#1 This is a perfect example of where the legislature should not sit on its ass and accept what the courts have done.

#2 This is a perfect example of why an unchecked Federal judiciary must be held accountable via the abolition of life tenure and the introduction of elected judges.

#3 It is also an example of why we should abolish government education. Let the private sector run the school system.

#4 ZF, Do you really think the people of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, true blue states all, would vote in judges who would rule any differently? This is a problem for Congress to address. I think we'd get wackier judges if we left it to the whim of the people. Can you imagine Al Sharpton running for the Secound Court of Appeals?

#5 In typical liberal fashion, the court denies the Free speech rights of the Army...

#6 exactly Ptah! : the free speech rights of the University liberals trump the free speech rights of the military recruiters? Remove all Federal funding from these ivory-tower assholes. Let their supporters make up the difference. This won't stand

#7 To paraphrase Jackson - the court has made its decision, now let it enforce it. Don't think Congress would impeach Mr. Bush anymore than it would impeach these modern royals who issue such a decree if Mr. Bush tells his executive branch officers not to cut the checks.

#8 What a Fed Appeals Court decides means little. Something like this will definitely be appealed to the Supreme Court. There are other gov funding than direct funding funding via gov grants and scholarship money. For instance, research money (including military) is a big chunk of spending and virtually funds the graduate programs. No grad students = no teaching/research/low level and laboratory instructors = death of the university. There are other many ways to screw with the faculty such as not inviting them to prestigious gov sponsored conferences and decling to publish their papers for those conferences.

#10 I bet this gets overturned very quickly. The court overstepped it's jurisdiction on this one. It's Congress that has the power to raise Armies and not the Court. A strong argument can be made that they court cannot restrict how Congress performs that duty. Of which these college recruitments are one. Kind of makes me wish I was still in. I would make it a point to have a beer or two every Friday in some campus watering hole in uniform. I did that in Maryland once and nobody (except the bartender) said two words to me.

#11 It will get overturned. I did some recruiting at UofMichigan after OCS, no one gave me a problem & that's a pretty lefty school.
