Another Solomon Amendment decision
We had a discussion on this blog, a few months ago, about "subsidiarity" and the Third Circuit's decision striking down the Solomon Amendment (which requires, among other things, law schools at universities receiving federal money to permit the military to recruit) on First Amendment grounds. Another court has weighed in. Go here (to uber-law-blogger Howard Bashman's site) for more. As I have discussed elsewhere (and in a recent issue of Commonweal Magazine), I regard the First Amendment arguments against the Solomon Amendment -- advanced in this case by various professors at Yale Law School -- to be quite unconvincing (and, in some respects, a bit disingenuous).
