I’m not so sure

Glenn Reynolds: THERES NO IQ TEST TO BE A UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATOR: University administrator says federal statute trumps the Constitution.

I get what the good professor is saying and all. But how is the administrator, in any meaningful sense, wrong? There are a number of federal statutes that are clearly unconstitutional and they are still treated as law. And are, often, held up in a court of law.

    You know who else didn’t need to pass a test befoer taking a position of power?

    Actually, the First Amendment jurisprudence on this is pretty murky. Maybe government money can be given to a student newspaper with strings attached (as to what it may or may not print) and maybe it can’t. It’s better policy for a school receiving public funds not to get involved with student newspapers at all — no facilities, no furniture and equipment, no money, and no censorship.

    “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void.” Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury v. Madison, 5, U.S. (Cranch) 137, 174,176, 1801

    @Ron W: Your arresting officer, and the rest of the station, will really get a kick out of that one.

  5. nk Says:

    That’s the second thing Marbury v. Madison stands for. The first thing is that the Supreme Court decides which laws are repugnant to 5 out of 9 Justices, err, I mean, the Constitution.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
