Think we’ll just stay with #Asslaw. It’s so appropriate.
It will forever be known as ASS Law.
So, in essence, it’s still The ASSOL. Well played. Truly a befitting and accurate description of its namesake.
Students who take the whole course will be known as ASSwholes
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
Too late…it will forever be known as the ASSOL, after its namesake ASSHOLE Antonin Scalia. Someone should tell these ASSOLs at George Mason U. that trying to fix a popular trend, only makes it more indelible as a lasting legacy. To which Scott Brown says Bqhatevwr…
Yep. A meme has been born, not just an acronym or a poorly worded butt tweet. But nice try.
Haha.
Why the rush to deify this sleazy bigot? His body is still warm and George Mason wants to name their law school after him already?
Because some asshole with a lot of money wanted to make sure nobody forgot what an asshole Fat Tony really was?
Whatever the reason I’m sure this - Why George Mason University Has Received Tens Of Millions From Charles Koch is unrelated.
And it’s not like he was a fine legal mind either. In the end he was confusedly mis-citing his own opinions.
TPM:
An anonymous source familiar with the school’s internal discussion behind the tweak told the Journal the decision to tinker with the name was tentative but that officials were hoping to head off the ridicule prompted by the abbreviation.
Yeah, that’ll work.
The problem is that the Antonin Scalia School of Law thinks we’re ridiculing them with that acronym.
We are not.
I want to reassure them of this: What we are expressing when we use that abbreviation is not ridicule - it is deep and heartfelt contempt, ASSLaw.
Days after George Mason University announced it was renaming its law school to honor the late Justice Antonin Scalia, the university is apparently tweaking the new name to avoid an unfortunate abbreviation, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Wow, that was fast. Almost as fast as the Bush administration renamed the invasion of Iraq from “Operation Iraqi Liberation” to “Operation Iraqi Freedom”.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Well, it should be ASSCLOWNLaw, but this will do for short.
Charles Dickens–through his character, Mr. Bumble–gets the last laugh. The law IS a ass.
Maybe the “Antonin Scalia School of Hateful Opinions and Legal Extremism” is even more appropriate?
#ASSHOLE
SO they think they can head off ridicule merely by changing the hasthtag? That’s funny. Of course my school (UCLA) named a freaking HOSPITAL after Ronald Reagan, in exchange for the promise of a measly $125M, over half of which has yet to be deposited 10 years later…
Never mind ASSLaw. If you just use the acronym you get ASSOL which, to nerd out for a moment was one of the names given to the character of Paul Atreides in the National Lampoon’s version of the novel DUNE. “You are Paul-Mauve Bib, who is Asshol among us.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…Jesus, I have no life, somebody kill me now.
Can we identify future Republican DOJ appointments thusly?
