Here's A Nice Summary, Of Why Harvard Will Likely Win Out On Summary Judgment In Mass. Fed. Court: These Are Truly Loco Trumpian Attacks On It...

Anyone who ever saw Tangerine as a free speech absolutist (in like 2015-16-ish) must now admit: he is the opposite of it.

He's a stupidly malign oppressor, exclusively -- one who wants HIS (and only his) version of a Musk-controlled federal government to invade your classrooms, your bedrooms (whom you may love -- and how they may refer to themselves) and yes, your basic science / research labs. He wants to dictate what may be read, and studied -- and thus. . . what you are allowed. . . to think.

Obviously he will lose in this quest. Here's the latest, in the form of a very well-put memo (from the lawyers for Harvard) to support the bouncing of Trump, out of court, summarily:

. . .Since Harvard’s founding nearly 400 years ago, its students, faculty, and researchers have worked to identify and solve some of society’s most pressing problems. They have developed novel drugs to fight Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, engineered nanofibers to protect American military servicemembers and first responders, supported American astronauts in space, and designed an artificial intelligence system that can be used to diagnose and treat cancer. These pathbreaking and life-saving advancements are due in part to the longstanding collaboration between the Government and research universities such as Harvard. Generations of Americans are healthier and safer as a result.

Over the last two months, the Government has abruptly -- without any process or reasoned explanation -- ended that longstanding partnership in a manner that flagrantly violates the First Amendment multiple times over. On April 11, 2025, citing concerns about alleged antisemitism and ideological bias at Harvard, the Government identified a list of “conditions” that Harvard must satisfy to continue receiving federal funding. . . .

All told, the tradeoff put to Harvard was clear: Allow the Government to micromanage your viewpoints and your academic institution or jeopardize your ability to pursue medical breakthroughs, scientific discoveries, and innovative solutions.

Because Harvard would not allow itself to be taken over by the Government, Harvard rejected the Government’s demands on April 14, 2025. . . .

The [Tangerine 2.0] Government’s actions are unlawful for multiple reasons. First, the Government’s actions violate the First Amendment. They are unconstitutional retaliation against Harvard for exercising its First Amendment rights to decide what to teach, to express certain views, and to petition the courts to defend itself. The Government’s actions also impose unconstitutional conditions that seek to “interfere with private actors’ speech to advance [the Government’s] own vision of ideological balance,” Moody v. NetChoice, 603 U.S. 707, 741 (2024), and “‘to achieve the suppression’ of disfavored speech,” Nat’l Rifle Ass’n v. Vullo, 602 U.S. 175, 189 (2024) (citation omitted).

The Government’s content- and viewpoint-based attempt to coerce and control Harvard is blatantly unconstitutional. . . .

So at least here -- for readers of this property -- it will be no surprise when Harvard wins, hands down. Onward, resolutely.
