Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, called on Stanford officials to reprimand the students who last week shouted down a speech by a conservative federal judge, as well as fire the administrator who scolded the guest speaker instead of the agitators.
Mr. Cruz said Stanford Law School is “well within its rights to discipline these students for their behavior, and indeed I strongly urge the school to do so.”
“Far from conducting herself in a manner that students should emulate, Assistant Dean Steinbach’s behavior validated the protestors’ disruptive conduct, concluding her statement with ‘I’m glad this is going on here,’” Mr. Cruz said. “Given her demonstrated contempt for the federal bench, guests of the school and your own institution’s policies, I recommend that she is promptly dismissed from her position.
Judge Duncan, a Trump appointee, ultimately left the campus event hosted by the Stanford Federalist Society without delivering his remarks. He was escorted by federal marshals who arrived at the scene. Mr. Duncan’s speech was titled “The Fifth Circuit in Conversation With the Supreme Court: Covid, Guns and Twitter.”
