This was originally known as the Gerald Solomon Amendment. I did not know that it was even in court -- thought it was already settled.

Not likely. Reminds me of all the anti-war nuts who joined 2 year ROTC when Hershey pulled the plug on deferments. With these people, principle never outweighs self preservation.

Chew on this, Berkeley. I hope they march on your campus in numbers that make the 1945 march on Berlin look like a frickin' 3rd grade bake sale.

"I don't like this. It is fine while the pubs are in. But when the dems get in you might find that colleges that accept federal funds must allow peace corp recruiters, must allow male "re education" promoters, UN promoters, professors who follow the democrat line."

Been there, done that... what do you think the anti-male Title IX is all about. A Federal money hook to enforce a feminist agenda on college sports.

Fact is, it's the Golden Rule: He who has the gold, makes the rules. I admire Hillsdale College for forgoing Federal Money and thereby being free of such inducements and constraints.

"Unanimous."

You DO realize that even Ginsberg voted in favor, This means that the adults must have put forward arguments so strong that even a commie bitch like her had to go along.

HOORAY for our side!

I think alot of folks are confused as to the origins of this issue...It goes back to when the "Don't ask Don't tell policy" was announced in the early 90's. The liberal effete decided to ban military recruiters and ROTC programs on the basis that the military discriminates against homosexuals.

Congress then passed a law forbidding the federal funding of those universities who bar recruiters. The Hippy law professors then filed suit trying to overturn the law. The whole issue finally made it to the Supreme Court and has been resolved.

Expect mass harassment of the first recruiters that enter the Ivy Covered North Koreas after a decade.

SWEEEET!, but I predict this, FReepers....

"ASSAULT/BATTERY AGAINST MILITARY RECRUITERS ON CAMPUSES BY STUDENTS ON THE RISE"


Just watch. The scum don't just go away and never return. Perhaps we should hang out with the uniformed folks with videocameras in hand. Just to keep the traitors at bay.

Besides, whenever I see an American in uniform, I just HAVE to go over and start talking with them -especially the squids.

"Justices [unanimously] rejected a free-speech challenge from law schools and their professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters..."

Here's the money shot: the united law professors of our American colleges/universities were just b!tch-slapped by a unanimous Supreme Court ruling against them.

Now consider just how out of touch you have to be both with mainstream American society as well as from U.S. law to lose 9 to 0 in the SCOTUS...

...yet those losers are "teaching" every generation of American attorneys.

How many universities will fire a single one of those "law" professors?

Pause

This is yet another indication that American universities have been taken over by radicals with anti-American agendas.

You know that they are bad when both Scalia on the Right as well as Ginsberg on the Left slaps them down.

The schools could argue that the federal government only has a right to specify how federal funds are used, but not to link acceptance of that money to other areas that are none of the Feds business. The schools could argue that the anti-recruitment ban is a state's decision, on a matter unrelated to acceptance of federal funds, that the feds have no authority to override.

I would argue that military recruitment is very much a federal matter. Indeed, I would argue that if one is to accept the majority of federal college funding as constitutional, a large part of the basis for that would be that such funding helps to develop possible recruits for the officer corps. If a school won't allow the federal government access to recruit the students it has helped pay for, there's little reason for the government to be paying for them in the first place.
