The Constitution and The Boy Scouts (Part I)

On May 18, 2005, a panel of leading constitutional scholars organized by the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy participated in a program called "The Constitution and The Boy Scouts: Equal Access to Government Land and the First Amendment." The program was webcast live from San Diego, venue of important litigation between the ACLU and Boy Scouts of America. The panel discussed the Boy Scouts' access to government land following the Supreme Court of the United States' 2000 decision in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale focusing on the recent litigation involving leases of parkland in Balboa Park and Mission Bay Park by the City of San Diego to Boy Scouts. Nearly 150 guests were present for the event and several hundred logged into the live webcast.

NEWS FLASH...

The U.S. Constitution was written to set guidelines and limitations on GOVERNMENT. That being the case, only the government can be in violation of it.

ANY private organization can not violate the constitution because it does not pertain to them.

ACLU = American Communist Lawyers Union, They should sit down, shut up, and get out of the US

Obviously you weren't a Boy Scout. I was, and I know that you are wrong.

the aclu doesn't like boyscout for a few reasons

1. they don't let Gays be troop leaders

2. boyscout got funding on foriegn mil. base not anymore thanks to..... you guessed it aclu

3. they really hate that boyscouts sell popcorn not cookies.

The ACLU should leave the BSA alone. The BSA has produced many decent successful young men since W. D. Boyce's encounter with an unknown scout in London and brought it to the US in 1910.
