ACLU SUES BOY SCOUTS, DEMANDS THEY ALLOW "WARLOCK PEDOPHILES" TO BE SCOUTMASTERS AND LEAD SCOUT TROOPS IN SEXUAL INITIATIONS OF SECRET COVENS"

The boy scouts are a private organization. SCOTUS has already ruled in their favor. The two situations are not analagous.

Well, first, I was obviously being (somewhat)facetious, so let's not be too literal-minded. That said, the Boy Scouts have been under constant assault from the ACLU, and there is pressure to force public entities such as the DOD, public parks, etc. to sever all contact of any sort with the Boy Scouts unless Scouting USA agrees to allow gay scoutmasters, etc. So, no, I don't think my headline is at all far-fetched in the current climate - the question is not whether the Boy Scouts have won some particular case at SCOTUS, it's whether the ACLU and friends will continue to flail and probe away until they beat back every conceivable type of public association with the scouts, unless the scouts (heaven forbid) agree to become an ACLU-clone organization.
