Clinton Prosecutor Now Targeting Free Speech 571
Virchull tells us about a case the Supreme Court has agreed to hear, in which former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr will take the side of an Alaska school board against a student who displayed a rude banner off school property. The banner read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" and it got the student suspended. He and his parents sued the school board for violating his First Amendment rights. The case is nuanced: while the student did not display the banner on school property, he did do so during a school function. Starr is said to be arguing the case for free.

This reminds me of a quote from the West Wing. The background story of the episode was that it was the day the President receives the creditentials of every foriegn ambassador. Eventually the President receives the Swedish ambassador. The ambassador leaves, and the President turns to his aide and says, "Did you know Sweden has a 100% literacy rate? How do they do that? We have 99%. How do they have a 100%?" The aide says, "Maybe the don't Mr. President. Maybe they can't count either."
