U.S. District Judge Napoleon Jones Jr. said the Scouts' lease of the 18-acre Camp Balboa in Balboa Park violates provisions in the U.S. and state constitutions governing the separation of church and state.

Send this judge packing to a re-education camp immediately.

There are no provisions in the Constitution of The United Staes for separation of church and State.

1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;...

That's it. How is this applicable to the above case other than to say the judge prohibited the free exercise of the religion chosen by the BSA?

While I disagree with you on that, the deal between the government and the Scouts neither endorses nor enforces nor persecutes a religion. As far as the queer angle goes, it's ridiculous that people who make abnormal sex their reason for living can force others to "accept" and "celebrate" their lifestyle. While "all Men are Created Equal" they don't end up that way, particularly when their lifestyle choices are repugnant to others.

This is a disgustingly leftist ruling.
