LOL.  I thought a walk down memory lane would be fun for  everyone.  Jim

I would  suggest that Mr. Bopp and Mr. Johnson take this discussion 
somewhere aside  from the listserv.

Thanks.

Well, as a positive matter, that's what these laws do: suppress  
participation. I don't find that shrill to point out, but it's your  listserv.

Please let's not go down this road again.  It does seem that in  the last 
few weeks we have improved in discussing substance and reducing the  number 
of shriller comments and personal attacks.

I hope we can  continue on this trajectory.

I have heard nothing about this program.  And I agree with you  that the 
title is not one that I would use for an AALS  program.

The  Association of American Law Schools has invited faculty to propose “
hot  topic” programs for the upcoming January annual meeting in New Orleans.  
In connection with that invitation, the AALS provides the following  
information: 
“We  want to make you aware of two programs already scheduled for the 
Annual  Meeting.  
One  is the AALS Committee on Professional Development Hot Topic Workshop 
on  ‘Voter Suppression and the 2012 Election’ ….” 
I’m  sure this will be a good program; balance is another question. Perhaps 
 Rick or someone else knows who the presenters will be. The voter  
suppression workshop does not seem to be listed in the detailed program  booklet. 
See _http://aals.org/am2013/AM2013%20Program.pdf_ 
(http://aals.org/am2013/AM2013%20Program.pdf) . 
I  wonder whether it is appropriate for the AALS to use the phrase “Voter  
Suppression” in the description of the program. That seems to presuppose  
that proponents of voter id laws and perhaps other voting regulations  (such 
as active review of voter rolls to eliminate dead or ineligible  persons) are 
engaged in voter suppression. it also makes me wonder  whether the program 
will be at all balanced. You would hardly want to  balance a program by 
including people who want to engage in voter  suppression, would you? I’d think 
inclusion of the phrase “voting  integrity”  would have signaled a more 
balanced approach. I’m also  not sure that this topic is ordinarily one that a “
Professional  Development” committee would deal with. Perhaps the scope of 
that  committee’s responsibilities is broader than the name  suggests.
