Bias CLE 599 to 1
Thursday, March 04, 2004
THAT'S FOR ME TO KNOW AND YOU TO FIND OUT
I have asked our friends at the CLE Board what ideologies are eligible for elimination of bias credit. I even gave them a list of examples in 1995 and again in 2001. To date, they have not responded. One of the many reasons for the ideological imbalance (599 liberal, one conservative) is the vagueness of the rule and the refusal to answer simple questions. Anyway, here is the list:
