Court Deals Blow to GOP Dream Act Opponents in Montgomery College Case

Yesterday, Montgomery College officials alerted the public to an August 16 Circuit Court decision dismissing a lawsuit brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch. The organization sued the college's Board of Trustees last January, "for unlawfully giving illegal aliens in-state tuition benefits." At issue was Montgomery College's practice of granting in-county tuition rates to graduates of county high schools, regardless of their immigration status.

When it is not fighting affordable higher education, Judicial Watch releases lists like their annual "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians." Last year's winners included President Obama and Senator Barbara Boxer, along with Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank.
