It’s probably a good thing to keep old men who run around in black bedrobes and lace, away from the little boys. Especially as there may not be anything under those pretty robes. http://scholarlycommons.law.case.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1063&context=faculty_publications
1st amendment?
Free association?
Free Speech?
Religious Concience?
Blah, blah blah. ..
I suppose I’d have to read the article to find if if what they’re saying is all judges are queers and dykes?
Don’t be silly that would be islamophobic or something!
I seem to remember a right to peaceably assemble. And to free speech. That may not be infringed by government. There is no exception for judges, who like to go camping, and who did not show fealty to those who take it right up the wazzoo.
That is the strangest ruling I’ve ever heard.
From here its just a small jump to total Gov control of peoples lives.
As well as Christian.
Oops! Looks bad for the homosexual marriage decision. Yikes!
That’s the clearest violation of the right to freely associate with others I have ever seen. Clearly unconstitutional.
Apparently the Boy Scouts are not as pro-gay as some freepers here claimed they were.
That freedom of association thing only applies to nobody.
California judges should be barred by the Boy Scouts on moral grounds.
“’The people of California have a right to an impartial and unbiased judiciary,” Richard Fybel, a state appeals court justice in Santa Ana and chairman of the high court’s ethics advisory committee, said Friday.”
Ah-huh. So, a judge who is involved with Scouts is automatically unable to render a fair decision on any case involving gay people? What a crock.
Every judge, whether in a group or not, is going to hold personal views that could potentially conflict with a particular case some day. That’s why they are supposed to set them aside and operate according to the rule of law.
I also note with wry humor that complaints of conflict of interest for Vaughn Walker, the judge who struck down Prop 8, and also happens to be homosexual, were found to be “warrantless” by the California district courts.
So, being gay and ruling on gay marriage=not a conflict on interest, but being involved in a respected youth organization that is about many, many things besides gay membership = you can’t be trusted to rule on any case that might be related to homosexuality in any way, shape, or form, because you’re obviously a homophobic bigot. Got it.
*pounds head against wall*
Is this only for home judges, or all of them?
the boy scouts organization is dead.
Lawyers and preverts have destroyed it.
Violation of 1st Amendment
A judge gives up the right to freedom of association?
What is Boy Scouts? (Dead to me.)
Homo’s vs Boy Scouts. Homo’s favored by a landslide...they have the referees on their side.
