...is plugging my blog (sort of). According to their December updates:
UT LAW PROF CALLS CONSERVATIVES THE "TEXAS TALIBAN”
University of Texas Law Professor Brian Leiter refers to Christian conservatives as the "Texas Taliban” on his website: http://webapp.utexas.edu/blogs/bleiter/.“While Professor Leiter is certainly well within his First Amendment rights, this kind of rhetoric is not only intemperate, but shameful,” says Marc Levin of the Young Conservatives of Texas. “It reflects poorly on the University of Texas Law School and is inconsistent with the scholarly approach to public policy issues that one would hope a professor would exemplify.”

Marc (who was in my Evidence class as I recall a few years back!) is certainly knowledgeable about shameful and intemperate rhetoric in his role with the Young Conservatives of Texas (about whom I wrote here).
Anyone who's been reading my Texas Taliban Alerts, however, will know that I do not refer to "Christian conservatives" as the Texas Taliban; I use the label for those who want to make the law of their God the law of the land. From my own experience, I know there are many conservative Christians who have respect for religious liberty and separation of church and state. The Texas Eagle Forum is probably not among them, however.
