Supreme Court grants review in military-recruiter case

The Supreme Court announced today that it will review the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit barring enforcement, on First Amendment grounds, of the Solomon Amendment, which requires the cutoff of federal funds to colleges that refuse to give military recruiters equal access to their students.  (Thanks to Lyle Denniston, of SCOTUSBlog, for this report).

We've discussed this case here at MOJ a few times before:  Rob suggested, for example, that the Third Circuit's decision could be seen as a win for the subsidiarity principle.  (See also here).  I expressed doubts on Rob's "take" here and here (and in Commonweal magazine).
