The death of Justice Scalia has really brought out the worst in some people.

Georgetown Professor Complains After School Shows Respect For Antonin Scalia

Given that Scalia earned his bachelor’s degree from Georgetown, it would seem fitting for the school to honor such an illustrious alumnus after his passing. Georgetown University Law Center dean William Treanor thought the same way, and made a short public statement the day of Scalia’s death.

“Scalia was a giant in the history of the law, a brilliant jurist whose opinions and scholarship profoundly transformed the law,” Treanor said in his statement. “Like countless academics, I learned a great deal from his opinions and his scholarship. In the history of the Court, few Justices have had such influence on the way in which the law is understood. On a personal level, I am deeply grateful for his remarkably generous involvement with our community, including his frequent appearances in classes and his memorable lecture to our first year students this past November.”

But two Georgetown faculty members were deeply upset Treanor would honor Scalia in this manner. On Tuesday afternoon, three days after the statement went out, Professor Gary Peller sent an email to all of the law school’s students and staff complaining about it, incorporating statements from himself and fellow professor Mike Seidman.

Seidman’s part of the message was relatively short and to the point.

“Our norms of civility preclude criticizing public figures immediately after their death,” he said. “For now, then, all I’ll say is that I disagree with these sentiments and that expressions attributed to the “Georgetown Community” in the press release issued this evening do not reflect the views of the entire community.”
