SCOTUS, 8-1: You Better Believe Students Can Sue Colleges Over “Speech Zone” First Amendment Violations

That gasp heard after this ruling dropped comes from every college and university with a “free speech zone” and policies that impose heckler’s vetoes. Plaintiffs suing over restrictions on speech and religious expression on campus only need to establish “nominal damages” to gain standing, the Supreme Court ruled in an 8-1 decision, not necessarily actual damages. That opens up a vast new field of litigation that attorneys all across the country will rush to meet.

The 8-1 ruling in Uzuegbunam v Preczewski from Justice Clarence Thomas does not actually settle the case in favor of the students, but the writing is on the wall for Georgia Gwinnett College:

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Supreme Court Rules 8-1 In Major Case – Clarence Thomas Leads 1st Amendment Charge, Single Vote Against Is Roberts
By Adam Casalino|March 9, 2021
 
What’s Happening:

With Joe Biden in the White House, and Democrats running rampant in Congress, Republicans have few recourses to defend the Constitution.

Their only hope, for many issues, is the Supreme Court. The court is the last line of defense for states to fight back against Biden’s radical left-wing agenda.

Already, crucial cases have come before this session of the court. One involved the First Amendment rights of an evangelist on a college campus. Decisions like this could affect the rights of all Americans.

But no one could have predicted the final vote.

Lol.  Roberts was the only dissenter, making him more of a leftwing radical than Elena Kagan.

I must admit, I am surprised at his judicial philosophy - he doesn't think the court should be involved in anything.

@Bigun

I was saying he couldn't be trusted before he even got to the court. He was,to me,obviously a member of the Boy Jorge Homosexual cadre,and who is more suitable for blackmail that a prominent homosexual judge that is still in the closet?

Justice Clarence Thomas issued the opinion of the court Monday, siding with Chike Uzuegbunam, a former student at Georgia Gwinnett College, and affirming his right to share his Christian faith on campus.

Finally some good news!

Justice Thomas has been on the right side of issues since he's been on the court. Why, oh why, can't we get more justices like him?

Or could it be the illegal adoption of two children?

Roberts dissents.  He's afraid that people will turn to the courts to address infringements on their rights by government agencies and others.

What a strange idea that is, right?

And why couldn't Bush have named him Chief Justice after Rehnquist instead of Roberts?

Because Boy Jorge knew he couldn't get a "two-way" with Thomas.

Robert's dissent begins on pp. 17: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/19-968_8nj9.pdf

His reason is maddening, yet totally consistent with his unwillingness to decide any other case.  Essentially, he says that plaintiff does not have staying power because he is no longer a student at the two-year institution, and thus is no longer affected by their policies.  In addition, plaintiff was not able to prove the sought monetary damages of one dollar, thus invalidating the case.  I would question Robert's sanity at this point.

A sane and honest Congress would impeach him.

If Trump is returned for his third term and something good happens to Justice  Roberts, I can see the Rodents all screaming that they've lost an important ally on the bench.
