Updating an earlier story which reported that Indiana University – South Bend “decided to remove Chick-fil-A as a campus vendor after news that a Pennsylvania franchise will be donating food for an event hosted by a known anti-homosexual group,” WSBT News is now reporting that “Chick-Fil-A has not been banned from campus after all,” but that IUSB “has suspended the once-a-week service from Chick-Fil-A pending a review of food service policies.” Somebody needs to “review” the “policies” of the government-paid academic geniuses at IUSB responsible for “banning” or “suspending” Chick-f/Fil-A for such a reason, because they obviously don’t know their First Amendment from a hole in the ground.

Is it just me, or is this just a little too much information, even for the “Facts and Procedural History” of an Indiana Supreme Court opinion: “He intended to rape [Victim], but after exposing her vagina decided against it for fear of contracting a disease. Realizing she could identify him, he cut her throat with a foldable hunting knife.” I suppose the court needed to explain that a rape was intended but didn’t occur and that empathy for his victim isn’t what deterred the defendant from carrying out his purpose, but in this instance I wouldn’t have presented the defendant’s explanation for his behavior as “fact.”

This public infighting among the highest judges of the state to our northwest, who preside in the city where I got my law degree, does my heart good and confirms my biases, as did this fascinating story emanating from the supreme court of the state directly to our north.
