- As far as I know - no legality problem. Wasn't there a Supreme Court
- ruling on this a few years back? The Feds are free to distribute
- and withhold money for any reason they want. This has recently been
- demonstrated with mandated drug testing of government contractors
- and abortion counseling gag order. Other examples include seatbelt
- laws and the drinking age in each state. That's why they're trying
- to make the whole country dependent on federal money - no need to
- answer to the Constitution.
