Roberts Likes Military Recruiting on Campus

[ The statement made by law schools in compliance with this ruling is that money is more important than ethics. The statement made prior failing in court where these schools allowed military recruiters on campus without question was that federal policy was to be taken as ethically suffice. The suing schools failed even the PR campaign here by suing for sexual expression bashing, directed at gays, in a then halfhearted effort to simply diminish militarism. The use of militarism today is so far from it's constitutional definition today as to be arguable undisputedly in mere moments to legal abolition where any justice waging government were resident. At the founding of this nation the threat would have been the event that spawned a recruiting effort, opposed todays constant drive to find boys to die killing other people's sons and daughters. Further the militarily prepared in that day weree educated buy the writing of the founders to most closely monitor the government as it was historically the most likely offender of the general population. Today no such protection is offered as our highly effective killers are rallied in support of what the founders wrote of as the gravest threat to their and their families well being, a homeward fascist treachery. Rendering irrepairably illegal the very notion of todays militance, the fiercest military in the world has no business dropping bombs on 3rd world homes averaging 100 times a month... as has been the case in Iraq over the past few years. An ideals, rather than finance and terror, driven court would have set military recruitment to nil in consideration of the constitution. This as there is no military threat against this country that calls for a 150,000 man response. We were attacked by 19 people, who were financed and led in their objective by some couple hundred people at most. The lives of the 19 has been explored in the least and the most potent of the couple hundred who acted in their support have been shielded from recognition as a potent threat by the terror inducing in government alignment media and the government itself. ]

Court Upholds Campus Military Recruiting
By GINA HOLLAND, Associated Press Writer 6 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that colleges that accept federal money must allow military recruiters on campus, despite university objections to the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays.
Justices rejected a free-speech challenge from law schools and their professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters or promote their campus appearances.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the court, said that the campus visits are an effective military recruiting tool.
"A military recruiter's mere presence on campus does not violate a law school's right to associate, regardless of how repugnant the law school considers the recruiter's message," he wrote.
Law schools had become the latest battleground over the "don't ask, don't tell" policy allowing gay men and women to serve in the military only if they keep their sexual orientation to themselves.
Many universities forbid the participation of recruiters from public agencies and private companies that have discriminatory policies.
The court's decision upholds a law that requires colleges that take federal money to accommodate recruiters.
Roberts, writing his third decision since joining the court last fall, said there are other less drastic options for protesting the policy. "Students and faculty are free to associate to voice their disapproval of the military's message," he wrote.
"Recruiters are, by definition, outsiders who come onto campus for the limited purpose of trying to hire students — not to become members of the school's expressive association," he wrote.
The federal law, known as the Solomon Amendment after its first congressional sponsor, mandates that universities give the military the same access as other recruiters or forfeit federal money.
College leaders have said they could not afford to lose federal help, some $35 billion a year.
The court heard arguments in the case in December, and justices signaled then that they had little problem with the law.
Roberts filed the only opinion, which was joined by every justice but Samuel Alito. Alito did not participate because he was not on the bench when the case was argued.
"The Solomon Amendment neither limits what law schools may say nor requires them to say anything," Roberts wrote.
The case is Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, 04-1152.
