Professor: Bashing Bush Got Me on Watch List; Suggests NSA Might Have Taken Him Off

On Monday, Professor Mark Graber, a contributor to the Balkin legal blog, posted a first person account from Professor Walter F. Murphy, a distinguished emeritus Princeton professor of Constitutional law, who was initially denied a boarding pass when trying to fly in March and was told by an airline employee that he was likely on a Transportation Security Administration watch list due to having criticized the administration.

CAN WE IMPEACH THESE BASTARDS ALREADY?

7. just as a side note, he was was never a "princeton professor of constitutional law"
that is, he was always a professor in the politics department. he was a constitutional law scholar, in the sense that he studied constitutional law. he held an endowed chair called the mccormick professor of jurisprudence.

princeton university does not have a law school.

11. Yep, everybody knows that Princeton Professors are terrorists
...and just because he is 70+ years old doesn't mean he is not ready to blow himself and everyone on the airplane to pieces so he can enter paradise and have his own set of 100 virgins. And, if he is a liberal then for sure he is an anarchist and that would make him ten times more dangerous. Strip search and wand him naked

:sarcasm: :wtf:
