"A federal court ruled..."

It is the judges. The judges don't apply the law anymore, they are the law and now force the public to accept what their personal opinion holds as politically correct outcomes.

I recommend a great read, "The Tempting of America," by Robert Bork.

If all you need to be a judge is an opinion and the arrogance to force it on others, then any child could be a judge. You don't even need to know the law. What would be the point of knowing it if you are going to ignore it anyway?

I recommend a much, much better one: The Presumption of Liberty, by Randy Barnett.

While we're carrying on about those silly, silly judges, let's bear in mind that these two women are public employees, and all that's happened is that they've been denied access to a tax-supported bulletin board that a private employer wouldn't be required to provide in the first place.

I disagree with the judge's ruling in this case and I expect it will be overturned on appeal. But it doesn't shove anything down your throat; it merely limits what government employees are allowed to do while at work on the public dime.

If they don't like it, they can always get jobs in the private sector and see how many fliers they're allowed to post.
