But you're ok with the extreme left wing future lawyers and judges (shudder) in that room, right?

Amazing that he was an *invited* speaker and she bulldozed right in there and monopolized the lectern so she could bray about absolutely nonsensical garbage. Interesting that another dean was brave enough to state that behaving that way goes against Stanford's free speech policies. I sincerely hope Steinbach is thrown to the curb.

Funny that you’re cool with Trump.

Did you just use the word “bray” with a woman? Yikes. Says a lot about you.

I didn't realize "bray" was only to be used in reference to men. Says a lot about you that you would actually take issue with a verb, and of course, try to "gender" it. Yes, she was braying. She brayed for close to ten minutes, clearly relishing the spotlight and the precious affirmative finger snaps she received. As she continued to bray, she basked in the admiring gazes of her fellow LWNJs.

And what on earth does Trump have to do with her braying? Never mind - not at all interested in your thought process.

Yes. Let's only appoint activist left-wing judges who are more concerned with current culture and base their decisions on current trends in social justice instead of actual law.
It is actually time to start rejecting these snowflake law students as clerks. They have neither the temperament nor the skills to practice law.

Well these radical right wing judges call for not hiring any law students who disagree with them. I guess they keep a list and rule against any firm that hire these students? Talk about not having the temperament?

It’s too bad there are no left wing judges to balance these absurd excuse for “judges”.

Oh, too funny. You actually think the extreme leftists in that room would *ever* hire someone with a conservative viewpoint? That is, if they ever reach a point in their lives where they're in any position to hire at all. Which, judging by their abhorrent behavior, is extremely unlikely.

Back in the 90’s when I was at university, this student conduct would have been unthinkable.

I did not grow up in America so I do not know what was acceptable in 90’s, but always thought Stanford accepted the smartest and brightest people in the country. Now seeing this video made me realize I could actually have a shot to be a Stanford student. I am a hot tempered, very opinionated, sometimes call people names just to win an argument and raise my voice often. My English sucks but I check all the right boxes the universities are looking for.

Thanks for that, Donald Trump.

No, this has nothing to do with judges and everything to do with campus climate.

Are abortion rights activists welcome to speak at conservative Christian colleges? Campus climate!

Obama spoke at Notre Dame at their commencement.

Exactly. Do these students not know they will work with and for people with a variety of viewpoints?

No they won't.

Meh. The only guarantee you have is you won’t be imprisoned by the government for your speech. This notion that you are owed a platform or audience for reprehensible viewpoints (which much of what passes as “conservative” these days is) is wild — you aren’t. The world is equally free to reject your speech, ridicule you for it and hold you accountable for hateful things you say and do, which includes being canceled professionally. Natural consequences. It’s not like your speech is valid just because you are free to express it without fear of imprisonment.

Slow clap. Beautiful example of exactly the reprehensible behavior exhibited by Stanford law students - and deans. I have news for you. You don't INVITE someone to come and speak and then treat them like a pariah - without even letting them speak. Get over yourself. And exactly what "hateful" things has this judge said or done?

The people who yelled at him didn’t invite him. Do people with beliefs like these guys truly think that their beliefs aren’t wildly unpopular and unreasoned? The fact that you sucked up to Leonard Leo and got appointed by a reality TV star does not make your viewpoints above reproach

What on earth are you babbling about? The people who didn't want to hear him speak could have - wait for it - simply not shown up. But then they would have passed up the opportunity they LIVE for, which is emoting on a grand scale, filming it, and posting it online in search of validation and "likes". I'm actually glad it *was* posted online, so the rest of us can see what utter and complete imbeciles they are.

The right to not show up exists for every protester outside an abortion clinic, and I never hear you civility people on about it.

The students protesting pay tuition. They are allowed to show their displeasure for someone invited to their university and no one has to pander to that judge.

I'm imagining their outrage (and yours) had a liberal speaker shown up only to be shouted down by conservative protesters. You'd probably be calling for their arrests.

The only time I saw it was when some Cubans protested an actor who starred in a movie about Che Guevara.

What about the Dean of DEI? Why is she still employed, or even allowed on campus?

Yes. She is still employed. And, the snowflake student activists haven't stopped.
What it will take to make a change is for the wealthy alumni who donate millions to step up and insist that Stanford grow a pair.

Some students who are advocates of free speech penned an opinion piece in the Stanford newspaper... the Stanford Review.
Good to know there are at least some students there who understand what free speech means.

Pshaw. We did back in the 80s. I remember the guy who did the "studies" that showed black people had smaller inferior brains being shut down from speaking on many campuses back during the dark ages. You really dont know anything about history.
