Interesting First Amendment Debate at Volokh Conspiracy on Cancelling Elections

There is an interesting First Amendment issue being debated at the Volokh Conspiracy, my favorite constitutional blog. The case, Husain v. Springer, is getting quite a bit of play around the blogosphere. It concerns a recent Second Circuit ruling concerning student run newspapers, student elections and a university president's power to cancel the election -- and, oh yeah, and the First Amendment. It is quite a "chilling" decision. Especially interesting is the dissent in which the Chief Justice of the Second Circuit admitted "I have not read [the majority opinion ... because] this case is about nothing." More on the dissent at the TaxProf Blog.
