1. thank you Congress for rolling over and letting Roberts rule

this is but the tip of the iceberg, Roberts is young and these cretins are appointed for LIFE.

2. I'm two for three
I think they were right on the Bong Hits case. He was at a school-sponsored event and he had a HUGE sign that made reference to drug use. Schools certainly have the right to limit speech that is in reference to drug use. The Principal (who I think is a complete ass for some of the other things she had done to this same kid) asked the kid to take it down and he didn't. If he had, everything I have read indicates that he would not have been suspended. The kid admits he did it to piss off the Principal which seems to be to be a disruption which puts that act clearly within the language of Tinker.

The other two rulings are poop.

Political speech has to be the freest speech
