I've got the caselaw right here in a matter called:

Supream Court of New Jersy
James Dale

vs

Boy Scouts of America

The issue is not about admiting homosexuals, but
frankly: *Is the Boy Scouts a private orginization that has the right to
ask members to embrace it's principals as a criteria for membership.

This will be a Constitutional question, as if the court decides *yes..
the matter will settle itself.

If *No...  serious ramifications will result as the Federal Constitution
guarantees that the Boy Scouts may limit membership to those only who
agree with it's principals.

Any State decision purporting to impose a contrary result will violate the
first amendment made applicable to the states by the fourteenth
ammendment.


*Others decisions have been made as in California recently: "Curren vs.
Mt Diablo council of BSA"  where the Calif.Supream Court held that Calif's
civil rights did not apply to the Boy Scouts...


*We should PRAY for wisdom in supporting the BSA!  ...this is a case where
*Virtue is on trial. for what is in qusetion is the Scout Law... that
states:

On my Honor...I will do my best to do my duty, to GOD and country and to
obey the scout law and help other people at all times, to keep myself
phyisical strong, mentaly awake and moraly straight.


*Scouts beleve and are will to defend that these alturnitive lifestyles of
sin are not examples that can be defined as "normal" or recomended as
falling within the defineing words of the Scout Oath and Law.


Thanks...
