SandRat, please ping yoru Scouting list.
Thanx
The big question is who pays the ACLU legal fees.
A win for the BSA and losses for the ACLU and male homosexuals looking for prey.
A win for our side!
Now make the ACLU pay for all the legal fees!!!!!!
The bad part of this is that the ACLU is under no obligation ro reimburse the Boy Scouts or the taxpayers for the money it burned up in this lawsuit. However, if the ACLU did win, they would be allowed to bill the taxpayers for legal fees.
The ACLU adherents need:
a brain transplant
a life
Unbelievable how the aclu has nothing good to do with its time and feels that is should go around interfering with Boy Scouts’ right to gather as they please. The aclu is nothing more than an organization that promotes the conversion of the USA into an atheistic state.
I really love when the Federal courts dismiss cases because of “standing” or “justicability.” Both standing and justicability are keys to the courthouse door and without them, the courts cannot decide a case upon the merits. As a result, the Federal courts have used both standing, as it did in this case, and justicability to side-step important issues that the court would rather not decide on the merits.
Awesome news.
Sandrat, please add me to your Scouting Ping List.
I would have been more pleased with the judicial reasoning though had it been on other grounds than lack of standing by taxpayers on how tax money is spent.
YAY!!!! for the Scouts!!!
Good.
“In today’s ruling, the federal Court of Appeals in Chicago reversed the district court’s decision, concluding that the taxpayers named as the plaintiffs in the lawsuit did not have standing to sue DoD in the first place. “
YES!! Thank the Lord for Scouting, and for this ruling!!
