Two of the dumbest political and economic philosophies in the history of civilization are Marxism and unregulated capitalism. Failure to regulate banks is a sure way to cause a collapse that puts Marxists or other authoritarians in control.
Confirm her.

I have yet to meet an intelligent person in America who believes in either Marxism or unregulated capitalism. Our capitalist economy will thrive if we find the middle ground and stay there. Saule Omarova should be confirmed for OCC.
If I saw a shred of sympathy for Marxist economics or philosophy in any of the many publications Saule Omarova has written in the United States, I would have strongly opposed her nomination to the OCC.
It's simply not there. The Senate GOP is telling a boldfaced lie!
Shameful!
Saule Omarova said under oath that she doesn't remember joining a Facebook group of crazies. I believe her. Some subversive groups think I'm a member because I signed up for something else years ago. The leader of one group last January advocated overthrow of the U.S. Government.
Question to ask Senator John Kennedy (R LA) (under oath):
"Are you or have you ever been a member of an organization that has advocated the overthrow of the United States government or given aid and comfort to persons advocating the overthrow of the United States government?"

The University of Chicago for decades has lived in an intellectual bubble, indulging in abstract theory while crime overtakes the surrounding community. Better policing is a solution, but so are racial justice, affordable housing, and economic opportunity.
wgntv.com/news/chicago-n…
The solution is NOT the U. of Chicago law professors telling law deans to be silent about racism and the killing of George Floyd and other unarmed Black men. Reforming policing is essential to fighting crime, and all community leaders need to be part of the conversation.
Here's an idea: How about U. Chicago academics stop whining about "cancel culture" and people being too "woke" and instead focus on sky rocketing crime, racism, lack of housing and limited economic opportunity in the surrounding neighborhood.

Why does the University of Minnesota have higher in-state tuition than flagship campuses in surrounding states?
Let's start with a bought election to the Board of Regents.
We need a new legislature and a new governor. Voters have had enough!

Card games in an academic program? How about lower tuition, less spending and letting students play cards on their own?
startribune.com/bridge-playing…
U. of Minnesota tuition is over three times tuition in 2000. How many families (other than families of politicians and PAC donors) do you know who make three times what they made in 2000?
Tuition is 12 times more than in 1980.
Time to boot the politicians.

Attn. law professors:
Earn $1000 honorarium and trip to Squaw Creek ski resort. Learn all about free market economics and evils of government regulation. Let the corporate donors foot the bill!
There's an even fancier program too -- but that's for judges.
masonlec.org/events/worksho…
"public choice, including interest group theory, rent-seeking, rent-extraction, agency capture, bureaucracy and constitutional economics, regulatory competition, the political theory of loopholes, Bootleggers and Baptists phenomena, and public choice of the judiciary."
Bootleggers and Baptists is a theory about opposing groups supporting regulation that benefits them but not the public. E.g. Prohibition. Then we can compare all government regulation to Prohibition.
But let's not talk about abortion. That might upset the right wing donors.

Did Leiter bother to check this person's blog before promoting her. She posted (see comment below) saying Biden's DOJ Civil Rights head, Obama’s 21st Century Policing Task Force, the Yale administration and myself are all "Woke KKK."
MAGA Meltdown?
Yup.

Leiter makes a fundraising pitch for the litigation against Yale here. What is he trying to accomplish with this?
Makes absolutely no sense.
leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2021/02/s…
This person just opened a Patreon account and is using this "woke" theme and attacks on myself and others to raise money. We have entered the realm of the absurd.

Trump Administration officials were "doing deals and lots of favors for people, including foreign countries. Then they go out into the private sector and are finding they made a lot of friends in government and now they’re being rewarded.”

Most Federalist Society members are more conservative than I am on most issues, but this flap is ridiculous. The Federalist Society contributes to much needed debate at law schools. My objection is when they get involved with nominating, confirming or blocking judges.
An organization such as the Federalist Society can and should promote the conservative viewpoint in open debate of legal issues, but it loses credibility if it also gets involved in behind the scenes lobbying on selection of judges who decide those issues.
This blog is nuts. Leiter says I'm immoral because I object to my name being in a Tweet about a "hoax" by law schools and "Fake News Press" against the Federalist Society. Then he says I'm not part of the "conspricy." Why is he republishing this rubbish?
