High Court to Review Ban on Campus Recruiters

The Supreme Court announced today that it would decide whether some law schools may curb military recruiters' access to their students in protest of the U.S. armed forces' ban on openly homosexual members.

On its face, the case is a struggle between Congress' power of the purse and academic freedom; the court is being asked to rule on the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment, a federal law that requires universities to give military recruiters equal access, or risk millions of dollars in federal funding.

In a larger sense, however, the case is a battle within the larger culture wars, a clash between the Bush administration, deeply committed to its support base among social conservatives, and its perennial critics on the nation's law school faculties, many of whom are no less committed to gay rights...

Just more ACLU terrorism....The US Supreme Court will probably favor them as in almost all past cases....

They try to tag everything to gay rights. Get'n old and boring.
