The Boy Scouts of America will open itself to a “veritable Pandora’s box of litigation” if it allows homosexual boys to be scouts, warns a veteran Supreme Court litigator and special counsel to the Republican National Committee.
In a letter to each of the 1,400 scout leaders expected to vote finally on Thursday on a proposed change to the organization’s longstanding ban on gay boy scouts, prominent conservative lawyer James Bopp Jr. contends the change would undermine protections provided by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 2000 decision.
