Well, it’s a first step.
Next liberal baboso outrage step right up to be hammered.

Judicial immunity is commonplace for city and county boards. Perhaps someone better versed in this could comment...

After weeks of bad news, this is refreshing.As a Coloradan, I can't tell you how happy this makes me. The idea that tax money was going to go toward paying him anything, especially legal fees, really made me angry.
I occasionally go back to school and take a class here or there. A few years ago, on the second day of class, something about this case had made the news that morning, and the professor mentioned that she knew Churchill, that he was being railroaded, yadda yadda yadda. All together, about 10 minutes of red-faced, spittle-punctuated ranting about what a great guy Churchill is.
I transferred out of class that day.

Believe it or not, I have had the same experience at Iowa City.

UC-Santa Cruz? UMass-Amherst? UC-Riverside? UIC? The list of possibilities, unfortunately, is lengthy.

Courts are extremely reluctant to second-guess colleges and universities over faculty employment issues, like promotion and tenure. As long as established procedures were followed and due process observed, Churchill had little hope for a successful court challenge to CU’s decision. There was a similar case last year involving a Holocaust denier on the faculty somewhere. The university denied him tenure not because of his odious views (which were protected speech) but because his scholarship demonstrably sucked.

Why was this ruling not made before the trial?

Actually, the Judge threw out the jury's finding.
He doesn't even get the $1.

"
Occasionally there is justice in this world."
If it is merely occasional, it isn't justice.

If it is merely occasional, it isn't justice. With the system in place in America today ... when it comes to state and federal government ... merely 'occasional justice' is much better than 'no' justice. Unfortunately for America and conservatives today that's the best we can hope for ... a rebellion is brewing. I can feel it ...
