Justice Antonin Scalia, rarely one to remain silent on such issues as this, issued a concurring opinion to further castigate the school for viewpoint discrimination. Justices John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and David Souter dissented. Expect to see columnists, editorial writers, and others issuing their concurring opinions and dissents in the next few days. Weblog, of course, will keep you posted.

The Abu Sayyaf rebels holding missionaries Martin and Gracia Burnham and one other American backed out of a promise to kill one of them at midnight (EDT) last night.

The missionaries and other hostages are still very much in danger as the situation gets increasingly desperate for both the rebels and the Philippine military.
