[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew him in our 20s. He’s incredibly socially awkward. I don’t understand why he’s managed to get this much prominence and I am completely befuddled as to why Georgetown law hired him[/quote]

I know him as well.  You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to smear him this way.

You know he is brilliant.  At least admit what you know.

And Georgetown recognizes talent.  Plus, Ilya is no racist - if you know him then you know that too.[/quote]

I'll let others debate his character, and I get that he was trying to make a point, but you (and the Tim Carneys and Seth Mandels - hey, maybe it's one of you posting!) have to accept that posting those tweets was incredibly bad judgement and an embarrassment to Georgetown. There was a nasty racial undertone and he publicly pitted two justices on the DC Court of Appeals against each other. It's a very bad look. If I'm Georgetown I'm wondering if the talent outweighs some of the other questionable behavior. And we'd be having a frank discussion about what's expected from the Executive Director of the Center for the Constitution - online trolling is definitely not on the list.[/quote]
