Yale snowflakes stage Hunger strike, with Food

[IowaNiceHawk]

Several graduate students at Yale – who already receive a $30k-per-year stipend, full health benefits and receiving $40,000 a year in free tuition, by the way – have decided they’re unhappy with their school’s union benefits.

In response, eight students with the school’s Local 33 union have decided to hold a hunger strike in front of Yale President Peter Salovey’s house until the school meets their demands. According to the Yale Daily News, the move prompted fellow students and school administrators to express concern that these students may be taking things a bit too far and causing a health hazard to themselves.

Which would be a legit concern -- except that this particular hunger strike doesn’t actually involve not eating. In the explaining the temper tantrum protest, the students said the strike is only “symbolic,” and that students can get up and go get food when they’re hungry. Here's a photo of the pamphlet Union 33 issued before the demonstration, posted on Twitter by a former Yale student:

I think I'm going to become celibate, except for when I get horny.

I think I'm going to go on a diet, except when I see wings or cake.

The real scary part about this is these kids are at freaking Yale, not some community college. They are supposed to be some of the best and brightest in the world. That is a scary thought.

That's really the only right way to do a hunger strike. Not eating sucks.

I wonder how the students feel about this Yale professor.

Yale Law Prof Backs Vance’s Claim: DOGE-Blocking Judge Violated Constitution​

However, as Vice President Vance wrote on X.com (formerly Twitter), judges don’t have the legal authority to dictate the actions of generals, prosecutors and the president:

“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.
“If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal.
“Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.”

In his response, Yale Law Prof. Jeb Rubenfeld agreed with Vance and explained how Judge Engelmayer violated the Constitution with his ruling:

“JD is correct about this, and his examples are exactly right. Where the Executive has sole and plenary power under the Constitution--as in commanding military operations or exercising prosecutorial discretion--judges cannot constitutionally interfere.”

Following the ruling on Saturday, Musk called for Judge Engelmayer to be impeached for being “a corrupt judge protecting corruption.”
