The following clip from a fairly conservatice rag intrigues me - and leaves me confused on where our new Supereme Court will take us. Following the "Bong Hits for Jesus" decision, it just isn't clear what types of free speech are free. I'll bet, however, that before long a lot of other freedoms of speech will be gone. It's just a matter of time before we become GWB's religious nation.
Putting its recent ruling on student speech into practice, the Supreme Court on Friday rejected a school district's appeal of a ruling that it violated a student's rights by censoring his anti-Bush T-shirt.
A seventh-grader from Vermont was suspended for wearing a shirt that bore images of cocaine and a martini glass _ but also had messages calling President Bush a lying drunk driver who abused cocaine and marijuana, and the "chicken-hawk-in-chief" who was engaged in a "world domination tour."
