Federal Judge Warns Against Hiring A-Hole Yale Law Students Who Shouted Down Free Speech Event

When a group of Yale Law School students shouted down a bipartisan panel on free speech, their actions caught the attention of a federal judge—and not in a favorable way.

DC Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman sent an email Thursday to all US federal judges, bringing into question the eligibility of these students for positions in clerkships and warning that these academics may not be committed to the idea of free speech.

And that, Silberman, suggested, stood in direct opposition to the duty of a district judge to uphold the First Amendment. He encouraged his fellow judges to "carefully consider" the admittance of these students.

Silberman's email follows the recent protest of a Federalist Society event at the Yale Law School on the evening of March 10. The Federalist Society, a conservative group dedicated to law and public policy, had invited two speakers to come to Yale to give a discourse on a recent Supreme Court case—Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski.
