#3 The SCOTUS was also sending a message to all the liberal law schools who opposed military recruiting on political grounds, about the complexion of the new court.

#4 "...on political grounds, about the complexion of the new court"

Uh, OK. What I found striking was that the university types swayed NOT ONE of the existing liberals on the court. Not ONE.

#5 I am not convinced these schools care about the DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL policy - for me its more a cover for a basic issue, i.e. that Lefties can claim they don't have to fight in any war iff they don't want to but are still entitled to the rights, priveleges, and PUBLIC AIDS $$$ of full American citizenship. In WW2 many men whom successfully claimed CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR to war or combat were still taken by the armed forces and placed in medical or other OBA support units. These lib schools know that without federal funding, or lower federal funding, they would have to charge private tuition rates which would escalate costs for students and eventually induce many schools into banruptcy due to low attendance coupled with higher faculty costs.

#6 The law has said for many decades that any private institution that accepts any form of federal student aid or other publicly subsidized aid, however partial, is akin to a public land grant institution and must allow ROTC andor mil recruitment.
