Do you remember that case up north where a mother went to identify a man that raped her daughter in front of her? It was on tv. When she saw him she pulled out a gun and started blasting. She hit him a couple of times, but he survived. I don't think much happened to her. * * *

Supreme Ct "Colleges accepting Federal Funds must allow Military Recruiters"---Breaking - Supreme Court Upholds College Military Recruiting Law Monday, March 06, 2006 foxnews.com 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 school professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters or promote their campus appearances. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, which was unanimous. 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. Roberts, writing his third decision since joining the court, said there are other less drastic options to protest the policy. "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. 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.
