It seems that if they did have some legal grounds to fight this, they'd be all over it.

I agree that if that's true they should be all over it, but there are a lot of examples of where they clearly are on the moral and legal side, and yet they do nothing.

I can't come up with a specific case right now, but I do remember O'Reilly taking the Scouts to task for just letting someone run all over them when they had the legal high ground without as much as a whimper.

The problem facing the Scouts legally is the precedent set in the Berkeley Sea Scouts case, which I linked to above in the thread. It’s a similar case in that the Sea Scouts were getting free dock space at the city marina, but when the city decided they didn’t like the Scouts gay policy, they took away that deal, offering instead to let them rent at normal market rate. The Scouts lost in the California Supreme Court (no surprise there), and the USSC declined to review, so there it stands.
