State Senate resolution urging UC to condemn anti-Semitism draws objections over language

Jesse Choper quoted in The Daily Californian, July 5, 2015

According to Jesse Choper … the legislature can take most kinds of symbolic action as long as it doesn’t amount to telling citizens what they can and cannot do.
