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 school’s 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 day’s scheduled classes in anticipation of the planned student actions, which follow last week’s silent protest. Law student Dana Bolger, who’s 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 YLS’s 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.”

Sen. Blumenthal showed up at the protest at Yale and spoke for about 10 minutes.

He described Ford and Ramirez as “survivors” and his speech was greeted by lots of snapping, which I guess means they approved.

I guess Yale shouldn’t bother calling Brett Kavanaugh for any future alumni fundraising drives.

“Survivors”... just like the Viet Cong after Sen Blumenthal got through with them.

Dude, have I been sent back to the 60’s, man?

So these scumbags take the day off to protest an alumnus. Colleges suck these days.

Does Yale take Federal dollars? They should be cut off for engaging in partisan politics.

These people don’t even consider that they may be destroying a good man and his family over lies. For lefties, it’s”the cause” above everything else.

Yale Law School has an enrollment of around 630 students. That means about 1/3 are crazy Leftists. Meet our future leaders.

IIRC, Yale was amongst the first, if not the first, Institute of, “higher learning,” to hold a “sex week.”

It's like Bonfire of the Vanities, except it's happening in real life.

I'm beyond stunned to see half the political spectrum go all-in to support what they know damn well is a false rape claim.

They really will try to turn this false claim into a true one by the Goebbels method. And they expect that they can sell this to enough people to win an election, rather than disgrace them for all time.
