It would be excellent if he were just to say “we are never making a deal with this mafia-ass organization, we’ll see them in court if they really want to press this lawless bullshit further” but I notice that he did not.

    Does not say much for Harvard Law if they cave on such bullshit. What scared of the high quality jures of 0-99 team Trump? The galactic legal mind of checks notes Alina Habba got your professors worried?

    Harvard made a deal with the racist mafia Billionaire Bill Ackman to oust Claudine Gay nobody batted an eye then. Karma a bitch. I think Bill should fork out the half a billion dollars for he is the one who started this whole mess.
