This is the first time I've seen my Con Law professor since the early 2000s—whoa!
We did not see eye to eye, especially on the rights of people with disabilities, but he was a good prof overall. (A "B" from him and "A+" from Dershowitz—which I'm still processing 20 years later.)

(PS) I've gotta say, it sounds like Prof. Fried has come around to my way of thinking rather than the other way around. Good for him—I'm learning as I get older that it gets harder and harder to change in certain ways, even as it gets easier and easier in others. Hard to explain.
(PS2) What the professor and I disagreed on most was whether you could exclude certain persons from a protected class because they have a "built-in" political constituency that is *not* they themselves. It seems that he sees now how dangerous that thinking can become over time.
(PS3) One reason SCOTUS allowed the gerrymandering that Professor Fried now decries is that they abdicated all of their responsibilities (to Congress) figuring that as long as we have a two-party system, everyone's getting represented fairly by someone. Now he sees that isn't so.
(I know this video is from a few weeks ago, but it just showed up in my feed—and having not seen Prof. Fried in over 20 years, it just hit me very hard. I remember his class like it was yesterday!)
