CA Supreme Court bans judges’ membership in Boy Scouts

Legal Insurrection reports:
California’s seven Supreme Court judges have voted unanimously to prohibit state judges from holding membership in the Boy Scouts of America; the ruling is based on the grounds that the Scouts discriminate against gays.

California is one of several states that has rules on the books banning judges from holding memberships in groups that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation; the court, however, also carved out an exception for non-profit youth groups, including the Boy Scouts.

Everything changed, however, when an ethics advisory committee recommended the ban last year.
All the Boy Scouts have to do is put the word "muslim" in front of their organization name and California's Supreme Court will leave them alone. No word yet on when California will ban muslim's from being judges, given the way muslim's feel about gays.
