How many famous scientists are you aware of who were conservative? I assume Edward Teller was, but I'm not sure. I'd make a bad lawyer because I'm actually asking a question I don't exactly know the answer to. That said, academia has always tended liberal so I do have a suspicion as to which way it would lean.
