[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The supreme court may not undo their decisions if the law does not change.[/quote]
That's simply not true.  The Supreme Court has reversed itself many times.  The most famous might be Brown v Board of education, which reversed the Court's prior separate-but-equal ruling.

And to be clear, if another Boy Scouts case arrived at the Supreme Court, and the Court ruled differently, it probably wouldn't even be reversing itself because the case would involve different facts (since the Boy Scouts have changed their position on gay members).[/quote]

Let there be a thousand new gay member cases, the freedom of association and the freedom of religion will never permit the admission of homosexuals to associations or religious entities if it impinges on the associations right of expression and if it impinges on the faith of the religious entities. There are many such groups and homosexuality goes completely against their principles. The law defends their right to reject homosexuals. It's not the purpose of government to determine if it's a fair, just, or right view. The law has to permit groups to associate and practice religion even if the views espoused by these groups are in the minority or unpopular. [/quote]
