SCOTUSblog: Balkin, Rumsfeld v. FAIR, and Schools' Right to Protest the Military (Commentary)Marty Lederman writes on SCOTUSblog: "Unlike titles VI and IX, the Solomon Amendment is not a classic or 'true' 'equal access' and antidiscrimination statute. As the Court itself held in rejecting the Harvard/Columbia statutory argument, in at least one important respect the SA requires schools to give preferential treatment to military recruiters: They are exempted from recruiting rules with which all other employers must comply. " I've wondered about that, since it seemed to me that JAG was getting the same access as other recruiters, facing the same hoops, both time, place and manner (I don't think JAG is allowed to recruit wherever on campus it chooses and whenever) and also as to the employer's antidiscrimination rules. All I can figure is "All the animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
