==Political views==
A minor controversy erupted in late ] following remarks Althouse made criticizing of a group of bloggers who had posed for a photograph with former President ]. Althouse maintained that the thrust of her criticism was a reiteration of her long-standing view that feminists had carved out a sui generis exception to their views on sexual harassment to protect Clinton; Althouse's critics on the left characterized her remarks as derogatory to the physical appearance of the blogger and rejected the argument that feminists should have a problem with Clinton. This controversy was briefly reprised in early ] following an on-camera argument between Althouse and journalist Garance Franke-Ruta about the original controversy.
Althouse has said that she is ] and opposes overruling '']'',<ref>''See, e.g.,'' Ann Althouse, ''Stepping Out of Professor Fallon's Puzzle Box: A Response to 'If Roe Were Overruled: Abortion and the Constitution in a Post-Roe World''', 51 St. Louis U.

She was a visiting professor at Brooklyn Law School for the 2007–08 academic year.
