Irish food with Veteran professors

The Yale Law professor veterans like to take out the student veterans for food and drinks from time to time, and we went out last week.  It was fun and the food was great.

The highlight of the evening was talking with the professors who taught here as far back as the 1950s.
Some of them were colleagues of Robert Bork's when he was a Yale Law School professor.  Bork was one of the first conservative thinkers I read in my youth, so it was interesting to hear personal stories.

One of the professors told me that Bork was brilliant, but became more argumentative as time wore on.

Another chimed in: "He was an asshole."

Oh, man.
