A D.C. appellate judge sent an email to his colleagues asking if Yale University students who shout down speakers on campus should be barred from their clerkships.

The email was sent by Judge Silberman of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, following the news that about 100 Yale Law School students protested a panel discussion on civil liberties. The panel event hosted by the Yale Federalist Society was disrupted.

The recent events at Yale Law School, in which students attempted to shout down speakers participating in a panel discussion on free speech, prompt me to suggest that students who are identified as those willing to disrupt any such panel discussion should be noted.

All federal judges should consider whether a student should be disqualified from potential clerkships if they are identified.

Several other judges replied to Silberman.

Thank you for your email. Judge John Walker of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that he couldn't agree more.

There should be a finding that a student acted in a way that was inappropriate at the institution of higher learning.

Judge Donald Graham, another GHWB nominee who serves on a district court in Florida, responded: "Shouldn't there be a finding that a student acted inappropriately at least by the institution of higher learning. I don't intend to get into the fact finding process." pic.twitter.com/X6yUc5UrnL

The Yale panel was designed to show that different political and cultural positions can support free speech. The speakers were Monica Miller, the legal director of the American Humanist Association, and the general counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom.

Student demonstrators holding signs and arguing withPanelists were shown in a video obtained by the Free Beacon.

One protester told Kate Stith that she would fight her if she told her not to interrupt the panel.

The students tried to disrupt the panel after they were told to leave the room.

It was disturbing to see law students get into a frenzy.
