The Supreme Court, by a 5-4 decision, has decided to award Public Institutions, such as Colleges, dominated by progressive-fascist ideologues, with the right to render all organizations on their campus to be violated by agents who seek to destroy their mission, their agenda, their very charter. A Christian group that limited members to believers who followed basic Christain morals, like not engaging in homosexual activities, is being forced to make a choice between being recognized by the School (with all its inherint benefits) at the cost of being invaded and infiltrated by people who might be anti-christian, or moving their group off-campus (and thus lose any benefits other organizations might have).
It seems that if the Supreme Court wants to disallow Freedom of Association, following up its 2004 decision to violate the right to property (see Kelo v New London), then the Supreme Court can no longer be considered a credible body. If this nation no longer has a credible arbitor on Constitutional Rights, then this country no longer has a constitution. If this country has abandoned its constitution, as now seems apparent by this ruling and the Kelo ruling, then this nation is no longer a nation of rule of law but a nation of fascist rule. Whichever ideology is in office has increasing power to destroy or limit the opposition, leaving the people with little to none legal options to stop the suppression of their freedoms. This nation has taken one step closer to civil war with this ruling. It is looking over the precipice, and only a dramatic step back from this frightening abyss will prevent this nation from being torn assunder by lawlessness and oppression.

“In requiring CLS — in common with all other student organizations — to choose between welcoming all students and forgoing the benefits of official recognition, we hold, Hastings did not transgress constitutional limitations,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who wrote the 5-4 majority opinion for the court’s liberals and moderate Anthony Kennedy. “CLS, it bears emphasis, seeks not parity with other organizations, but a preferential exemption from Hastings’ policy.”
Justice Samuel Alito wrote a strong dissent for the court’s conservatives, saying the opinion was “a serious setback for freedom of expression in this country.”
“Our proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express ‘the thought that we hate,’” Alito said. “Today’s decision rests on a very different principle: no freedom of expression that offends prevailing standards of political correctness in our country’s institutions of higher learning….Brushing aside inconvenient precedent, the Court arms public educational institutions with a handy weapon for suppressing the speech of unpopular groups — groups to which, as Hastings candidly puts it, these institutions ‘do not wish to…lend their name[s].’ …I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that today’s decision is a serious setback for freedom of expression in this country.”
