Court halts penalty for barring recruiters

[madinmaryland]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A federal appeals court barred the government Monday from blocking funds to colleges and universities that deny access to military recruiters because of the Pentagon's policy banning openly gay men and women.

In a 2-1 ruling, a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, said a 10-year-old federal law that allows the government to block such funds violates the schools' First Amendment right to prohibit on-campus recruiting in response to the Pentagon policy.

The Justice Department promptly criticized the ruling, but it did not immediately announce plans to appeal.

2. Must have fresh meat

Yesterday I had to give a term final speech for college speech class
and I talked about the Repug double talk involving the draft and morality issues. I think I scared the shit out of the 18-20 year olds who didn't know "The No Child Left Behind Act" included a quite provision for drafting them as soon as June 2005. A lot of them turned pale, including the women. I asked by a hand count if anyone was sorry for voting RED and I had about 2 dozen hands pop up in a class of 29......
