I'm listening to 'Just Between Us', and the section on Wax. I will start by saying that I agree that it is a mistake for students who find her abhorrent to use the heckler's veto to silence her. Period, end of sentence.
But I will go on to say this: There is a battle forming in this country between defense of the constitution and the rule of law and the alternative. That is January 6. There is a battle beginning in the world between democratic government and self-rule and its alternative. That is Ukraine.
We can pay attention to how people react to performative idiots like Wax and Fifth Circuit Judge Duncan, and agree that their reaction is improper. But for me the only reason to do so is in the interest of electoral politics. People like Wax and Duncan are doing and saying what they are to goad the reaction. We must not go for the bait.
But we cannot lose focus on the threat. Whether or not Wax or Duncan are able to exercise their first amendment rights (as if that is an issue for Federalist Society members, Tenured Professors, and Circuit Judges) is important, but is only a threat insofar as it impacts the electoral mission, which is to defeat the Party that is fighting to destroy the constitution and the Replublic.
Georg Will (mentioned in another thread) writes a column once or twice a week. He is a big fan of issues related to Wax and Duncan--Bully for him. I think he is an opponent of January 6, and of Trump. There is only one President, and presumably soon to be candidate for re-election that is defending the Republic When was the last time George Will said something in support of him?

It's time to set our priorities--all of us.
