You said conservative justices are no good on personal freedom. Remember that? That's what the Supreme Court case was about. Your point that libertarians are for freedom is beside the point. You claim that it doesn't matter what judges we have if they're Democrat or Republican appointees. If all the justices were Democratic appointees, the BSA would have essentially been taken over by the federal government by now.

Crumbs from the master's table... so conservatives would keep the BSA from being taken over by the federal government. So what? To review, the compassionate conservatives of the GOP WON'T let the Democrats take over the Boy Scouts. However, they WILL: 1) Throw the scouts in jail with hardened criminals if they get caught smoking a joint; 2) Will do the same thing to the scouts' parents, grandparents, nieces, nephews, cousins, priests, rabbis, teachers, friends who are dying of AIDS, suffering from glaucoma, nausea, etc. 3) Will deny those people financial aid for said drug offense while using the tax code and regulations to make the cost of higher education prohibitive. But the important thing is at least they won't have gay Scoutmasters. What a relief!

You're extremely confused. The courts don't do any of those things. Legislatures and Governors which are popularly elected pass (or don't) pass laws calling for those things and prsecutors prosecute them. Remember, I'm talking about COURT DECISIONS HERE!!!! DO YOU REMEMBER THAT???? You have continually asserted that it doesn't matter who controls the courts amongst Democrats and Republicans!!!!
