I say that if they are truly principled, they will turn down the federal money. If they don't, they are lying through their liberal money grubbing teeth. Let them put their (government) money where their mouth is.

On CSPAN right now. Scalia is awesome. John Roberts is going to be outstanding.

[clee1]

Exactly.

They have to decide what is more important: their gooberment subsidies, or their loyalty to butt-bandits. The irony is delicious.

Only law professors can be so screwed up as to think that their first amendment rights are being violated just because Uncle Sugar puts some strings on his cash.

The Law Schools can bitch about it all day long, no one is messing with their First Amendment rights.

The Professors' argument is so convoluted and nonsensical, it is amazing that any lower court every upheld their argument.

"John Roberts is going to be outstanding."

I like it when he said that all they had to do was turn down federal money. Why do law professors have to make things so complicated? Or could there be a hidden agenda? (I already know the answer too....lol)

It is clear these colleges do have viable alternatives to raise the money required. I don't know about you but I find it interesting that 35 Billion dollars goes to fund colleges and the cost of tuition is still skyrocketing. It seems they are operating under the college entitlement system. Hobson has long been turned out on his ear and his ponies have been worked to the bone.

[MissouriConservative]

Maybe they can turn to their homosexual donors to make up the money lost from the government? Let them all put their money up and stand up for what they believe in.

[MissouriConservative]

The Supreme Court will set them all straight, no pun entended.

Rebekah Phelps-Roper

Is she related to Fred?

[clee1]

The trouble with THAT idea is that the liberal fag mafia wants to make all of US pay for the spread of their perverted lifestyles.

They don't want to have to personally support their agenda - they want to use the police power of gooberment to do it for them.

[MissouriConservative]

I just want colleges to come clean on where the money is going. It's getting so that most people can't afford college even though thousands of our tax dollars are going into them like a bottomless pit.

[MissouriConservative]

I was thinking Mr. Roper....lol

[sam_paine]

what is more important: their gooberment subsidies, or their loyalty to butt-bandits.

You know who wins that one.

Money talks, butt-bandits walk (lightly in the loafers.)

[jiggyboy]

I was surprised not to hear or read anything about what I think is an equivalent dilemma: a lawsuit settlement that requires the parties not to reveal the settlement itself. Isn't that the same idea? You have to relinquish your Free Speech Rights to get the cash, and that's by order of the court. Isn't that the same principle in this FAIR case?

Very unlikely that this can be construed as even an inkling of a change in the Supremies voracious taste for political activism and legislating from the bench!

[blinachka]

New Chief Justice John Roberts said schools unhappy with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy have a simple solution: turn down federal cash.

This line brought a smile to my face because it really is THAT simple. I think I might be in love with Chief Justice Roberts! (ha!)

[jwalsh07]

Not even close. 6-3 or better to uphold the Solomon Amendment. Why do I say that?

Because Breyer asked the best question in the oral arguments to the FAIR attorney, to wit, "Why isn't more speech better than less speech?"(paraphrased).

Ballgame over.

Roberts was very succinct. You don't want the military then don't take the money. Cites precedent of Dole.

[jwalsh07]

See 18.

[Torie]

Yup. But then this one was roadkill from the beginning. SCOTUS favors the war on terror.
