Another update about the Scalia incident

Ok, last time I updated which was Monday, I didn't get any kind of trouble. Well since then, I was alerted by some here on DU that some idiots at some conservative forum were talking about what I said, and they were saying that they contacted my University and the chair of the Political Science Department about me discussing the incident on this messageboard. They said that the Chair was mad at me for what I did, and for "going public" with it, and the Department is writing an apology to Scalia about the incident.
Well today, I had the class with the professor who is the chair, but I didn't attend, because I wanted to get some things cleared up first. I took the time to meet with my advisors at the University, who told me that there is no way that there will be any punishment of any sort for the Scalia incident(HAHAHAHAHA lurking trolls),and there is nothing that will be done for me "going public" on this messageboard about the incident(God,these trolls act as if I sold the story to a newspaper for money, and even if I did I have a right its called Free Speech).
I have to thank all of you on DU again for all of your support, during the last couple of days.
Love DemGirl7
:)

Once again the jerk themselves hard with Viagra and Vaseline, and start typing... And once again they fail.

:rofl:

That's right.

You get the BEER-DRINKING PUSSYCAT!!!!

Karl Marx, or Groucho Marx?

That was the joke.

See?

:::: sigh :::::

:rofl:

Too freakin' funny! Thanks for sharing this DemGirl. They actually thought you couldn't talk about asking a Supreme Court Justice a question? They actually thought the University would care? Priceless.

:rofl:

And I don't think that you had any reason to worry, those were legitimate questions, asked in a straightforward and polite way.

I'm sure your profs secretly wish they could have asked the same thing.

you stuck it to fat Tony! GRRRREAT!!! You give me hope for the next generation.

It's still a free country, no matter what those losers say.

And thanks again DemGirl7 for asking the tough questions. These people WORK FOR US, and they somehow have gotten it into their heads that they're BETTER THAN US. They need to be kept in check, which isn't being done right now by the parties who are supposed to do such things. So Americans like you are the constant reminder with reality.

What you did took courage, and for that I salute you! :patriot:

and going public is a wonderful thing. We should have more of it. :thumbsup:

that would be helpful for those who didn't read about the first part of your story. :hi:

keep that chin up. not because it makes a better target, but because you earned that right.

You have our suspport always!

Way to go.. Why should anyone aplogize for asking a question? You were not rude, you just stated the facts... The truth really hurts these people....

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

You hang tight. Those Freepers are little girlie men without good taste in drapery.

You are a true American hero.

the year -- citizens speaks up and sets "supreme" Court Justice, bully boy straight in a respectful fashion and university stands up for students right to free speech. What is this, the 60's or something;)

:yourock: and so does your U!!!

Scalia got off easy.

My hat's off to you for standing up and speaking truth to power! :patriot:

:)

inform on those opposing the fuehrer and get you thrown into jail or worse, eh?

They really can't WAIT for this country to become like that.

Good for you DemGirl7!! :yourock:

comment at the time - I applaud your brain and bravery. You asked reasonable questions, in an appropriate setting. That you also exposed a man who is a dark symbol of the lack of intellectual, ethical and moral vigor in our present Administration, was simply a (tasty) side effect.

I also applaud your University and its personnel for recognizing your First Amendment rights.I am always filled with hope when I see youngsters of your caliber in action.

bunch of cowardly little shits.

:yourock:

and actually see Scalia's reaction. It took more than a little courage for you to take those actions and as a much older person, just let me say how proud of you I am. :)

And also how much I thank you for speaking out for me and for a lot of other people who will never get the chance to speak to this man personally as you did. Thanks again!

for one thing, you could take a lesson from the freeptards who file lawsuits constantly with universities demanding their free speech rights to attack others. . .so you are certainly entitled to the same freedom of speech, even if the freeptards don't like it. That's their biggest problem - they think they deserve special rights to criticize others, but no one can criticize them.

And watch out for those Homeland Security Guys ... some of them are way, like WAY too old for you to even consider dating. :scared: :P

I'm proud of your efforts. :hi:

But the First Amendment won. Great job, DemGirl!

Oh, and Big Conservative Brother: Go Freep yourself.

I wonder if their bosses know what THEY'RE doing during working hours.

That's great that your school is standing behind you! :-)

to have you tell us what Scalia said in response to the three cases you asked about. You only posted that he said "some BS". Did I miss a thread?

Concerning the Cheney Enegry Task force case, he basicly said just because he is friends with VP, doesn't mean that they discussed the case, concerning the Hamdan case, he said he never said that he made up his mind about the case before it came before the court, and finally concerning Bush v. Gore, he said it was totally irrlevant to the case that two of sons were working as lawyers for the Bush legal team, during the litigation phase. Complete BS, because we all know he is a liar.

I know it is sometimes hard to believe. Ecspecially these days.

But we still have a bit of freedom. We still have the Constitution and the First Amendment.

Tell them all to kiss your a$$. Wave a copy of the US Constitution in front of their faces. Tell 'em to read it and give you a ten page paper on what it means to be American.

Double-spaced, APA style.

"Well today, I had the class with the professor who is the chair, but I didn't attend, because I wanted to get some things cleared up first."

I would have gone to the class anyway. I understand you wanted to get all your ducks in a row, but I would have gone to class and stood up for myself. You were in the right to use your first amendment right and he knows it. I would have looked him square in the eye and he would have had no choice but to back down.

Good job, DemGirl7. Keep fighting the fight for what's right.

:toast:

:applause:

...you are sadly mistaken.

Thats not how they operate when the see the chance to hurt somebody without consequences to themselves - Where do you think the SS found "shower" operators?

Just a warning. Keep your wits about you. Retain a lawyer.

These so called christian conservatives are evil personified.

when you try to get into law school. They have long memories because hatred is all that sustains them.

Retaining council NOW will make this much less likely THEN.

Especially as said council will have had conversations with the people who could effect whether you get a recommendation or not.

WOW! They didn't mention any names other than Colby Smith, but hey they did talk about the challenges to his stupidity. I thought I remembered you saying it was a private environment, so I guess this might not be exactly it.

during a private meeting that my university's political science club/political science department arranged with the obnoxious douchebag in Washington D.C.

They couldn't stop drooling all over him. A total love-fest, complete with a slap at the gay kissing booth, which the Courant claimed drew no one takers. Hmmm.

official!?! What do you think this is, the United States of America? God. You really need to wake up. That is so 20th century!




/sarcasm

oh wait...:eyes:

Salon? The Nation? Malloy?

from yesterday (?) but didn't post, but will now. Watch your back, but don't lose your spine!

OK, they're probably afraid of retribution. And probably rightfully so. But there are times when a "no apology" apology is appropriate. ("We were sorry to learn that you were upset...")

Is that really happening?

I'm sure glad that the university is recognizing that you did nothing wrong.

If anyone tried to do anything to you---make you apologize, chastise you for making the comments--I would seriously consider contacting the media. Seriously.

I hope they back off.

Please keep us posted.

BTW--is there video of this question being asked?

:yourock:

And we are proud of you judge! NEVER GIVE in to the lefties :)

Ass holes :P

Yup, sounds like the new Amerika! Free speech, what a concept! :) Peace! :thumbsup:

didn't provide their real names to whoever they spoke to. (That is, if they really did call or email your school, as you report they boasted.) They would be too cowardly to do that.

If I received a communication from someone who was alleging wrongdoing on the part of a subordinate, student, whoever, I wouldn't take their accusation seriously unless I could confirm the authenticity of the accuser. I would request that the accuser provide a phone number so I could confirm their identity. If it was a telephone call that first reached me, but the accuser refused to provide a call-back number, I'd call law enforcement, and report that someone was harassing my student, and also attempting to manipulate me to that purpose. They'd find out who made the call.

If the accuser reached me by email, I'd contact the ISP. Or(more likely)if it came via anonymous email account, I'd ask some of the students at the computer help desk to help me find out where the email was made. I had a friend who was receiving some harassing emails from an anonymous account, and he spoke to some of the guys at his university's comp help desk. They handed off the request to a couple of other comp sci students they knew, who needed less than one hour to determine that the email had come from a particular library in another state. From there, the library was able to determine who was using their PC at that exact time. Boy, was the harasser ever surprised to find himself tracked down! Ha! ha!

Comp sci students love to do this kind of sleuth work. And if they don't know how to do it, they always know someone who does.

So, if any trouble comes out of this, just ask your prof for the email info.

:toast:

They use their right of free speech to contact people to attempt to get you into trouble. I guess only hateful angry rotten bigots are supposed to have free speech!

:P

:yourock:

Well done - you have my utmost admiration and respect for what you did!

who should have recused himself on all the issues you aptly cited. You stuck it to him with the truth and if the freepers don't like it, screw 'em. Let them sue and then we can bring fat Tony up for impeachment.

Scalia Proud He Stayed on Cheney Case...
http://articles.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20060412183009990005&ncid=NWS00010000000001

HARTFORD, Conn. (April 12) - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia had some advice Wednesday for those who questioned his impartiality after he refused to recuse himself from a case involving his hunting buddy, Vice President Dick Cheney.

You an angel and a hero !!

I had to chuckle.... I think you really found his hot spot check out what the twerp said this week....

Eyewitness News 3 out of Hartford reports that Justice Scalia has no regrets for not recessing himself from the Cheney/Energy case last year.

"For Pete's sake, if you can't trust your Supreme Court justice more than that, get a life," Scalia said.

Thinking back to how he handed Demgirl7 last week, he seems to be having a hard time getting over it. It is almost like he was referring to her comments from the week before.

"I think the proudest thing I have done on the bench is not allowed myself to be chased off that case," Scalia said.
