A LECTURE by Heather Mac Donald on anti-police propaganda at Claremont McKenna College was cut short due to protests.

From Breitbart:

“During my speech, the protesters banged on the glass windows and shouted. It was extremely noisy inside the hall. I took two questions from students who were watching on livestream, but then the cops decided that things were getting too chaotic and I should stop speaking,” Mac Donald said. “An escape plan through the kitchen into an unmarked police van was devised; I was surrounded by about four cops. Protesters were sitting on the stoop outside the door through which I exited, but we had taken them by surprise and we got through them.”

In her short lecture, Mac Donald argued that there is no institution more dedicated to protecting black lives than cops.

Thank you for bringing this behavior to the attention of your readers. I am afraid I don’t know the law in this area, but it seems Congress needs to do something to restrict the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction. All I can think of at the moment is to use Art. I, § 8, Cl. 9 (to constitute Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court) and Art. III, § 1, “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish [emphasis added]. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.” Mainly, Art. III, § 2 states, “the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.” These seem sufficient to take away much of the Court’s jurisdiction over illegal aliens and the right to free speech. Clearly, this is a dangerous road. But a carefully crafted limit could be done such that it would prevent federal courts from those who would deny people from exercising their Constitutional right of free speech. It is shameful that our politicians sit back and allow such misbehavior.

Thank you. I don’t think there is much chance of that kind of Congressional response right now.
