MILWAUKEE -- Former U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold is moving from politics to the world of academia.

Marquette University Law School says Feingold will be a visiting professor of law starting in the spring semester.

The Milwaukee school said Wednesday that the three-term Democratic senator will teach an elective course called Current Legal Issues: The U.S. Senate. It will be open to upper-level law students.

Feingold's third term in the Senate ended Monday. His replacement is Ron Johnson, a Republican businessman from Oshkosh set to be sworn in Wednesday.

1. Last night I was at the Post Office here in La Crosse and noticed the sign "Senator Feingold"

indicating his office was upstairs and it made me sad. Just sad.

2. Bet there will be a lot of students clamoring to get into that class.

But haven't the students already made their class selection for the Spring?

5. If Marquette is on the semester system, registration continues on through the first week of class.

7. Someday maybe it will be President Feingold

If Americans wise up, he could be elected. I know...that's a big "if."

10. If you would love to be a student of Professor Feingold, raise your hand

I would rather have been a constituent of Senator Feingold and, later, President Feingold, but since I do not have those options, student sounds great.
