Michael Sandel is a Harvard philosophy professor whose course "Justice" has become a sensation, both on the campus of Harvard as well as on youtube and has made him somewhat of a philosophy rock star such that he can fill large venues with people who come to hear him give talks - on philosophy no less.

His main interest is political philosophy, theories of justice, economics, and ethics.

I went with people from MoveOn.Org to protest at Senator Cruz's Dallas, TX office today, for him to do his job, that is to Advise and Consent, as the constitution requires by members of the Senate, regarding a president's nomination to the supreme court. There weren't a whole lot of protesters, but it is a Monday and many people have to work.
