“We are reviewing our approach to handling student speeches and written statements at public events,” he continued. "We acknowledge that altering Ms. De Meyer’s speech may have compromised out commitment to open dialogue.”
Classic stuff. “We have been caught not doing anything close to our ‘commitment’ and now we promise to change.” Just be honest and say you don’t have open dialogue and you were lying the whole time.
I guarantee the next student gets the same treatment if it is a different situation.
The fact that the President, who maybe some time in distant memory, didn’t choose judges based along political lines, chooses the Supreme Court judges seems crazy to me.
Why aren’t the best judges and lawyers getting together and electing them? I’m a scientist by trade, so I’m more use to a peer reviewed system. Nonetheless, I find it maddening that our election cycle realistically choses the highest court in America rather than those most equipped to make that decision. Who gives a fuck what the president thinks should be the next Supreme Court justice? I’d rather hear from the experts of the field choose who it is.
