[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Not really.

Free speech is a between him and the government. 
[b]Colleges should encourage diverse opinions and hard conversations. With respect. [/b]
So “free speech” doesn’t protect him from being heckled or criticized. But these students are old enough that they should not have behaved like this. 
And he’s a child for reacting like he did.  He seems like a jerk too. [/quote]

Your post is one big contradiction.  The only thing I agree with is bolded.  He would never have reacted that way had the dean and students not heckled and screamed at him from the start.  There was zero respect shown from the school that INVITED him to speak.  :roll: [/quote]

According to their own federalist student, he came to campus looking for a fight. [/quote]

Citation needed.  [/quote]

Oh, for the PhD part of the forum? Like you needed them for all the others?  Read the whole thread.

This kind of scene is exactly what should make you pause and wait for more information.  Every one of you jumping on the students only and assuming the judge was an innocent victim are gullible.  How many times have we seen staged instigators - who can be the protestors OR the “victim”  -  and find out later it was planned. We’re years into this BS and by now, everyone should at least know to wait for judgment and that it’s entirely possible it’s not what it seems. [/quote]

The dean’s prepared remarks are good proof that the students’ tantrum was planned, and that they never were going to let the judge speak.[/quote]
