Don’t you love it? The “Free Speech Zone” is all fenced in! I’m surprised they didn’t use barbed wire and put up a machine gun and searchlight tower next to it.
Even Obama appointees Kagan and Sotomayor agreed that Georgia Gwinnett College trampled on Christian students’ free speech rights; so it was an 8-1 decision by the court in favor of the students.
Chief Justice John Roberts, whom we once believed to be a conservative, was the only “no” vote (https://thefederalist.com/2021/03/08/in-8-1-scotus-ruling-chief-justice-john-roberts-is-the-only-one-to-side-against-christian-students-whose-free-speech-was-trampled/).
The students were hassled by the kampus kops when they tried to hand out literature and talk to other students. They moved to the skool’s “(LOL) free speech zone” but got hassled there, too.
And you’re gonna love this: the college defended its actions by saying that the Christian students’ speaking freely violated the school’s “Freedom of Expression” policy. Doh!
When the students sued, Gwinnet “changed” its policy to remove “barriers” to free speech. The chief justice said that made the whole case moot. The other eight disagreed with him.
A case has to be a real slam dunk, to get those eight votes.
Does that mean the Supreme Court still has some interest, however minuscule, in preserving America as a free country?
But let’s not hold our breath.
When leftists make a better ruling than the Republican appointed Chief Justice something is seriously wrong.
Robert’s does not impress me, one bit.
He was supposed to be good. He isn’t.
I’m not sure that he even rises to the level of lousy. 🙂
Speaking of untrustworthy public figures… I’ve got a post about Kamala Harris.
Fingers crossed.
John Roberts was appointed by Geo Bush who has turned out to be a Rhino. How often are certain conservatives hailed as our great hopes only to disappoint? – and in Roberts case has greatly disappointed us.
Somehow they almost always do disappoint us.
We need Donald Trump back in the White House.
Wow if Kagan and Sotomayor agreed with conservative judges but roberts can be against free speech and Christian speeches, it shows how nutty roberts is…
If there’s a bad ruling to be made, he’ll make it.
Sadly that is true
