WOW! Someone hold me up, the SCOTUS actually ruled that if they accept Federal Funds they actually have to abide by Federal Rules. Have the Libs all committed hari-kari yet???

Beware though - that while the case in this ruling is a victory, it is a double-edged sword. if there is a policy we oppose, a school will have to follow that policy if they accept Fed funds too.

I must admit, I like the result on this one, but not the same logic that produces "colleges who accept federal funds must allow transgender studies, courses on whiteness, and the moral superiority of indigenous peoples over the West". I doubly applaud universities who support the military AND refuse to accept federal funds (what few there may be of them).

Was the decision unanimous ? If not, what was the decision breakdown ?

This is good, and bad.

He who pays the piper calls the tunes. In this case if the Federal Government provides a school money, the Federal Government can tell the school what to do.

When it somes to military recruiters, that is good, but when it comes to _______ fill in the blank, it could be bad.

I would rather the Federal Government did not tax one set of citizens to give money to another. With the money saved, recruiting office could have been set up across the street from the campus.

I would feel this way regardless. I support the military, and I think they should be allowed to recruit on campus I just wish it could have been done without giving the Federal Government control over what should be a private institution what should or should not be allowed.

I would rather win this culture war with the force of a good argument, rather then through the courts.

No real surprise it was a unanimous decision. Other cases involving federal funds, such as highways, have often been unanimous.

The sole purpose of the military recruiting ban by the college elites was the Gay-sponsored attack on the "Don't ask don't tell" policy.

Rush always says follow the money. Additionally, one can also follow the queers or the abortionists!

A double slap to the gay agenda.

Brokeback Mountain loses and ROTC wins at SCOTUS.

Whoo, whoo, excellent! The Moonbat leftists at Universities will rear their heads from the federal trough from which they feed, and bay.

The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.

When my son was at Carnegie Mellon they did not allow Army ROTC on campus. I wonder how this ruling affects CMU?
