Students held a sit-in today at Yale Law School to protest the Kavanaugh nomination while some of their classmates traveled to Washington, D.C. for a similar protest. Classes were canceled to make time for all the protesting. From the Cut:
Today, 115 YLS students bussed down to the U.S. Capitol, while dozens of others are occupying their schools halls in a sit-in to demand that the Senate committee conduct a fair and impartial investigation into the mounting sexual-assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
By early Monday morning, members of the law school faculty had already cancelled 31 of the days scheduled classes in anticipation of the planned student actions, which follow last weeks silent protest. Law student Dana Bolger, whos among the 115 YLS students protesting at the Supreme Court and meeting with senators in Washington, D.C., today, told the Cut that everyone is mad as hell.
Meanwhile, in New Haven, students dressed in black filled YLSs halls, where an organizers told protestors that as a community, they were there to discuss the very real threat that Brett Kavanaugh poses to this country and to show that we take allegations of sexual assault and harassment seriously. Connecticut senator and Yale graduate Richard Blumenthal also made an appearance at the sit-in, where he told students, There is no way that the US Senate, in good conscience, can vote on this nomination without a full investigation.

Exactly.
Unfortunately for us, 95% +/- of them have lived a sheltered, advantaged lifestyle at a particular social level, are largely immune from government overreach and have little idea of what life is like for the average American.
What hypocrites.
Like these Yale kids aren’t getting raunchy every week.
I recall reading an article about some annual naked party when the Bush Twins were in college. I believe at least 1 of them went to Yale.
The little snowflakes better watch it. They all have high aspirations and could have their world crash down around them one day because of a drunken party.
I don’t think any of those students will be clerking for any Supreme Court justices in the future.
And most conservatives want nothing to do with the government other than asking them to stay out of our lives.
Not based on the article. First line.
When looking for an appellate firm for something to be heard by the DC Circuit I am guessing it would be politic to enquire as to whether they had any Yale graduates of counsel.
Its time to take the vote.
They have to come from somewhere, don’t they?
80K Tuition.......I expect every second of every class to be full instructional value.
Ignorance on parade.
I bet Kavanaugh’s alumni donations just dropped to zero.
Or, at least mine would have.
GOOD! Yale is a private school, so these kids parents are footing the bill! Everyone calls for “cutting California loose.” But it would be a whole lot easier to “bundle up” CT, RI and MA and set them off for Ireland, the new home for Liberals, Queers, and Unborn Baby Killers.
“Blumenthal is such scum”
And butt ugly to boot! A real-life “Butthead,” who is looking for his “Beavis!”
