...federal ban on dilation-and-extraction (a.k.a. partial-birth) abortions. In 2000, when the court struck down a similar ban enacted by Nebraska, Kennedy voted with the minority. This time the question is whether he'll be swayed more by his aversion to abortion or his respect for precedent...

If they can’t respect the run they could have dropped everyone back and just covered the pass, but they have so much respect for Clifton that they had to honor the run.” With his third score, Dawson rushed his way into a tie for third with Princeton’s Keith...
