Think about all the minds that were tainted by her over the years. {{{shiver}}}
Oh, no question about it. Those are first and second year law students at a top 10 law school -- of course they're going to assume that their professors know so much more than they do, and hang on their words. She clearly radicalized some folks because her schtick was outrage.
On the flip side, I had a very liberal Constitutional law professor who openly admitted he wanted the Supreme Court to engage in policy making with which he agreed if Congress wouldn't make the changes he wanted.
But, he was very open about that, admitted it was controversial, and would always respect conservative disagreement in class. And he'd point out when the more leftist students failed to rebut our arguments. Perhaps best of all, he was honest about court decisions that were simply activism, like Roe. He said it was poorly reasoned and didn't make sense, but that he supported it because he liked the result.
He was a very good professor because he was open about his personal biases, but still taught the law itself very fairly.
