I agree with David that Ilya's remarks don't seem likely to be the target of significant protest. From what I can tell, Ilya has done several dozen of these talks without being protested since the Hastings event where he (absurdly) was prevented from speaking. I mostly recently saw him speak at Stanford Law a few months ago, invited by the student chapter of the Federalist Society, and there was no protest at all. Some law students who strongly disagreed with him attended the speech and asked him pointed questions during the Q&A, but that's how these things are supposed to go.
Bravo to you and FIRE.
Very interesting analysis David and one I really appreciated.

Oh for Christ's sake! That's inexcusable.
