It's just words, obviously contradicted by many of Harvard's recent actions, but all I can think is what a fucking lay-up. If only Columbia's administration had half a spine they would have responded similarly.

Columbia's administration obviously has no issues silencing free speech and dissent based on their actions though.

Seems like it could mean death for Columbia as a desirable college honestly

they probably don't have a $50 billion endowment to weather Dump's petulance.

I am nervous about the US right now. So many cases are going to end up at the Supreme Court that is controlled by conservatives. It may not be the lay-up you think it is.

Also what happens if Trump just decides to ignore a court loss as he did with the recent deportation of Kilmar Garcia?

I don’t agree with Roberts but he isn’t a hack. For what it’s worth, he also went to Harvard.

It will take a majority of states, and their military backing, forcefully overthrowing Trump.

I really hate to be alarmist, but it does feel more and more that we're headed to massive, coordinated state against state violence.

The biggest irony here is that after Roberts, the justices Trump appointed are the conservatives most likely to do the right thing. Gorsuch and Barrett are fine justices (even if they have opposing views to mine), Kavanaugh could be worse. Hopefully he doesn't get to choose another one or we'll get another Alito or Thomas.
