A judge in Lansing says Andrew Shirvell is entitled to unemployment benefits after being fired as an assistant state attorney general.

Shirvell was discharged for misconduct, but the judge says he was simply exercising his free speech rights in a crusade against a gay student leader.

Andrew Shirvell drew widespread attention for his campaign to discredit the University of Michigan’s first openly gay student body president.

Shirvell wrote a blog, showed up to protest at events that were attended by Chris Armstrong, and staked out his house with a video camera.

Republican Bill Schuette gave his acceptance speech just now, declaring that Michigan needs less crime and lower taxes and now that Republicans are in charge, will get both.    "Are you all on duty?" he asked the crowd in an echo of his campaign slogan, Schuette on Duty.
