I'm a First Amendment absolutist who doesn't like what is going on. Winston & Strawn and Davis, Polk & Wardell had decided that the law students qualified for job offers. That the firms decided that the students no longer qualified because of something, not violating the law, that the students are associated with is alarming. That also goes for calls for a "nationwide boycott", however informal, by employers of students associated with the unpopular cause of the day, or demands by large donors for the resignations of university leaders that did not insufficiently condemn pro-Hamas words by others associated with the universities. (And yes, despite the large-scale infiltration of leftist anti-Semitism into academia and politics in recent decades that has now hugely backfired on the Jews that were among its aiders and abetters, support of Hamas is still the unpopular cause, relatively speaking. But not as unpopular as it ought to be.)
