ACLU Challenges Student Aid Provision
The ACLU filed a lawsuit that challenges the Constitutionality of a federal law that prohibits college students with drug convictions from receiving financial aid. The main basis of the suit claims that the law is in violation of the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment since students have been punished already by the convicting court. The other complaint is that the rich are insulated from the law since they don't need the financial aid in the first place.
