It took only 60 minutes for over 50 signatures to be collected.
This is really sad.

This is sad... but hilarious. What meaning does a petition have? It has only the meaning to which free speech pertains. Without free speech, what would be the point - or legality - of a petition?

Free speech is freedom of action in the public sphere. Speech, unlike physical force, does not impinge upon the body of the person afflicted.

"Freedom of speech" is a derivative right. It is a right based on the right to liberty, which is based on the right to life. Until the reduction is understood, our rights will remain on sinking ground.

  Those Yale students were evidently not educated enough to know that they were signing an anti-petition petition.

I really hope it's not true.

It took him 72 seconds per signature. Maybe he asked someone every 7 seconds and only had a 10% acceptance rate. Also, I wonder if he said plainly he was for repealing the First Amendment.

It's probably true. I just wish it weren't.

  I really wanted more opinions on that.
  Funny how some posts sputter out on take off while others fly zoom to the moon.
  Thanks for opining.
