[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 5th Circuit is a highly partisan court and this is a highly partisan man. My take on this is that this event was planned and orchestrated to elicit exactly this reaction. This Judge was a member of the Federalist Society when he was nominated to the bench. He was confirmed because he will render the sort of opinions that the Federalist society wants, which are against what the majority of the country wants. It's minority rule over the majority and the majority is well-aware.

I graduated law school in '98 and if this had happened back then I would have been appalled. But 25 years later it's pretty clear what the score is. This is people telling those in power they see through them and making their voice heard.

I just have to respond to this....
First, a judge's job is to render decisions based on LAW - not what is popular.  Even if the "majority" wants it, it doesn't make it right.  I just hope you are not a lawyer or law student.  
Secondly, these activists are not just "telling those in power they see through them and making their voice heard."  They are actively preventing the exercise of free speech by the speaker.  Something that goes totally against the rules at Stanford and the purpose of college itself.  They are behaving poorly - in a way that would NEVER be acceptable in the courtroom.  Even by out of control defendants.  
You seem to believe the "heckler's veto" is just fine.  It's not.  [/quote]

Perfectly stated.  Astounding that this even has to be spelled out.[/quote]
