The Supreme court upheld the Solomon Amendment, which allows the federal government to withold federal funding to universities if they don't permit military recruiters on campus.
A coalition of 36 law schools had sued claiming the legislation harmed free speech. They were also offended by the military's don't ask don't tell policy.
Speaking of free speech, one of the coalition schools, Yale, recently admitted a former spokesman for the Taliban.
The court ruling was unanimous. Should make for interesting case studies at the law schools.
