John Yoo and Jim Chen

Two Americans of Asian descent who clerked for the great Justice Clarence Thomas and are now prominent university law professors (Yoo at Berkeley and Chen at the Univ. of Minnesota).

Obviously, these guys are really smart, but I gotta tell ya, John Yoo's writing is as dry as cardboard (see, e.g., The Powers of War and Peace, which I just started reading) and a lot of Jim Chen's stuff is a bit beyond the scope of my comprehension (science and math were never strong suits of mine).
