Well, I'm sure the ACLU is having a field day with all this.

This reminds me not only of the Cold War but of the Fugitive Slave Act.
When the feds passed the Fugitive Slave Act back in the 1850's, the state of
Vermont voted not to honor or enforce it, and didn't.  I would have the
greatest respect for any university that simply refused to cooperate with
the feds in this new terrorism crap.  But it all seems more complex and
subtle now somehow.
