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.
