Some observers say that Alito cannot be easily pigeon-holed. In Saxe v. State College Area School District, Alito, writing for the panel, argued that the school does not have the right to punish students for vulgar language or harassment when it doesn't disrupt the school day. "Sam struck that down as a violation of free speech," Kmiec says. "That's not a conservative outcome." Why is that not a conservative outcome?

Maybe there should have been a law? It does sound odd, because 'harassment' IS disruptive, assuming it hasn't been defined down too far.

So, the "conservative outcome", using this logic, would be banning the vulgar language all the time.

Why is that not a conservative outcome?I wondered that too. I think lots of people have a very wrong picture of what conservatism is.

That is indeed a conservative outcome. Sounds like whomever wrote that piece was trying to label conservatives as fascists.
