SCOTUS, 8-1: You better believe students can sue colleges over “speech zone” First Amendment violations

That gasp heard after this ruling dropped comes from every college and university with a free speech zone and policies that impose heckler s vetoes. Plaintiffs suing over restrictions on speech and religious expression on campus only need to establish nominal damages to gain standing, the Supreme Court ruled in an 8-1 decision, not necessarily actual damages. That opens up a vast new field of litigation that attorneys all across the country will rush to meet.
