In an 8-0 opinion released today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Congress could require colleges and universities to furnish equal access to military recruiters as a condition of receiving federal funds without running afoul of the First Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. wrote the unanimous opinion. Howard Bashman’s How Appealing has an extensive roundup of news articles and online commentary about Rumsfeld v.

Hi, I am writing from RNN-TV a local news station in the Westchester County, NY area. Every night we do a live news show where there is a question and we like to get reaction from viewers over the phone and through emails. Our question for tonight is about colleges being forced to have recruiters on their campuses if they accept federal funding. Should colleges be forced to choose between federal funding or recruiters? We would love your reactions to this question to be read on the air tonight on Richard French Live at 7 pm. Please email all reactions to comments@rnntv.com, and thank you for your cooperation!
