Yale Law students stage sit-in to demand Kavanaugh investigation
The Hill ^ | 09/24/2018 | Justin Wise

Students at Yale Law School staged a sit-in on Monday and called for an investigation into sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Videos and photos posted on Twitter show dozens of students dressed in black lining the hallway at Yale's Sterling Law Building. The move led some faculty members to either cancel or reschedule classes, the law school said.

Surprising news in this piece: Apparently they sometimes still hold classes at Yale Law School. Can’t imagine why.

RE: Demonstrators called on the university to better uphold its values, with one organizer of the protest saying that the sit-in was held to display that "we take allegations of sexual assault and harassment seriously," according to the Hartford Courant.

What’s holding Ms Ford back if she wants an investigation? Go back to where this phony accusation was to have taken place and file a report with authorities. It’s my understanding there’s no statute of limitations in MD.

This is Yale. They’d expel any student who SUPPORTS Judge Kavanaugh.

It nice they will all be standing around together, paying attention, so they can all hear it and help comfort themselves when Trump says, “No.”

so all the commies get together and decide to smear a good man just to protect their ability to murder their babies.

These “law” students have no concept about the rule of law.

If she files that report and it turns out false, she can go to jail for filing a false police report.

That is why she will never testify

He has been criticized for behavior in high school and first semester of college. Nothing from law school.

Yale? Who cares what the students at this school think? Look at some of its alums.

Sounds like the dean needs to call a special class all day Saturday to teach about constitutional rights and justice, attend or be dismissed, your option.
