2:39Now PlayingAntonin Scalia passed away recently and a lot of rich people were upset because he’s been a huge, lifelong supporter of the owner class. George Mason University, known to be conservative, reached out to wealthy donors and one of them wanted their law school renamed to the Antonin Scalia School of Law, or ASSoL. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Almost immediately after George Mason University announced last week that it was changing the name of its law school to the Antonin Scalia School of Law, the pundits pounced: the acronym for the school would be either ASSOL or ASSLAW. Social media erupted.
The name change came after the law school in Arlington, Va., received $30 million in donations, to include $10 million from the Charles Koch Foundation and $20 million from an anonymous donor. It was not scheduled to be announced last week, but Nina Totenberg got word of it and tweeted it, the school soon confirmed it, and numerous unspeakable jokes were soon made.
