Damn those pesky 'rule of law' principles - rule according to law; rule under law; and rule according to a higher law - upon which our nation proclaims its founding and continued existence.

Personally, I wonder how she reconciles the reality of her past behaviors with her continued existence. Penance, perhaps.

So any inmate who completed their sentence and who has the appropriate degree is qualified to be a professor?

I personally don't see much, if any concern about penance from her.

She, and her faculty cohorts probably chalk it up to youthful indiscretion.
