This case demonstrates why a limitation of federal courts' jurisdiction is needed today, if not before. Were the federal courts, with their $150,000 judges and support staff and buildings really created for the purpose of deciding whether a certain student should or should not wear a certain T-shirt to school.

Gimme a d*mned break. Any case that does not involve the interests of at least 1,000 students, or 10% of the students in a given school or school system, should be EXCLUDED from federal jurisdiction. This is just a matter of common sense. And I would like to propose exactly such a bill in the Congress of the US.
