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...

The replies may have been a tacit invocation of copyright laws that ban the dissemination of photos without their owner’s consent. Publishing private Instagram posts, a lawyer might argue, violates intellectual property rights, though Adam Candeub, an intellectual property expert at Michigan State University College of Law, called that argument "bullshit."
"It’s not clear copyright would even apply," Candeub said. "I wonder what they’re teaching at Yale Law School."
Maybe because it’s because the lack of a Constitution makes it easier for these lawyers to rape, loot & pillage when they pass the bar?
Advocating a social caste system just like back home are we?
There are Conservatives in Yale?
I don’t believe it for a second...
That inevitably ends up with tiled cellars.
What should one expect from a bunch of Yalies?
These students who are hassling their classmates are NOT fit to be lawyers!! PHOOEY!!!!
A student who graduates from Yale Law School might only be able to apply to the bar in Connecticut, and be limited to practicing in Connecticut unless there is a reciprocal arrangement between Connecticut and another state in a post-Constitutional union.
Furthermore, the laws that the student learned in school might no longer apply, since it would be the Constitution of Connecticut that would govern from now on, making the students' knowledge and training moo (you know, a cow's opinion).

How much do these cry babies pay to go to that dump?
I think you missed the point. She is in the Federalist society and asked why if the liberals were so focused on resisting were they still coming to Conservative hosted parties.
You really need to read the excerpt, the first of your students, a member of the Federalist society is calling out the leftist students.
And yet the left make a practice of doxing. Sauce for the goose sauce for the gander.
That student is a conservative, a member of the Federalist society, calling out the leftists.
Thank you. The info in the article is misleading. I was excited to see push back. Too good to be true.
Creature is the operative word. She is an abortion activist.
Domestic terrorists gotta terrorize.
Sorry for my response to you both. Tallguy pointed out the article is misleading. SR is an abortion rights activist, not as described in the article.
No problem.
