How much are their principles worth?

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that if law schools want to continue cashing checks from the federal government, then they have to treat military recruiters the same as they do other businesses.

As I noted at the time, it never really looked like the law schools were going to win this one.  I was mildly surprised, however, that not only was the opinion unanimous, but that there were no concurring opinions issued.

The other interesting thing to note about the case is, if OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto is correct, the decision in Rumsfeld v. FAIR, notes that Congress could pass a law requiring colleges give access to military recruiters even if they take no federal money. That'll give those nuts up in America-hating San Francisco something to think about.
