Universities and colleges are centers of "progressive" power. They hate being made to follow the Constitution.

Seized illegally by UK police? For a moment I thought this was a story from England;)

Quite so.

Obvious examples include their disregard of court rulings concerning racial quotas and laws concerning ROTC on campus. Is not just that they hate following the Constitution, they arrogantly evade the Constitution and the laws made pursuant to the Constitution.

"Tenure" should not mean sovereign immunity.

The University of KY is as liberal as they get. However, their faculty and administration does not reflect the views of true Kentuckyians. The Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper, likewise, is extremely liberal. Local radio negates some of the extremism. Gay rights stories were were favored for the front page before Obama came out for same sex marriage. Look at how KY votes in Presidential elections and you will get a view of where the REAL people are. Many Democrats in KY haven’t voted that way in a Presidential election for years. Kentucky is a great place and is not like Pennsylvania at all. Closest friends often disagree politically but still remain close in KY because they know where that line is drawn, unlike the viciousness we see on the large fringe of the Northeast and California. Thank God, in KY, the highest court still practices law.

“While it’s a certainty that UK will continue to engage in legal chicanery to avoid responsibility for paying the restitution and damages that Michael is entitled to, the language of the opinion makes it plain that all of their arguments to date were found to be lacking and insufficient.”

Let’s hope Mitchell comes in for a big payday, courtesy of UK.

My wife works for a State entity in MS. They recently passed out rules about having weapons on the property - not allowed. She has a CCW and protested that, in order to follow their rules, she would necessarily have to leave herself unprotected going to and leaving work. She asked if they would accept responsibility if she were hurt or killed on the way to/from work because they insisted she could not exercise her rights under the law to defend herself. Surprisingly, they modified it to allow weapons to be stored in one’s car while on their property (in line with MS’s definition of your vehicle being an extension of your home, and you can carry a weapon openly or concealed in the vehicle, because they charge property taxes on top of the vehicle’s license).
