Its funny that this board has some of the most racist, sexist, vulgar shit you can find... You would think such a board might have mercy on an activist questioning why Scalia believes there is no right to privacy, by asking an invasive question of Scalia himself, on the very topic of sodomy, to witch Scalia believes privacy law is wholly inapplicable.

The rumor has been that the dean personally invited members of OutLaw to attend the event to protest when they couldn't get in through the lottery, and some people have speculated that this guy was one of the ones invited in. No confirmation on that yet though.

What is the dean supposed to do about it, beyond writing a letter to Scalia and publicly apologizing (which he should do)? He can't tell law students what they can and cannot say. That'd just inflame the protestor-types, making any problem worse.
My point about the message is that it's clear that no one supports those who acted out of line -- they are being condemned by their peers (the strongest message you can get at a professional school).

I'm not sure he should say anything beyond an appreciation for Scalia's graciousness during his visit to the law school.
NYU Law, as an institution, is not responsible for an inappropriate question asked by one or two of its law students. No law school should start down the road of believing it has to justify or account for what all of its students say.

Bullshit. If Elie Weisel had spoken at NYU, and an invited guest student had given him a "heil hitler" salute, I'm sure the dean (and everyone else on the administration) would've been tripping over themselves to apologize.

It was the act of one student, and one the rest of the student body does not condone. He needs to address his comments to only one student, not the entire student body. Why would he have to make a statement? That makes no sense.
Not to mention that if one student making one inappropriate comment can color the Justice's decisions as to whether or not hire qualified classmates who have nothing to do with the event, then you know that the Supreme Court clearly cannot distinguish the personal from the professional. I, however, have more faith than that.

Yes, there is. It says, "look, fuckwads, if you do stupid things, you'll not only hurt yourself, but you'll hurt your school and your peers, so even if the cost/benefit calculus of being a dipshit is in your favor, it may not be good for others." And that additional potential harm will tend to reduce undecourus behavior.

you obviously fancy yourself quite "decorous." that's fine; and i assume it's more important to you that you've conveyed that than an utterly uninformed behavioral theory.
if you've ever been in school with true radicals, you would know they have no interest in things like clerking. and the opportunity to undermine it would be nothing but incitement.

Sheesh people... it was one guy who said that one comment that was inappropriate. No students present clapped or otherwise showed any kind of support for his behavior. Should he have shown more respect towards a Supreme Court Justice? Of course. Do many, including me, wish he never said it? Again, yes. But it is becoming rather funny (and sad) how this board (and only this board) has totally blown this out of proportion. So one guy makes an inappropriate comment that the student body as a whole disapproves of, but it blackballs NYU from the Supreme Court? Gee... I'm sure that's very likely.
As for the protesters, that is a completely separate topic. They were protesting that he was being honored, which they felt was undeserved. Sure, the yelling was distracting, but hey, it's a protest. Even Michigan had protests against him too.
Now everyone seems to be blending these topics. It's like the telephone game... this is all hear-say and it just gets more and more warped the more it's talked about. Pretty soon we'll be blaming a middle eastern country...

It's fine to be outraged by the incident. Many students at NYU are too. But take it for what it is: just an isolated incident with one student making an inappropriate and crass comment.

Alright GTO - even you have to take pause for a moment when you re-read what you just wrote: "..it's in Drudge, the NY Post, and countless blogs." Are you kidding me? Both Drudge and NYP are conservative scum (much like Scalia) and "countless blogs" is still a infinitely small percentage of the bloggosphere.
Nobody else is making that big a deal out of it. If Wonkette gave it nothing more than passing notice, it isn't a big deal.
Besides, the guy is best friends with Cheney - I'm sure he's accustomed to that sort of language. And last, look at him! One look at that beady little face... I'll bet he does do that, though I'm not sure Maureen likes it.

I expect all of the justices would be angered that Scalia was treated this way. It was an insult to the court as an institution, and no judge should have his or her family impugned because of a legal interpretation. Also, the conservative and liberal justices tend to be fairly friendly with each other.
They aren't like members of congress who have to fight each other for their jobs every couple of years. They have to work with each other for decades and they have fewer political pressures. I suspect because of this familiarity, they will all take offense at this behavior, and I would not be surprised if it does have a dampening effect on federal clerkships from NYU this year.
At the very least, justices will be less likely to speak here in the future, and that's a huge disservice to the school and to the students here. One of the primary functions of a top law school is to be a forum for debates on important legal issues, and that means that some people are going to hear arguments they don't like, from people they disagree with. If they can't learn to deal with that, they don't belong here.

I believe DeLay said "They'll get what's coming to them" or "these men are going to pay for what they've done," and didn't come as close to saying that it's understandable that people want to shoot judges.
Edit: it was "The time will come when the men resposible for this will have to answer for their behavior." It was Sen. Cornyn who suggested that judges are bringing violence on themselves by being activists.

That's an odd definition of "encouraging" (that every time we don't discourage something, we therefore encourage it).
That would only plausibly make sense if it was somehow the general duty of law schools to comment on the proprety of what their students do, and that NYU was somehow selectively deciding not to fulfill that duty in this particular case. Otherwise, they are not "encouraging" the behavior in any normal sense.

I don't think it encourages any behavior. It might not discourage it, but this is a law school, not middle school. These are adults, not children. I just don't see what can be done.
What kind of censure is a university going to dole out to an individual student who asks an inappropriate question? What should students anticipate will be the administration's punitive response?
When an individual in this kind of circumstance violates social custom and professional courtesy, the only plausible response is that the people who share his social environment and will be his professional peers shun his actions. By every account, that is what is happening here.
I doubt any of the few people at NYU Law who had an inkling of engaging in this type of unseemly behavior as a form of protest will follow through anytime in the near future.

And you think they'd behave differently just because a dean asked them to? They'd just add free speech to their list of concerns.
If a law school IS going to tell students how to behave, then some punitive system would have to be put in place to censure those who don't listen -- otherwise the administration looks weak every time some nutcase violates the behavior rules.
And then we're back to determing exactly what the administration of a law school would do to punish a student for asking an inappropriate question. That's a road no one wants to go down.

I think it would be fine, even great, for the law school to say that, though that's nothing akin to censure.
But I'm not sure it would matter if the law school did say "respect the guests". The student who asks the kind of depraved, puerile question of a SCOTUS justice like this guy did isn't exactly the type to say, "Oh, I'll be quiet because the law school wants me to." They're not operating under normal social rules from the start, are likely to take offense that the law school demands they "respect" someone they revile, and may even feel antagonized enough by the law school's tinkering with free speech that they'd behave even more outrageously than if the law school had never suggested they behave a certain way in the first place.

Then hopefully you guys are exerting pressure to elicit the kind of response you'd like to see from the administration.
I'm not saying in this thread that I don't understand your frustration. I do. I'm just not sure what's the best/most effective/appropriate administration response.
One thing: Depending on whether the offensive student was shepherded in outside the lottery system, this could've been avoided. If the lottery system dictates which students get to attend an event, that should apply to all students. You can't pick a few favorites to whom the lottery doesn't apply (in this case, I gather, the favorites were more likely to be antagonistic toward Scalia).

If a group of law students disrupt law school events, then it's certainly appropriate for the law school dean to censure them. The student could have asked any number of controversial/adversarial questions to Scalia and actual made good points about Scalia's dissent in Lawrence. He didn't. The question combined with the protest led to a mess of an event. It's not too much for a dean to tell the students to stop distrupting important law school activities.
And, I'm not talking about general offensiveness. I'm talking about a very specific type of behavior. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a pattern. Conservative groups on college and grad campuses do not, pretty much ever, disrupt events where someone they disagree with is speaking. Lefties do it all the time. I'm not saying that all liberals are to blame, but college and law school administrators rarely speak out against such activities.

And I think that's because even though you would LIKE to see the students censured, you realize that there's nothing a law dean can do to an adult who exercised free, if offensive, speech.

He could write a letter to all students describing the events, with primary focus on the inappropriateness of the question and the noise of the protest. He could then state that questions of that ilk are unacceptable in that they don't encourage debate, but bring an event to a screeching halt. Of course, he would want to emphasize that all view points were welcome in an open debate, but that debate should be civil and cordial. He could say that when law students behave this way, it hurts the school and the profession in general.
I don't think anyone should be thrown out of school or anything like that, but the dean should at least publically state that law students shouldn't behave in such a manner.

Sexpert, you don't think that the philosophy and attitude of the school foster an environment that encourages such vitriolic speech? That's the problem, in my book. NYU does not foster intelligent, rational, restrained dialogue. Instead, it feeds this hate for conservative ideology (rather than engaging it in rational discourse), which results in unexpected explosions.
If we were to make a conservative example, it would be akin to a fundamentalist Baptist church railing against the evils of abortion, calling for the overthrow of such evil individuals, and then shocked when one of its members blows up the abortion clinic. The church hadn't promoted the event, but they fostered an environment that could only inevitably lead to a wicked act.
