Ed, I don't see how your posts are responsive to my point. What does the ruling of the Supremes on the Texas sodomy law, a ruling that occurred after Dale vs. BSA, have to do with whether or not Dale vs. BSA would have gotten to the Supremes or not had the bill proposed at the head of this thread been law then?

1. The Scouts won in Dale vs. BSA
2. The Nation lost in Lawrence v. Texas, 123 S. Ct. 2472 (2003).

#1 Occurred by a 1 vote margin. Do you realize how close that was?

#2 Occurred because (H. R. 3893) wasn't law.

The purpose of (H. R. 3893) is to confine errors to the States in which they occur and let the citizens of those states rectify the problem in accordance with their respective legislative, and judicial remedies.

The error of Dale vs. BSA would be confined to N.J.

Lawrence v. Texas would have never made it to SCOTUS and nothing would have changed in those states with sodomy laws.
