‘Unrelenting Daily Confrontation’: After Roe Leak, Yale Law Students Call for Ostracizing Conservative Classmates and Tossing Out Constitution
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | May 14, 2022 | Aaron Sibarium

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for students at Yale Law School, who are responding to news that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade with calls to accost their conservative classmates through "unrelenting daily confrontation" and toss the Constitution by the wayside.

Members of the law school’s conservative Federalist Society, first year law student Shyamala Ramakrishna said in an Instagram post, are "conspirators in the Christo-fascist political takeover we all seem to be posting frantically about." Why, she asked, are they still "coming to our parties" and "laughing in the library" without "unrelenting daily confrontation?"

Some of her classmates were less moderate.

"It’s not time for ‘reform,’" first-year law student Leah Fessler, a onetime New York Times freelancer, wrote on Instagram. "Democratic Institutions won’t save us." It is unclear how Fessler will apply that view as a legal intern this summer for federal judge Lewis Liman. Judge Liman did not respond to a request for comment.

Fessler isn’t alone. "Neither the constitution nor the courts—nor the f*****g (astericks mine) illusion of ‘democracy’—are going to save us," first-year student Melisa Olgun posted. "How can we possibly expect a document, drafted by wealthy, white, landowning men, to protect those who face marginalization that is the direct result of the very actions of the founders?"

Contacted for comment, the students decried "leaks" of their social media posts and said the Washington Free Beacon was not "authorized" to publish them.

"This was posted PRIVATELY, on a private story, and was clearly leaked to you," Fessler said in an email, adding that the Free Beacon was "in no way authorized" to use the message.

"The post was on a private account on a private story that was sent to you without my knowledge," Olgun said. "You are in no way authorized to...

What's the point of having law schools if there is no Constitution?

When these people out themselves in this manner, showing themselves to be at a minimum authoritarians lacking reasoning skills, and more likely as marxists with an agenda, they should be put on a black-ball list and never hired by anyone. If they believe the way they appear to then they should be shipped off to China where they will fit right in.

Haven’t they been doing that already?
At least for the last 25 years.
Now, even many of the instructors will assist.

The Federalists wanted a strong national government.

This national government was formed in 1787 without a bill of rights.

First year law students Shyamala Ramakrishna, Leah Fessler and Melisa Olgun should NEVER, EVER, be lawyers or even judges for goodness sakes!

In my opinion, they are domestic enemies of the US Constitution.

Isn't that harassment, which would be completely unacceptable if conservatives did it?
Christo-fascist? That's a new smearword.

Leftist should know “unrelenting daily confrontation” can be very unpleasant.

When you’ve probably been taught your whole life by teachers who teach that your country, the U.S., both was, and is, the most evil country in all of human history anywhere because of the enslavement of negroes and the taking of land from natives, then you have nothing to fall back on and nothing to believe in during times when the pro - U.S. side has the upper hand, such as now, and off the rails radicalism is all you have left. This is all according to the leftist educrats plan.

I don't know what they would be practicing, but it wouldn't be "law" if there is no constitutional backing behind it.

How can we possibly expect a document, drafted by wealthy, white, landowning men, to protect those who face marginalization that is the direct result of the very actions of the founders?

One fundamental assumption of Critical Law is that who created the system counts more than the actual system. That's handy when you don't have an argument against the system's particulars. Here we have an astonishingly ignorant class of students convinced that the system is inherently oppressive and all that needs to change is who is doing the oppressing, and they intend that to be themselves. As judges and attorneys their duty will not be to justice but to "social" justice: Marxian because it subordinates justice to class warfare.

If they toss out the Constitution why bother having a law school Wouldn’t think there would be any laws left after that. Without a Constitution, maybe the NRA could be the governing body.

I had a friend who graduated Yale undergrad. Transferred to Michigan Law School for his JD. Told me he wanted a real education in Law.

Yep. Case in point - "you are in no way authorized" to use the message. As if she has any say in the matter.

Entitled, arrogant and probably no common sense, she is slated for the highest levels of our government.
