The obvious riposte is for the Christians at the law school to en masse join the LGBT group and elect their own as officers. The reductio ad absurdum of SCOTUS's ruling would not be lost on the law school's board, and even if they may legally deny religious groups recognition. Either they would launch a wholesale persecution of Christian students making the matter a cause célèbre and causing the law school more grief than it's worth, or they would relent and not exercise their new-found legal right to deny Christian groups recognition.

Interestingly I've faced the same sort of issue with regard to membership in the Orthodox Christian Fellowship at the (state) university where I work. We've had to adopt a constitution for the group that allows all students, regardless of religion, to join, but which constitutes a governing board for the group consisting of those members who are Orthodox Christians in good standing with any canonical Orthodox jurisdiction, and requires that officers be among the members of the governing board.

Pinging both lists to a SCOTUS decision today. If atheist and/or homosexuals, Muslims, etc can join a Christian group that "receives funding" because it uses a university classroom to meet, than any group will have to accept members who are in opposition to the club or group's beliefs and mission statements.

IMO a very bad ruling, but a natural result of the war against God and morality. Another expample of why fedgov spending needs to be cut at least 50%, with most agencies, bureaus, and departments not just trimmed but chipper shredded and put on the compost pile.

PS - note The Reader David's comment, too.
