How the f\*\*k is that compliant with 14A?

Fishing expeditions are apparently sufficient grounds for a search warrant? Also - why on Earth does anyone have "lists of Jews" in the first place? I'm beginning to think all of this data collection isn't a great idea after all.

Of course not, date collection … that‘s just for surveillance and control; didn't you know that?

Oh it's blatantly unconstitutional but many of our courts were stacked with conservative loyalists that hate the US.

Could you walk me through how our traditionally expansive discovery rules meet the free association and exercise issues? I’m just not familiar, but a lawsuit asking for Rogs saying “have you ever been a Nazi party member” and other classic association questions is, to my knowledge, pretty normal. And in a discrimination case, “please identify how many of your employees are (insert religion) seems fine, assuming it’s related to allegations (so imagine a case where an employer is alleged to never hire and indeed fire any Muslim employees).  I can see some big overbreadth issues here, and I see a Wiwa problem, but that’s more of a fishing expedition problem than a 1st amendment issue. And while fishing is a constitutional problem, it’s one endemic to almost every lawsuit ever filed in the US.

This seems familiar. Will they have to wear something identifying on their clothes ? Edit: WTF US ??

But this case it's wildly in the other direction. It's like if Hitler himself used his authoritarian power as a shield to protect jewish people. "I need zee list of ze Jews. We need to tackle ze widespread antisemitism on ze campus and dis requires ze utmost cooperation by ze jews in order to expel and detain ze Pro-Palestine protestors!"

Because if there's one thing that is beyond doubt in this administration, it's the sincerity of their intentions. /s

I never said they were being altruistic. They're still monsters, and it's still wildly racist. It's...lol...white hat racism. It's being a good racist to one group so they can be bad racist to the other.

This request sounds highly sinister and should not be heeded. It sounds exactly like the kind of request the incoming Hitler regime would have made to universities, back in 1933/4.

Why does the university have a list of Jews in the first place?

They don't. They're being asked to create a list of Jews. Quote from their statement: > requiring Penn to create lists of Jewish faculty and staff, and to provide personal contact information, raises serious privacy and First Amendment concerns. The University does not maintain employee lists by religion

Thanks I missed that part. I would leave it up to the Jews. Post a sign-up sheet to fill out as you want. List of Jews for Trump to look at.

We kinda hate being on those lists, so I don't think there will be too many volunteers. Will this administration get the list of employees from the IRS and send it over to the FBI or DOJ so that some interns can sift through social media looking for words like Hanukkah, Seder, Mazel Tov, etc? Probably.

Yea, no one volunteering is the point.

Can the trump admin prove that they do in the first place?

Probably volunteering information by signing up for notifications about religious events.

That's a headline I didn't expect to see in a USA media outlet.

Don’t they need all the Jews to return to Israel before JC comes back? I worry about this…

I guess our "president" is showing us the prelude to his very own [***Final Solution to the Jewish Question***](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Solution) (AKA Endlösung der Judenfrage).
