BERKELEY (AP) -- University of California, Berkeley students who invited Ann Coulter to speak on campus have filed a lawsuit against the university, saying it is discriminating against conservative speakers and violating students' rights to free speech.
Harmeet Dhillon, a San Francisco attorney who represents the Berkeley College Republicans, filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
Dhillon is also an RNC committeewoman from California.
Campus Republicans invited Coulter to speak at Berkeley this Thursday, but Berkeley officials informed the group last week that the event was being called off for security concerns.
After the university backtracked and offered an alternate date, Coulter has insisted that she plans to still come Thursday.
Coulter tweeted Monday that the lawsuit "demands appropriate & safe venue for my speech THIS THURSDAY."
Berkeley's Indoctrination...not education.
sunia akaveka you're exactly right about that. they try to indoctrinate these kids that have no life experience and make them think that what they're doing is for a good cause. most of them are nothing more than just useful idiots.
Along with 99% of the universities out there. Hard left liberal bias for DECADES.
sunia akaveka
Well said.!
Dean Kruger no way!!!
Agreed
the mayor of berkeley needs to be thrown out of office.
Legh Cathey if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
capitalism420: Rabble rouser. I like it.
Legh Cathey
Also tarred and feathered
I called them all day yesterday and they never responded, but I left a message.
Will the "real leftists" protest in front of the mayor's house? Will the disrupt the DNC?
lawyer up conservatives .. bout time they stood up to thugs
Conservatives, lawyer up with attorney Harmeet Dhillon, she appears to be one bad ass mother...
I am not scared of a post on fb that is for sure tough guy.. get a life
Antifa and the staff at Berkley were being thugish to conservatives .. you don't even know my views except for the view we should all be allowed a voice..
I am not a conservative dummy just a fan of free speech
also I don't care what everyone is talking about.. shutting down a speaker is a thugish act ... you disagree and bring up terrorists? liberals? and Nazis? Guy come back to planet earth and calm down
The professors who encouraged their students to be violent should also be held accountable.
Funky B if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Love this lawyer. Thank you for standing up for the constitution.
phi 0318 if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Everyone has the right to speak their mind ... NO MATTER WHAT THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS ARE!!!!
Adrian Barrera if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Adrian Barrera well......men still have to shut up and put up...or do we not qualify for the list?
Vincent Hildebrand Still, EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH!
Molon Labe so why are men always being shut up then? Why do feminists bully, silence and fight against men speaking out?
God I wish I could go to Berkeley Thursday to support those students, Ann and our 1ST Amendment!
Wow, they got the right girl for the job. She is a very impressive woman.
More power to these student groups. Thank God that young people, who are not yet brainwashed, are fighting for their rights.
Setanta if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Setanta
I second that motion these institutions were built for higher learning not institutionalized brain washing
Setanta Except they do not have the right to take away free speech or free assembly for others. I'm only guessing here so forgive me if I'm incorrect but have you ever heard of or read our constitution?Or am I misunderstanding and you are saying you think the students who invited Ms. Coulter should get to hear her speak? Not quite sure.
Molon Lobe, I am saying that it is a good thing that the Young Republicans and the other student group have hired an attorney to help them fight against the wrongful verbal U C Berkley policy that is hindering their right to assemble and hear Ann Coulter speak. As the attorney explained the college administration has set up "road blocks" (my words) that are ensuring that Ann Coulter does not receive a prime space or prime time for the speaking event. Yes, I have heard of and have read the Constitution of the United States of America.
I really like this Lawyer....did I just say that?
Scott And Sadie if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Louise Engels absolutely! Tell him the world is watching their injustice!
It's about time !
i hope they sue the bastards and win!!
I don't hold any anticipation that they will win, in today's political climate, I hope they do of course, but will hold there.. But it will help with the change of society that will spark, a better future. I've been so pessimistic of late, with world issues, that I think we can't win. This makes me at least, hopeful. Let's see. Cheers
Holidayy mann
With all the Dumbass LIBTARD judges having been appointed by the dems throughout the years It might have to go all the way to the Supreme Court
Geoffrey Field I think Ann will win. Not only are her rights being violated but the rights of the students that invited her to speak. The college is not a privately funded one but a gov. funded one.
Jacqueline Russell I hope it does!
This woman is the definition of a true and powerful woman. She is obviously knowledgeable on many topics regarding constitutional rights. Liberal women who are looking in the wrong places for powerful and influential women need to simply look to this strong woman.
Dale lmao I was about to comment on the same thing, this is a true women right here no fucks given dropping triggering words every where
And so calm, so unruffled.
Dale if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Sanni Epstein Because she knows she is in the right and following the constitution and expecting it to be upheld according to law.
Dale powerful? lol
She should also mention how many of the professors and leaders of the university actively encourage threats and violence.
Joel Rowe if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
There was actually a Berkeley university employee participating in committing violence at the Milo event.
I'm am sooooo happy this is FINALLY happen! Ann has just unleashed the rath of Hell by retaining Ms. Dhillon to go after the WHOLE school system involvement. She is going to walk them through our Constitutions 1ST AMENDMENT!! This has made my whole week! Fantastic!
Big Agenda if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
capitalism420 Thanks, done! I think I'll also be giving the Timothy White, Chancellor of the CA University system a call 562-951-4000 maybe we all should.
Big Agenda Ann is big on ones constitutional rights no matter who they are and will fight like a bull dog endlessly until the constitution is upheld. Watch and see.
Big Agenda America has been waiting for someone with guts to make our gov. and idiots like this college to uphold our constitution. The people of America know what the Constitution says. It's very clear. We know what it means. We understand. We the People demand it be upheld! We are watching!
Big Agenda Thanks for that number. He probably will only take messages but that's ok. We can fill up his message box every day.
Finally conservatives get smart and stop complaining about what liberals do and start suing.
Zen Masta if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
You missed one about 14 pages back; go find it & correct your error. Also, did you lock your front door when you left? Did you leave the stove on?
bzzz The real question is, did you lock your apartment door and did you turn your stove off before you left?What about your hot plate?
What a smart, well spoken Lady.
THIS WOMAN IS A BAD ASS!! THANK YOU LORD
Tyler Spence if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
NO MORE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR BERKELEY!!
Trump strip the college of federal funds.
paula green if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
paula green - And make them solely private institutions; so they can act even more independently?
Ms. Dhillon is a powerhouse. She did a marvelous job of outlining the case against the university.
She is an excellent lawyer.
I am THRILLED about this suit!!! smart, savvy attorney. Bravo!
they selected the right lawyer
it's a disgrace! she should be allowed to speak! I like her and not only because she is hot!
Holidayy mann uhhh... what? I like Ann coulter as much as anyone but calling her hot... now that is a stretch. You got low standards bro
Beauty is in the eye of beholder. I find Ann Coulter hot as well. Some guys, consider intellect to be part of a woman's charms.
Holidayy mann if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Harmeet is so BADASS. I love her. We need so many more like her.
it's about time....go get them Ann
Yes kudos to the Young Repubs for doing this! Thank you!
too many leftist Professors
Maria Gonzales if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100

Defund Berkeley RIGHT THE HELL NOW.
LunarStarStory if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
It starts at the top. This needs to be litigated.
Who is this lawyer, she seems like a decent person, nay a good person... I am having cognitive dissonance because she is a lawyer...
Beverley allow the ex President of Mexico who is not our friend to the USA to speak but not allow Anna Coulter to speak a USA citizen uhh !!!
Jose madrigal
That's just how Upside Down this Country truly is?
berkeley should be ashamed of itself. Kudos to these students for standing up and fighting for FREE SPEECH.
She's brilliant!
This chick rocks! Harmeet Dhillon should run for office. Brilliant!
File a civil and criminal suit against Yvette Felarca as well. Documented proof of her violence all over TH-cam.
I'm no lawyer, but this kind of discussion is why our system is superior to European systems. For as much as they (especially the British) talk about freedom and free speech, they don't actually have it, and they don't have established law that allows them to make these arguments about free speech. This is why you see Germans, Swedes, and others being so careful when they criticize government policies and ideas, because they know they can get a knock on the door from the police, or a fine.
I don't want them to take a settlement. Berkeley is clearly in the wrong here and must be held accountable.
Whatever happened to the saying "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it!"
Wasn't this a fundamental American principle? Seems like now it's "I'll fight you if you say something I don't like".
How did Americans let this happen?
Sailorjerry46 if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Caul Casion if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Sailorjerry46 The gov. did it to us little by little by making us feel bad about wanting our basic rights respected and upheld. They used shame, guilt and peoples success a lot. People began to feel bad for even suggesting their rights had been violated.
Caul Casion then he will have to get a new number
PARENTS!! Get your kids out of Berkley now..A degree from Berkley will be less than useless in 5 years save your kids before they turn into a basement dwelling blight on your good family names.
Christopher Lee The parents are probably just glad their kids are off to college and out of their hair. They probably don't even check to see what's going on with them.
Glad to finally see someone fighting back in the legal front.
What a woman. Smh. This is what feminism should look like. In stead we get trigglypuff.....🤢
Good. Let's have this whole matter exposed before a court of law: the role of the University Administration, the role of the mayor, and the role of the police. Let's just hope the judge(s) are not also biased!
Frank Zimmerman if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Why would he listen to me?
Frank Zimmerman Brought out into the open for people to see, will the college fight to NOT uphold the Constitution and rights of others for all the world to see? I have a feeling that would be a huge mistake!
If you're considering going to this University...DON'T!!!
Its time for Berkeley to lose their federal funding.
Censorship has got to go!
I could listen to Harmeet Dhillon speak ad infinitum. So perfectly competent and utterly dignified.
good. Berkley is out of control. they have to be punished.
Berkeley is not the great school that it used to be.
The federal government should cut off federal funding.
Class action. They need to be held accountable. All the higher ups who have control and issue orders to the police to stand down, allowing thugs to beat on citizens.
MIND BLOWING! ......the birthplace of free speech??? YUP....for one side.
Finally it's happening!!
This woman is badass good!!!
Sue the crap out that joke of a university.
This is girl power at its best!!!
This lady is in fire! 14:20 into it when she said this isn't a liberal or conservative issue, it's a first amendment issue.
GOOD! I have been stressing to sue the city because the mayor is responsible for the police stepping down but yes sue UCB as well!!!
Finally! How wonderful!.
This is great to hear!!..Stay strong young Republicans!
time to drain the swamp at Berkley !
What ever happened to freedom of speech. For or against it is our rights.
We call for Berkeley police to do their job next time.
I love this woman. Fantastic!
she is great!
This intelligent lady could be at the tip of a very, very sharp and effective spear. May God give her wisdom and courage!
Thank you !
Greg Guthrie if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Shame on ... Berkeley and all who think some people are more equal than others.. Everyone has a right to be heard!
This lawyer gives me hope for just America
Trump should hire her for US Attorney or to a position in the US Dept of Justice
Go for the jugular!
I've about had it with these "veto by riot" punks!
Stephen Dise well said
Sara Decapua It looks like they won this one, Sara. It's a dark day indeed.
This is one incredibly smart woman.
Good to see that some people paid attention in law school and actually know how to be a real lawyer.
Gooo college republicans !!!!! Stand up for freedom of speach to the Liberals!
Praise KEK.
Steve Bannon KEK BE WITH US! if you'd like to contact their mayor give him a call at (510) 981-7100
Time to shut down UC Berkeley!! fire All the Berkeley staff!!
Wow! 43 minutes went by so fast!
As a graduate of Cal Berkeley, I am disgusted by the University's behavior and policies.
Well presented. Both the town and the university have been disgraceful.
Close U C Berkely immediately!
UCAL is going to be crucified over this. I hope the Federal Secretary of Education slashes their funding to the bone, and that this case goes ALL the way to the Supreme Court, where Justice Gorsich will interpret the Constitution as it applies to the First Amendment.
UCAL is going to suffer a massive reaction to their bias and bigotry, big time.
The students hired a terrific attorney.
This is your mind on "BERKLEY"
She's so well spoken and generally awesome.
There's a reason they're called Berzerkeley.
We are in a scary sad state of affairs regarding free speech.
Where is the ACLU Phonies.
The so called journalist making a statement rather than asking a question at 15:00 is a prime example of what is going wrong in this country.
Berkeley is going to get demolished in this lawsuit.
Am I the only one that is extremely turned on by this lawyer?
Cal's used to be "prestige" great university. Sad!
❤️🇺🇸❤️
I almost sent my daughter to Cal Berkeley...... damn glad I didn't now!!!
Liberty and Justice for All My uncle was a professor there many, many years ago. nHe would be horrified at what this so-called school is now. He was open-minded man and we had some great discussions then. Looks like those days are gone. This will wind up going to the Supreme Court. Freedom of speech no longer exists, especially in bigger universities.
The lawyer seems to be quite sharp. Good
This attorney is articulate, intelligent, and highly skilled in making the case for her clients.
Goddamnit. I just woke up and now I'm fuming with rage. Great
I LIKE that lady!
Has anyone ever heard the other side say anything at all that proves any of their points with such clarity. Anything at all?
Boy...how far has Berkeley falling!! It is so sad to hear such a good school going down this way. It is just too bad.
Sue thier ASS off!!
Thank god ppl have finally come around!
sad and tragic doesn't even begin to get it
