Brickbat: Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent

The California’
Supreme court’s ethics advisory committee has recommended that it
ban judges from membership in the Boy
Scouts because the group does not allow homosexuals to
serve as troop leaders. California judges are banned from
membership in groups that discriminate on the basis of sexual
orientation. That ban exempts nonprofit youth organizations such as
the Boy Scouts, but judges are required to reveal any connections
to the Boy Scouts in cases involving gay rights.
