoses of which he has yet to fully disclose.
Like Biden, Fetterman is now severely cognitively impaired. He cannot finish a coherent sentence while campaigning.
Almost daily Fetterman suffers long bouts of incoherence. He even becomes confused over where exactly he and his crowd are: “Send us back to New Jersey and send me to DC.”
The Democratic Party’s top hierarchy is run by octogenarians and septuagenarians. In the case of Biden and Pelosi, their powerful positions and age-related cognitive disabilities startle both Americans and allies abroad.
Why is the supposed party of youth dominated by such frail and forgetful elderly?
Maybe because the alternative of the next generation of would-be leaders waiting in the wings — like Kamala Harris or John Fetterman — is more frightening still.
And:
What made liberals become so nasty? I suspect their belief they are better and above the law and their fellow man.

Whoopi Goldberg’s Latest Politically Biased RACIAL Comment Is Outrageous!
Whoopi Goldberg Claims Herschel Walker Was Only Nominated Because He’s Black
(ConservativeInsider.org) – The Georgia US Senate race is a critical one as Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Herschel Walker (R) vie for a spot in the currently split 50-50 congressional house. However, a recent scathing report from The Daily Beast claimed Walker paid for his girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009, something he flatly denies. While discussing this on “The View,” host Whoopi Goldberg further insulted Walker by saying he only won the nomination due to his race.
On Tuesday, October 4, Goldberg told her fellow co-hosts the GOP only nominated Walker, the former football star, in order to “get somebody black in” the race.
Host Sunny Hostin also chimed in with her surprise that Walker was “the best the Republicans have to offer” Georgians. These hosts clearly do not like Walker and are using racial outrage to support their political opinion. But in the end, it is not up to talk show hosts to decide if he wins; that is up to Georgia voters.
The latest InsiderAdvantage-Fox 5 poll has Warnock taking 47% of the votes, with Walker at 44%. The survey spoke with 550 Georgians on Tuesday, October 4, after the abortion allegations were published, and has a margin of error of 4.2%. This means the race could still be either man’s win, although if neither wins 50% of the vote, they will enter a runoff. Now, America gets to watch the rest of this race unfold.
