The Review article describes a "kiss-up, kick-down" tenured professor. 
Eben Moglen reminds me of Ambassador John Bolton:

"The former head of the State Department's in house intelligence bureau

as "a quintessential kiss-up, kick-down sort of guy" whose attempt to 
intimidate a mid-level analyst raises "real questions about his 
suitability for high office."
