Law prof who publicly trashed Scalia shows 'utter lack of intellectual diversity' at Georgetown - The College Fix
That’s according to an email by Profs. Randy Barnett and Nick Rosenkranz to the law school community, posted at Above the Law, in response to Prof. Gary Peller’s very public trashing of newly deceased Justice Antonin Scalia.
Peller not only violated Georgetown Law rules by blasting his “callous” message to the entire law school, say Barnett and Rosenkranz (who got permission from Dean William Treanor to send their message), but he did so in full knowledge – as Peller privately told Barnett – that he would “cause … hurt [to] those with affection for J. Scalia”:

Jesus wept: oh dear, he would "cause hurt". Causing hurt is a by-product of free speech: tough titty. The reasonable objection is that these oafs were premature, not that they shouldn't have said it.
