The cultural struggle over homosexuality is being fought in two arenas with quite different results.
The first is the arena of public opinion, and here, thanks to generally favorable media attention, gays and lesbians are experiencing great success.
The recent protest against Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family produced the usual lopsided media coverage. On one side were fetching photos and references to gays and lesbians; on the other was a series of hateful quotes uttered by the most ignorant "supporters" of Focus on the Family.
This familiar formula isn't likely to change anytime soon, but there is another arena where the same cultural and social issues are being contested, and here the results are much more mixed. That arena, of course, is the courts.
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will review a lower court ruling issued late last year which held that Congress could not withhold federal funds from law schools that refused to allow military recruiters on campus.
That decision — made by a split three-judge panel in the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals — if allowed to stand, would doubtlessly spawn fresh policy disputes at hundreds of other colleges and universities.
The fact that the Supreme Court will hear the case is decidedly not good news for the coalition of law schools and faculties that dreamed up the rather novel arguments presented to the 3rd Circuit.

I pray we need a new Supreme Court Justice, and soon.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Got to have right minded judges. Got to have right minded judges.
Right minded means NOT leftist, homosexualist, feminazi, pro-death liberals.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
I disagree somewhat with the favorable public opinion. More Americans now than last year are opposed to "gay" marriage. Every single state - even liberal Oregon - where the voters themselves could vote about marriage - have voted down "gay" marriage.
You need to be more specific.
Father God, I pray that you save and change the liberals on the supreme court. I pray that if they refuse to be saved and changed that you remove them before they cause any more damage and place Godly conservative Christian men in their place so that this country can turn back to you
I further pray that you keep our conservative justices healthy and safe until we have a great enough majority for them to retire and still leave the court conservative.
I ask these things in Jesus name. Amen
I think we could include women also.
Then on the flip side, real men tend to be far more logical (and less feeling oriented) than women so maybe an all male SC wouldn't be bad. I'm certain that 'feelings' were to blame for banning the death penalty for 17 year old murdering animals. as well as for legalizing same sex sodomy.
Judge George Greer is a male.

My point exactly!
