Stanford Law students come out of the closet to defend a convicted pedophile

You may remember the new-Nazis at Stanford Law School who two weeks shut down a federal judge’s speech because he had ruled against Mr. Varner’s attempt to change his name. Now, details of who Varner is and what he did have been revealed by the Daily Mail.

This is the transgender pedophile at the center of a mass protest at Stanford University against a Trump-appointed Judge who refused to allow the felon to change her name on conviction records.

DailyMail.com can reveal the mugshot of Norman Keith Varner, 42, who failed in her bid to change her name to Kathrine Nicole Jett, 42, on court records.

Varner has twice been convicted of possessing child pornography and failing to register as a sex offender.

In 2012 Varner pleaded guilty to one count of attempted receipt of child pornography and was sentenced to 15 years in prison which will be followed by 15 years supervised release.

By 2015, while in prison, Varner came out as a transgender woman and began 'hormone replacement therapy' shortly after trying to change her surname to Jett in Kentucky.

However, the US Court of Appeals rejected Varner's appeal to change her conviction records to her new name. Fifth Circuit Judge Stuart Duncan and others ruling it as 'meritless' because the pedophile was known as Norman Varner at the time she committed the child sex abuse offenses.

There are many more details at the Daily Mail link, but you can go there yourself if you’re interested. In the meantime, Over at Hot Air, John Zmirak has thoughts:

We might understand the zeal of young, idealist students in reacting that way to a judge who’d affirmed chattel slavery, or legal abortion — even as we lectured them on the importance of free speech.

But what was the ruling, and what was the case, on which Judge Duncan ruled? What are the high principles, sacred causes, and fundamental loyalties that motivated the angry mob at Stanford? Knowing that is important, because it’s a spiritual biopsy of America’s elite. …

So what are their fighting issues? The Daily Mail helpfully tells us. Here’s the case where Judge Duncan’s ruling touched the protestors’ deepest values.
