POLITICAL DEATH THREATS: Will Law Professors Rally Around (A Conservative) One Of Their Own? “There are vile people out there. As I’ve pointed out before, soon after I started this blog the Obama supporters started attacking me via e-mail and at times it has been vicious. The e-mails are sent not only to me, but to others who know me in an attempt to interfere with my employment. It doesn’t work, but it is not a pleasant experience the first few times it happens, although now it is something of a joke. So I feel for Mr. Henderson. But I wondered, how many law professors will come to his defense either privately or publicly?” (Bumped).
