this gentleman below: John Hart Ely. Ely became (correction)
the one of the most quoted constitutional scholar in American history, a man who taught generations of law students at Yale, Harvard and then became dean of the law school at Stanford university.
Ely died in 2003 and his NY Times obituary included this passage:
"Professor Ely stressed the importance of giving disfavored minorities access to the political process, particularly in the face of unfair or artificial obstacles erected by the majority. He wrote with special concern about voting rights, free speech and racial discrimination."
Also: "A broader companion study found Professor Ely to be the fourth most frequently cited legal scholar of all time....". Not the first but the fourth.
This was a man devoted to the country, to the Constitution, to the rule of law. If you believe the WC report was a deliberate lie, a coverup, then you have to include Ely among the conspirators who engineered this lie. He was either an accomplice in this lie or a complete fool. And his life showed that he was certainly no fool.
Many of the men of the WC, the staffers, later became outstanding scholars devoted to democracy, the rule of law, and to the American experiment. Conspiracy believers who accuse these men essentially of treason are making a horrible mistake. It's a free country - they believed in it - so go ahead.
