National Day of Counter-Recruitment
December 6, 2005, is the day that the Supreme Court decides whether or not the Soloman Act, which requires schools to allow recruiters on campus, or lose federal funding. Armed Forces Recruiting Stations may be targeted for anti-military demonstrations.
Anti-military protestors are planning to demonstrate at the Library Mall, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at 2 PM. They will then proceed to the Armed Forces Recruitment Center on University Square or the ROTC office.
Also demonstrations to take place on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. Counter demonstrations by those in support of the U.S. Armed Forces is highly encouraged.
DC and WI ping!
Just need the cops to watch for the dope smokers
I wrote one of the briefs in this case. I think the Court will uphold the Solomon Amendment and reverse the decision of the Third Circuit. If it does not do that, it means that Justices who use the Constitution for toilet paper still hold a majority on the Court. I don't think the new Chief Justice will allow that to happen.
Also, if Judge Alito is confirmed to replace Justice O'Connor before the decision is handed down, and if her vote changing would affect the outcome, then the case will be reargued, and the decision will be reconsidered with Alito instead of O'Connor in place.

Please correct my understanding of this situation: Because this University is a land-grant school, doesn't that limit the scope of these extortions protests that aim to change the status quo?
Thanks!
And I'll take my answer off the air.
