Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights.

This is the "military recruitment on college campuses" case that has now been unanimously decided by the Supreme Court in favor of the recruiters. Law school professors had banded together and claimed that they shouldn't be forced to "associate" with military recruiters so long as the "don't ask, don't tell" policy is in effect.

For those who are going to try to blame this decision on Sam Alito, it should be noted that he did not participate in the decision because he wasn't on the bench when the case was heard. Chief Justice John Roberts did write the opinion. And again, a unanimous decision -- meaning Ginsburg and Breyer went along with it. Souter and Kennedy did as well. This must infuriate the extreme Left to no end. Apparently, this was not about politics but the Constitution. What a breath of fresh air!

The particular amendment passed by Congress that was challenged by these law school professors was the "Solomon Amendment", named for the late Gerald Solomon, a Marine-turned-Congressman who served from the state of New York. It requires that universities forfeit federal funds if they ban military recruiters on campus. Given that the life-blood of most universities is federal funding, the colleges squealed at the notion that the food in the trough would be taken away. An excellent decision.
