EXCERPT:
CNN – The Supreme Court has ruled against a Christian campus group that sued after a California law school denied it official recognition because the student organization limits its core membership to those who share its beliefs on faith and marriage.
At issue was the conflict between a public university’s anti-discrimination policies and a private group’s freedom of religion and association.
In dissent, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, “I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that today’s decision is a serious setback for freedom of expression in this country.” He was supported by Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.

Holding: It is not unconstitutional for a public institution to require a student group to allow any student to participate regardless of their status or beliefs.
