Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti is joining Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares’ bipartisan coalition of 40 state attorneys general in urging the Supreme Court to rule in favor of James Rudisill in Rudisill v. McDonough. Rudisill, a decorated army veteran, had used the GI Bill to complete his undergraduate degree. After being accepted into the Yale Divinity School, Rudisill was denied further benefits, even though veterans with multiple requisite periods of service can earn up to 48 months of educational benefits. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the decision. You can read the brief here.
