<div>A little off topic, and there is a thread that touches on this on the second page, but it is a slow football week, and I'm interested in knowing more about this.</div><div>
</div>I wasn't old enough to understand or care what was going on when this case finally ended (I wasn't eve born when it was first filed), but I just went into WestLaw and the read the entirety of the case. I've never disagreed with a ruling more. However, after the opinion by the Supreme Court there was really no other way to go. This is something that will continue to haunt our University. It gives us almost no room to grow, and it really is a shame.<div>
</div><div>My favorite part of the opinion comes in its opening, where Judge Biggers draws an analogy to the fictional case of Jarndyce and Jarndyce, which is a creation of Charles Dickens ( I think in Bleak House? That is a guess though). "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; ">The ... suit has, in course of time, become so complicated, that no man alive knows what it means. The parties to it understand it least; but it has been observed that no two lawyers can talk about it for five minutes without coming to a total disagreement as to all the premises. Innumerable children have been born into it; innumerable old people have died out of it...</span>"</div><div>
</div><div>Has anyone tried to do anything about changing this ruling? Bigger precedents have been overturned. I don't know exactly what the political climate was in the State of Mississippi at the time of all of this, but i assume that had a lot to do with the final rulings.</div>
