I've resisted coming down too hard on the honorable Bernard Sanders of Vermont. He and I grew up in the same era, doubtless mouthing the same songs, watching on the same evenings Richard Boone and Steve McQueen clean up the Old West. By comparison with two Republican presidential candidates I decline to name, Bernie is Mr. Congeniality — which turns out to be a pity. Our friend Mr. Sanders is getting away with bloody murder.
Sanders' sweep last weekend of caucuses and primaries in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii reveals the disquieting tenacity of the "democratic socialism" he extols, whereby we're going to rob overstuffed Peter to feed undernourished Paul.
BOSTON — A federal judge on Thursday rejected Brandeis University's bid to squash a lawsuit by a student disciplined under its sexual assault policies, ripping the Waltham university's approach to adjudicating such claims.
In an 89-page opinion supporting his decision to allow the lawsuit to move forward, U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV criticized Brandeis for "appear[ing] to have substantially impaired, if not eliminated, an accused student's right to a fair and impartial process."
